I want to let someone know about what happened in 2005 to my 1992 corolla.i was waiting behind another car to pull out into traffic. My foot was on the brake. All of a sudden my car began to accelerate forward/ i immediately put my other foot on the brake and pushed as hard as i could. Luckily i was able to stop it before i hit the car in front of me. But it took every bit of strength i had to do it. I never reported it because i was in the process of getting a new car which i have now. A 2005 corolla. I reported it to toyota when i heard about all the other problems because i thought they should know. This was a 1992 car. My foot was not even on the gas pedal when it happened. I never heard a response from toyota.
