| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota avalon. He took the vehicle to the dealer march 1, 2010 for the accelerator replacement. Within ten minutes of picking the vehicle up from the dealer, while driving at 25mph and attempted to turn into a drive way the vehicle started to accelerate. He put his foot on the brake but the brake pedal was hard to depress and did not respond. He put the vehicle into neutral and shut the engine off. He was able to restart the vehicle and he drove it back to the dealer. The dealer stated it might be the computer because it was re-seated. He had not driven the vehicle since march 1st. The contact stated he is afraid he will experience the failure again. The dealer told him if he experienced the failure again he should put his right foot on the gas pedal and put his left foot on the brake. This will cause the gas supply to be cut off and will cause the engine to shut off. The failure mileage was 64,883 and the current mileage was 64,900. |
