Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota highlander. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH from a complete stop, the brake pedal traveled to the floor upon engaging. The vehicle failed to slow down and crashed into another vehicle. The driver's side air bag partially deployed. The contact suffered bruises and minor pain to the chest as a result of the driver's side seat belt faulty webbing. In addition, the seat belt retractor would not function during the crash.

My daughter leased a 2005 4 cylinder, FWD toyota highlander in february 2005, and has put on about 5,000 miles. The car was leased in louisville, ky. A few days ago she was driving on the highway at about 65MPH, and noticed that the gas peddle was stuck, and would not come up so as to reduce the speed. The first time this happened, she managed to reach down and pull the peddle assembly up, and deceleration occurred.
