“1. On three occasions the accelerator pedal was jammed open by factory cloth floor mat. Removed the mat. 2.

Car seems as if the wheels are chocked. Then when car does move it accelerate quickly in reverse. …”
NHTSA complaint #10298556, filed 2010-01, 10,000 miles“My 2010 Toyota Avalon limited sometimes stalls at 20 MPH or when turning left, or switching lanes. It is as though it pauses, but doesn't die. It only happens maybe once or twice a week, but the Toyota dealer has not been able to find a problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10544159, filed 2013-09, 1,000 miles“Our 2010 Toyota Avalon limited with 126537 total miles as of 07/09/2026, sits in our garage all the time except when it somewhere. The problem is the dash is cracking everywhere. I can understand if it was parked outside all the time. But sitting in the garage. We keep it clean and even the headlight covers are still crystal clear with no fading. Even the seats have no cuts, splits or cracks after 16 years. There is no reason for the dash to have cracks all over.”
NHTSA complaint #11749357, filed 2026-07“Dashboard has been cracking non stop and it keeps on getting worse and worse the whole passenger side dash. Plus its always parked in a parking garage.”
NHTSA complaint #11307575, filed 2020-02“2010 Toyota Avalon. Consumer writes to express that she has been unable to satisfactorily resolve this complaint with the dealership regarding a good faith effort to return vehicle. The consumer stated the salesman told her on more than one occasion the vehicle did not have an acceleration problem. The dealer stated they did not know the vehicle had a problem when the consumer purchased the vehicle. The consumer stated her issue was with the dealer mis-representing the facts about the vehicle.
