| Description of the problem | Sudden acceleration incident. My 2007 toyota avalon had all recall work done in march 2010. The car has around 20,000 miles on it. On 9/5/2010 i was pulling into a parking space with my foot on the brake pedal when the car suddenly accelerated into the curb. I was pressing as hard as possible on the brake, but the car would not stop until i hit the curb and put the gear in park. In the past, i have had problems with the transmission "hanging" when turning into an alley or up a garage ramp, but this is the first instance of sudden acceleration i've had. |
