Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is a follow up on the incidents reported under 10142940. when starting to slowly proceed forward behind heavy traffic at a stop light the vehicle suddenly surged forward. i placed transmission in neutral and engine rev's to ~7000 rpm before i could shut it off. tried restarting the engine about 6 times with it immediately going to ~7000 rpm. on about the 7th try the engine started normally and ran normally until i reached home (about 4 miles). called dealership again and they did not particularly want to see vehicle as i could not report any check engine light coming on. i insisted on an appointment and was put off until next week. they claimed they have never heard of this problem with toyota avalons and camry's except for my vehicle. called the dealer/zone customer relations and placed complaint but they also do not know what to do except call toyota engineering. *nm see also voq 10142940. *dsy
