Reported at 40,000 miles, December 2010 CrashInjury

We have a 2009 corolla. The vehicle has been jumping right from the time of purchase when we mention to dealership they have told us there is nothing wrong with the vehicle several times. They don't even document it unless we are demanding it. We have not had an accident as of yet but the spring has been put under the pedal and it still wants to take off at times. It is not consistent but frequent enough to be concerned. Towne toyota refuses to own up to this problem, the date is the first date we experienced it.
