| Description of the problem | Toyota avalon 2005. Although i have not experienced a sudden power surge or runaway car, i do believe there is a link between the accelerator and the electronics. Ever since i have owned the car, brand new, in the twilight hours of driving, the dashboard panel lights will dim and go bright when i step on or let off the gas pedal. I reported this to toyota when i first bought the car, but because it didn't react when the supervisor was in the car with me he couldn't report it or say what the problem was. |
