    Sometime after this whole unintended acceleration thing came down on toyota I realized an accident I had in 2003 may have been caused by something that has been described. While in my 1994 Toyota Corolla DX wagon I stopped at a traffic light to wait for traffic so I could turn left. Witnesses described my actions...I could not remember because of the impact. I began to turn left, paused and then went ahead. I turned directly in front of a red blazer and a grey infinity and was broadsided by both of them. My driving record shows that I dont take unnecessary risks or drive carelessly. I think I have had a PTSD type recollection of the accelerator being stuck and during the confusion, when I lessened pressure on the brake pedal as the traffic light turned green I shot into the intersection.
    I guess I am looking for some validation...that maybe there was more to the accident then me making a mistake that morning, and causing 3 vehicles heavy damaage.
