2009Jan 04

Solara LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

I parked my Toyota Solara Convertible in front of my apt. complex, put it in park, engined surged forward, car jumped the curb and I could not stop it. I crashed into my apt complex, taking out the water pipes also for 16 units. I used the emergency brakes also and it did not stop until I hit the building. Kids and I flew out of the car as we thought the car was on fire as it filled up with white smoke. After everything was stopped, and cleared ,a gentleman who called the fire dept. came over and mentioned to me that while the doors were open he looked inside and mention to me that the car was in park......I told him I put it in park before it surged.
So, now I wait to do do with the apt complex and my insurance!!!!
