Description of the problem | On several occasions, i have experienced a problem with my 2008 toyota avalon's accelerator pedal being hard to depress and seemed stuck in some partially depressed position. Until the national press on this issue, i thought it was just me experiencing the problem. I had no idea that this was a problem that had lead to the death of people and that toyota knew this problem existed. When it was mentioned to my local toyota dealership service department, i was told it was probably my floor mat causing the problem so i removed the mat; however, i still experienced the problem a few times later. I was beginning to think it was some malfunction in my particular car and did not know how dangerous it was. At this point, nothing has been done to correct this problem. I am awaiting a return phone call from my local toyota dealership. |
