NHTSA complaint #10573840, filed 2014-03, 72,763 miles“Unintended accelleration of my 2006 Toyota Avalon with only 25,000 miles on it. Feb 24, 2010. I wsa driving 35 MPH, having slowed for traffic, then changed lanes, barely touched the accelerator and the vehicle took off like a dragster. I was able to place in netural and brake the vehicle to a stop while the motor was at high end rev. I checked to see if the floor mats were obstructing the gas pedel. They were not. I turned off the vehicle and started it twice more, both times the engine was in extreme high rev mode. As I sat on the highway, the accelerator sprang back on it's own. …”
NHTSA complaint #10322140, filed 2010-03, 35,000 miles“While driving in town at about 25 MPH, the car will accelerate by itself to 30mph, even if the accelerator is released. Pushing down on the accelerator has no effect. The acceleration is brief and stops by itself. This has happened several times over the last few weeks. Cruise control not engaged. The car computer was re-flashed at the dealer year to address to address sensitive accelerator issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10593405, filed 2014-05, 89,800 miles“When accelerating from a stop the vehicle will sometimes move about 10 feet and then hesitate for about 1 to 2 seconds. It will then accelerate normally. When driving in heavy conditions at speeds under 35 the car hesistates badly when you try to accelerate and then jumps forward. Same thing happens on the downside to the point that it feels like its going to stall. The service advisor also said there had been other complaints about this condition. This condition is dangerous and not normal.”
