“My dad's old Toyota Avalon used to unintentionally accelerate on the highway. This happened numerous times between the end of 2005 and 2007. I would say that by the end of 2007 it would happen every time I drove on the interstate!! When this first happened I would hit the brakes and usually after a few moments the car would decelerate (obviously crossing my fingers and praying at this moment) however this got progressively worse as time went on. I am extremely lucky I never hit anyone or crashed. I became scared to drive the car and it eventually fell apart anyway...”
NHTSA complaint #10563918, filed 2014-02“After going up a steep hill about 5 or 10 MPH the gas pedal went to the floorboard and vehicle just took off. Driver had to hit brakes real hard to stop vehicle, and was able to avoid a crash. On 7/22/97 vehicle experienced same problem. This time hitting a house. Dealer in not able to duplicate problem.”
