| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota avalon. The transmission has a problem. When coasting down without accelerator being engage the transmission down shifts at 30 mph but the car speeds up. It is only 4-5 mph and after a few seconds then starts coasting down again. This problem has been investigated by the dealer and "there is nothing wrong". It has been reported to the toyota technical service manager and "there is nothing wrong". It has been reported to toyota customer service and we will get back to you but nothing happened. This car had the "stuck accelerator" problem two years ago and it was reported to the dealer and "no problem". The "stuck accelerator" only happened once and was not the problem of a floor mat. The car has had all the recalls performed on it but still has the speed up problem at each down shift. |
