Description of the problem	The engine surged in my 2006 toyota avalon beginning just after purchase (when i thought i must have done something the first few times). This has continued sporadically --the last time was in early december, 2009--about ten times. I have reacted counter-intuitively, tapping the gas pedal lightly, and the engine settles down. Because i have put 89,000 miles on the car driving from san francisco to la each week, i have practiced putting the car in neutral as a first response if my lightly tapping the pedal does not work. The surge has felt as if there is a gremlin in the works of the car pushing the engine. I doubt if this is connected, but my emergency brake sets itself periodically--and i now know if the car is running a bit oddly that i need to check to see if the brake has set itself again. (about 30-40 times since i have owned the car) but the dealers have reacted quizzically. One of my sons has been adamant that i get rid of the car, but i am convinced that if it began to go out of control, by shifting into neutral and then turning off the car if need be should things should remain controlled. I am not near the car or the vin information but would be happy to provide this at a later date.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
