| Description of the problem | I had multiple incidences of my car surging in my toyota avalon. I would put my foot on the brake but the car wouldn't stop but would surge forward. At first this didn't scare me and i got a little used to it actually so that i thought i could handle it. But it kept getting worse. I drove on the highway between iowa city and cedar rapids a lot. I would always use cruise control. I would say it happened to me 10-15 times on the highway between cedar rapids and iowa city. I remember coming very close to rear ending someone when i had to slow down to exit but the car wouldn't slow down. |
