I did not have a accident. but i have had this car for only 15 months and i've had to take this car in for the same defect several times and many times over and over again especially the last 3 months. i've had it with this car and i can't deal with this any more. and toyota of escondido where we bought the car can't seem to get it right or give us another car. *tr
