| Description of the problem | Repetitive... Every time i drive............................. Toyota avalon 2007... I complained to toyota that when i remove my foot from the accelerator / gas pedal to coast to a stop, the car in fact accelerates at almost each shift point, thus forcing me to apply the brakes repetitively. This may cause premature brake wear. Toyota says this "acceleration at every shift point" is normal despite the fact that in hundreds of thousands of miles and in hundreds of cars owned and rented, i have never experienced this behavior in any vehicle. Yes, no doubt a software/programmer controlled micro-processor. |
