What owners wrote
May 3, 2019, approximately 33 days after software updated due to recall (to prevent stalling) vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. Due to location of event, all property damage and injuries were minor. Event has been reported to toyota and owner's auto insurance provider. Vehicle was in a commercial parking lot, braking in process, moving at less than 5 MPH when acceleration occurred.
Toyota imp as I went to accelerate onto one of the most dangerous entrances to the 110 parkway in los angeles, my car stalled. The car worked very slowly for a couple of minutes, then it would not even go into drive. There was still power and air conditioning. After having it towed off the highway to the dealership, it was confirmed to be the power inverter. I had the software recall done in 2015, yet my car's inverter still failed.
