What owners wrote

I was preparing to make a right turn into an exit driveway. About 12 feet directly in front of me was a cement brick wall paralleling the driveway. As I took my foot off the brake, the car rocketed into the cement brick wall. Fortunately,, air bags deployed and I was not injured badly nor was anyone else. $ 13,000 to fix my car and I don't know if this will happen tome again. I will be like driving a time bomb. I plan to take the car to toyota and have them check my systems and certify, this will not happen again.
