| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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. i feel that avalon owners nationwide need to be notified of this dangerous problem. i noted in my local newspaper last week that you are investigating the same problem in the lexus es 350 which has the same design as the avalon. *tr updated 03/04/10 *bf updated 05/06/10.*jb |
