I could not start my vehicle on 7/26/2018. I called road side assistance and got a jump start from a power device. I was driving towards toyota service. Suddenly my vehicle stopped on the middle of the road. It was completely disabled: no power stirring, not even alarm signal working. If this happened on a highway, more likely, i would not be alive today. Same driver who would hit me from behind, because disabled…

At first 3 warning lights were on where i was driving at speed around 10mph: check, 4wd, trac off.

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…

I was slowly maneuvering into a parking space when the car revved up, jumped over the concrete barrier, over the curb and sidewalk. I was headed directly toward a building and a large plate glass window. The brakes did not stop the car, and felt squishy when i pushed them all the way to the floor. I swerved to the right, turned off the key and hit a parked car in order to stop. I also want to mention that the tire…

I was driving westbound on i-70 around mp 129. This is just before glenwood canyon. There was a flashing icy road sign at which time, i signaled my intention to move to the right lane which i did. I slowed down and put my car in 3rd. This was just before a curve to the right where the road and visibility narrow. The right lane was completely iced over as i realized when i got around the curve. In front of me, i saw…
