“On march 19, 2008, my step-son was killed in tampa, florida while driving his 2007 Toyota Avalon. He had just dropped my sister-in-law off at the airport and was travelling on the courtney campbell parkway when the car accelerated. He exited onto a service road, posted at 15 MPH, at a high rate of speed, crashing through a guardrail and plunging into tampa bay. He did not get out of the vehicle. Witnesses say he did not appear to brake before hitting the guardrail. Nobody could determine at the time why the accident occurred; his toxicology report was clear. …”
NHTSA complaint #10322586, filed 2010-03, 24,500 miles“My car is a 2007 Avalon Toyota and when I first purchased it I had problems with the car accelerating, brought it into the dealer and no problem was ever found. This happened a minimum of 3 times. Then the car seemed to be ok, and it happened again about 1 year ago. I did not bring it to the dealer. The car has been running fine, but I have been watchful of it. And iwas told just to put it in neutral and turn off the motor. But it did not happen again. While in florida this past winter I did have my car serviced for all 3 recalls with much hesitation since, as I said, the car seemed to be ok. …”
NHTSA complaint #10326594, filed 2010-04, 37,000 miles“On aug. 6th while driving on a two lane road in south carolina in my 2007 Avalon, the accelerator became stuck. My car reached speeds of up to 80 MPH. I could only reduce the speed to 60 MPH by riding the brakes. I finally stopped the car by finding a safe pull-off and shifted into neutral and then park. My brakes were completely ruined and required replacement. My car was towed to a Toyota dealer in greenville, sc. The service department determined that the faulty acceleration was due to a rubber all-weather mat. The mat had been placed over the standard floor mat. …”
