| Description of the problem | While en route from san juan to ponce, pr, i decided to use the cruise control on my toyota avalon 2005. It worked very well, until i decided to use the resume speed option of the cruise control. As soon as the resume movement was activated, the car accelerated suddenly and lunged forward at an unbelievable rate of speed that scared us, and i had to depress the brake pedal to disengage the resume option. This occurred twice and then i opted for not using the cruise control at all. Recently my car was serviced at furiel toyota dealer here in ponce, where the recall requirements for the accelerator and oil hose were completed. |
