I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE... WAS ALMOST KILLED AND HAD TO DRIVE IN EMERGENCY LAND BEFORE BUILDING UP SPEED..... THE PROBLEM IS THE ECM IN MY 2002 TOYOTA RAV4 FAILED. *TR
2012
WHEELS
I HAD JUST GOTTEN ON A 6 LANE EXPRESSWAY WITH A 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT. HANDS AT TEN AND TWO - JUST WATCHING THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH IN THE FAR LEFT LANE SO PEOPLE COULD TURN ON THE ROAD. I HAD BEEN HAVING A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I WOULD PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY FOR AWHILE BUT DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I HAD JUST GOTTEN A 10,000 MILE OIL CHANGE AND AFTER REMOVING A TIRE WITH A NAIL IN IT FOUND THEY HAD TO ORDER THE TIRE, WHICH TOOK 3 WEEKS TO GET (APPARENTLY RUN FLAT TIRES ARE STILL IN JAPAN,,) SO, I BACK TO MY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE- I WAS DRIVING SLOWER THAN THE SPEED LIMIT DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I LOST ALL STEERING IN MY VEHICLE AND I WAS HEADED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HIT THE TALL CEMENT MEDIAN AND I PULLED AS HARD AS I COULD BACK TO THE RIGHT. AFTER I HIT I HAD A LITTLE CONTROL AGAIN. WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE TIRES STRIPED FLAT I HAD ENOUGH STEERING TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND GET BACK ON THE CORRECT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULL THE THING INTO A SIDE PARKING LOT TO BE TOWED. I FEEL LIKE THE THING IS TRYING THE KILL ME! WARRANTY HAS TO COVER THIS BUT I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO TRADE IT IN. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE THE DAMN THING. ATLLEAST I HAVE TWO WITNESSES THAT CAN VERIFY MY EVENT INCASE TOYOTA TRIES TO SCREW ME OVER. RAV4S R DANGEROUS VEHICLES AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE RECALLED OR PEOPLE R GOING TO DIE. *TR
