| Description of the problem | Unintended acceleration of 2006 toyota avalon and headlight went off during the emergency stop (note: the toyota avalon has not gone through the recall repair but recall repair has been scheduled) i was driving on 101s near mountain view during evening commute hour. I was tapping the gas pedal as 101s was in stop-and-go traffic condition. I felt the avalon went faster than i was expecting and i did not depress the gas pedal more than light tapping. The avalon was at 40mph. I applied the brake to slow down the car immediately. I managed to stop my car in time to avoid a collision with a fully stopped vehicle in front of me. I noticed my auto headlight was off when i was in complete stop. I quickly turned the headlight switch from auto position to on and the headlight did not go on. I turned the switch to off position and on position. Then, the light came back on. |
