| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 toyota avalon, back on 4/18/09 i took my car in to south bay toyota to have them check out this problem-my car was hesitating b4 take off and it would excel faster. I was able to slow it down. But the result from toyota was: performed inspection could not confirm any abnormalities at this time. No pending malfunction codes stored in computer. No check engine light. Well i took my car back because it was one of the recall model for the pedal and they made the change ,but now it is worst now, it accelerates faster than b4. While waiting for at a signal some times i can hear it slightly raring up.(i then put it in park) and hold the brake pedal down all the way. I am totally afraid of this car. I tried to trade it in to the toyota dealer but for the suv i want it was to much, and they weren't working with me at all. |
