On November 09, 2009, about 19:21 P.M. I was driving my vehicle Toyota Tacoma 2006. I was unable to stop at the red signal due to brake failure and my car was going down the grade totaly out of control without brakes and unable to stiring the wheel and after this I struck another vehicle. The accident happened in paterson, passaic county, New Jersey. The police report # 09-141205. The next day after the accident Toyota sent me a recall letter about floor mat interference with accelerator pedal.
I was creeping--2 or 3 mph--up to an intersection in my 06 Tacoma. When I tried to stop, I could feel the anti lock brakes shifting around, but the truck would not stop. It "drove itself" into the path of a mack dump truck, totaling my truck & sending me to the chiropractor twice so far. If my truck had managed to get another 2 or 3 feet into the intersection, the dump truck would have hit my driver's side door instead of the front tire. Odds are, I would not have survived that crash. My insurance is finding me at fault, Toyota offered to run diagnostics on the truck after it was fixed. My truck was hit so hard, it busted the engine block, so it won't be fixed, it's considered totaled. So I'm ?!@#$% unless you folks can get something done!
