| Description of the problem | Last tuesday, dec 6th, 2016,i started my toyota avalon 2010 and got from a parking to higway pr 1, it suddenly accelerated out of control, i stepped on the brake pedal, shifted gear to lowest shift, stepped on the emergency break and only stopped when i did put it on pkg and turned it off. It took like 500 m to stop it. The floor carpet is one of the kind that keep secured to the car floor and didn't interferred with the gas pedal. . I bought it new in nov 2009. The gas pedal never look stuck but it sounded like the engine was being fed with a lot of gas. The car is at a toyota service shop since more than 48 hours but i still don't have a diagnosis. There was no colission. I got the car towed to the toyota service shop after reporting the incident to my insurance company. |
