I believe the Toyota acceleration issue has to do with the cruise control. I believe the cruise control is being invoked by a software bug and also the accelerate function of the cruise control somehow gets activated. I was driving a Toyota Avalon using the adaptive cruise control. I decided to bump up my speed to I tapped "accel" a few times. Before I knew it the car was at 85 mph on the cruise control display. I do not think I was actually traveling 85 mph, though. I hit the brake and it cancelled the cruise control and the car slowed down.
The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Avalon. While traveling at 75 mph with the cruise control engaged, the contact noticed that the cruise control had deactivated. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The current and failure mileages were 16,000. Updated 7/20/10 the consumer stated when the cruise control stopped functioning, the vehicle slowed down.
