“My 2006 Toyota Avalon has been giving me problems with the floor mats and accelerator getting stuck for over two years and now the accelerator gets stuck on its own. I am afraid to drive it back and forth on the highway and hope that Toyota would replace it with a rental car until it can fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10303121, filed 2010-01, 165,342 miles“The day after my car had 3 recalls corrected, I was driving around 20 MPH when the car started to take off. I put the brake on real hard and got it stopped at about 35 MPH. Needless to say my passenger and I were scared to death.”

She was also involved in a crash in my garage when the floor mat got stuck on the accelerator and cause her to run into the wall of the garage. I also have experienced several instances of acceleration after taking my foot off the gas pedal when attempting to brake which caused me to have to slam on the brakes to stop the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10311160, filed 2010-02, 31,000 miles“This is not a complaint, but a follow up to complaints regarding the Toyota automobile that their throttle sticks open causing unwanted acceleration. March 2006 I bought a new Toyota Avalon xls from david bruce, bourbonnais, il. About six months following this purchase, I was pulling away from a red light accelerating rather quickly. When I let up on the accelerator, the car continued to accelerate. While applying the brake with the left foot, I put my right foot under the accelerator petal in an effort to raise it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10292075, filed 2009-11, 5,000 miles“I own a 2006 Toyota Avalon. Before the recalls there was only two occasions where my vehicle acceleration malfunctioned slightly. On thursday february 25, 2010 I had the recall repairs completed, and now my vehicle acceleration malfunctions every time I drive it. I almost hit another car moving up at a stop sign because my vehicle took off when I pressed slightly on the pedal. The brakes are now malfunctioning, where it doesn't stop upon pressing the brakes.”
