| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We had a driving instructor conducting a class using the 2007 avalon. the instructor was driving and accelerated to pass a vehicle at approximately 35 mph and the accelerators stuck and the car reached 8000+ rpms the instructor had to engage the brake and put the car in neutral and the car would not turn off, using the push button start. it finally turned off after numerous tries on the push button. once the motor turned off the accelerator then came up slowly by its self. we called the dealership, and were told it must have been the floor mats. there were three people in this car and they all saw the same thing. the floor mats had nothing to do with this problem. we had the dealer go over the car and again were told there was nothing wrong. we however do not believe their findings. *ak |
