| Description of the problem | After having my 2006 toyota avalon recall supposedly repaired a week later i was pulling up to my mailbox and applied my brakes, however i realized the car was still accelerating. In order to stop i put my car in neutral and turned the engine off. When i called the dealership to tell them they told me i hadn't had the complete recall done and i needed to bring it back in. They said i needed to have the floor mat as well as the brake override recall done. I tried to tell them the first time i took it in i was suppose to have the floor mat portion of the recall done but they told me my vin number was not on the list as needing it done. It was not the floor mat that caused the problem though because my floor mat was still attached to the hook and in place. My complaint is mainly because they didn't do the complete recall when i had it in the first time. I had my 9 year old granddaughter with me, if we had been at a busy intersection i could have been hit because my car went at least a half of car length beyond my mail box by the time i got it stopped. |
