TOYOTA COROLLA X ( Crash investigation)

[Einstein]

with factory setup of vaccum pipes intact & throttle sensor correctly trimmed vehicle will not move at under 1000 rpm. my 22 years old old school auto trans corolla with aircon engaged does not need brake pedal depressed all the time at stop light. it moves at touch of throttle i.e 1100 RPMs. I'd seriously recommend your friends to contact Traffic Police & RTA for forensic of destroyed vehicle.

Yes this needs to be investigated and it might end up being the same famous throttle issue of toyota which forced them to recall so many cars.

007 is here...

Well here is my opinion:
Tell your uncle to contact the security guys of that mall and get video recordings of the parking lot.
My hunch is that someone tempered with the car in the parking lot in an attempt to kill your uncle and his family
Or the car had already been tampered at his garage
Did your uncle get the car serviced from any mechanic after the Dubai motor inspection, if yes then that mechanic may be the culprit.
But in the end i would say that there are many possibilities and the car's computer might have malfunctioned due to which brakes were disabled and rpm's suddenly increased.
Get the ECU checked

any rain or wet surface at that time ?
I suspect ABS didn't work properly ,normal brakes works if ABS fails
but a malfunction ABS can cause such a accident specially on wet or slippery road

i was divining a 2008 Dodge Van (normally a very safe and reliable family Van) in USA
the road surface was wet because of the light morning snow
in our town there is a street with a medium steep of just few yards immediately followed by a
stop sign.while going down i applied breaks and instead of stopping my van start shacking (some
Girr girr noise from brakes) and van crossed stop sign with speed .thanks it didn't hit any school kids ,people
or other cars ..i checked my ABS by mechanic later on and ABS was working properly
i can only guess "on rare occasions vehicles with ABS can malfunction or on steep roads can do this"
i am saying this because i tested my van brakes on even surface immediately after accident and
van brakes were working .
may be your uncle had a same type of accident
