Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving north on I-95, my car began to slow down even though I had not released pressure on the gas peddle, so I accelerated. As soon as I accelerated, the car then began to run extremely rough, the RPM monitor fluctuated back and forth, and the began to slow down even more. I looked in the rear view mirror to check traffic as I prepared to pull off the interstate and saw smoke coming from the rear of the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10762028, filed 2015-09, 149,000 miles“I have a 2007 Toyota Avalon. On feb. 10, 2010 the gas pedal recall was fixed at the dealer. On march 9, 2010, the acceleration problem returned. The car went approximately 1/2 mile without my foot on the gas pedal. Turning into my driveway, the car accelerated on its own.”
NHTSA complaint #10318409, filed 2010-03, 47,500 miles“I received a mat recall letter from Toyota for my 2007 Avalon back in the fall. I still have not received a remedy notice to have it fixed at the local dealer. When I call the dealer, they bounce me to the Toyota 800 number. Why is it taking so long. I have to wonder if the cars at the Toyota plants and on dealers' lot are being repaired first. I also have not received a recall letter for the sticking gas pedal. What can I do to get faster action before an accident happens?”
NHTSA complaint #10307178, filed 2010-02, 30,000 miles“We own a 2007 Toyota Avalon limited. We have received recall notices on the floor mats,accelerator pedal and an oil supply hose. All are to be corrected next week. This complaint is for the purpose of letting you know that neither the accelerator pedal nor the floor map is the cause of sudden acceleration. I say this because my wife drives with hand controls with a steel plate guarding and protecting the accelerator from being used by her. Therefore it is not these items causing the sudden acceleration. …”
NHTSA complaint #10316777, filed 2010-03, 25,000 miles“I purchased a 007 Toyota Avalon limited in 11/2006 before a month passed I had to take it to the local dealership in visalia, ca. I told the shop manager the footpedal had gotten stuck and the car was wide open, I stomped on the gas pedal and it wouldn't come up, then I reached down and grabbed it and pulled it up, I told the shop manager if I had been in traffic or town there would have been injuries or death and this was a serious problem, they checked it out and told me I didn't know how to drive the car and it was ok. …”
