| Description of the problem | My son reported while driving on the highway he took his foot off the accelerator to begin braking, the car/engine continued to accelerate forcing him to apply full force to the brakes in order to slow the vehicle down. He also reported the car felt like it was "surging." he was finally able to slow the vehicle and exit the highway safely. The next day, we took the car to north hills toyota (pittsburgh) who reported they could not recreate the problem. No surprise! He is an experienced driver with a perfect driving record and was truly upset by what happened. He is also the sole driver of this vehicle, so he knows how the car drives, etc. By the way, we do not have floormats on the front driver side of the car due to the recent reports of accelerators being wedged in the floormat. |
