“My 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is having engine revving problems. While operating at normal speed (45-50). The RPM's suddenly increase to high levels without an increase in speed. Lack of control is evident. If you switch to manual mode with the gear selector you can force it out of play...but the revving can occur soon thereafter or it will not occur again a different day. I took the car into be serviced and told the service manager about the revving problem. He seemed to be very doubtful of the description and told me they could download the engine history. They reported no problem found . …”
