| Description of the problem | The pre-collision system activated without anything in front of the avalon while driving up an airport ramp. My daughter was travelling about 25 mph and the car initiated a hard braking with the driver seat belt tightening. The car did not stop completely which was fortunate as there was a car behind me. It happened on 10/1/15. In reviewing potential recalls today based on my vin, i noted a recall for the pre-collision system. I am scheduled 12/3/15 to have the system shut down at the local toyota dealership as an interim remedy. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
