What owners wrote
On the morning of august 27, 2014, my daughter was pulling into a parking space, with her foot on the brake. The 2006 toyota corolla suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb, and crashed into a stone support column in front of a doctor's office. If the stone support column had not been there to stop the car, the car would have crashed through the front of the doctor's office, possibly resulting in severe injury or even death to the occupants inside.
