| Description of the problem | After passing a car and speeding up from 90km per hour to 120 km i took my foot off the brake. The car continued on it's own, 120,130, 140 and topping out at 155km where at this time i had one foot on the brake and could only slow the car to 120, with both feet on the brake ( literally "standing" on the brakes) the car slowed from 120 to about 30 whereupon mu wife shut the car off. The tires were pouring smoke out of them and it took us about a mile to stop the car. It is a 2009 toyota avalon brand new. Have you had any other uncontrolled acceleration problems reported? |
