| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota avalon - i had no problem with my avalon until the local toyota dealership installed the recalls. Upon departing the dealership, after completion of the recalls, i found my avalon would not drive below 55 mph (engine rpm would not go below 1800 rpm) as if the cruise control was on but it was not! I returned to the dealership and the service manager was able to duplicate the problem. The dealership kept the avalon over night and the next day was unable to duplicate the problem! Toyota engineering indicated, to me, that they thought this was a computer issue with the computer learning my driving habits, sounds strange to me! The newly installed brake override did work properly. Toyota returned the avalon to me but i am only using it when i have to as my family does not want to ride in it. |
