| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2006 toyota avalon on 24 dec 2005. On a number of occasions when i come to a stop, no matter what the speed is the rpm will rev up to about 2000 rpm. I have a very hard time stopping the car. It is a very scary situation & dangerous position i am in. This does not happen every time i drive the car. My wife is afraid to drive it now. I took it to the dealer & they could not find anything wrong with the car. What are my options? *nm |
