Description of the problem	Purchased 2009 avalon in feb. 2009. About 3 weeks after purchase, i was pulling out of a parking lot into on coming traffic. After braking, the car started moving forward under its own power. It was not just rolling forward, there was power. Luckily no car was close. I proceeded on hoping this was a one time incident. A few weeks later it happened again. This time, i had braked to yield to a car in a parking lot. The brakes stopped the car initially, then car started moving forward again. I had to accelerate to avoid a collision. The same situation happened to my brother while driving one day. It happened to my husband at a light. By now i am feeling apprehensive when i drive the car. A few weeks went by without incident. Then one day i was in the drive through lane at the bank. I was the third car back. I brakes, the car stopped. I reached for my purse when i felt the car begin to move forward. This is with power. It almost feels like the transmission has kicked in. I started pumping the brakes to no avail. I hit the car in front of me. Insurance paid my deductible was $500. I took the car to the dealer where i purchased the car. They say they cannot the car to duplicate the problem with the mechanic in the car. So no problem exist. We were told the vehicle was operating to the manufacturer's specifications and no repairs were made. A few day later the same thing happened while my husband was driving. No crash this time. In all there have been 8 incidents. The dealer will not help. We had a mechanic keep the car and drive it for a week. He could not get the car to do this. He guesses the problem has to do with the anti lock brakes. Toyota just says nothing is wrong. My husband called toyota. They suggested we take it to another toyota dealer to be checked out. Same as before. If does not happen to them, then nothing is wrong. I have discontinued driving car. I paid $36,000 for this vehicle and it is unsafe to drive.
