I was stopped on the freeway in traffic that had stopped, and I was several feet away from the vehicle in front of me. All of a sudden the gas pedal engaged and my car lunged forward. I pressed on the brake as hard as I could but it did not stop it, so I pulled up the hand brake but not before I had hit the rear bumper of the car in front of me. I was ticketed for following too close which was not the case.
I have a 1995 toyota tercel and the seat belt buckles are broken and no have a correct function. Please I need to know is this a recall I consider this issue affect a security driver and passenger safety in a crash.
