Service engine and many other trouble indicators at the same time. Trouble found for $80. 00 loose gas cap. Day's latter found gas cap strap missing. Return to dealer who said the strap is what cause the poor seal so the tech removed it (as this happens all the time). Ask to purchase a replacemt strap - not available. Purchased new gas cap which comes with strap (a 2 cent item) cost $25. 00. Total cost for a known problem $100. Toyota knows about the little problem for most or all of its vehicle and has done nothing to correct it. It is a money maker for the dealers who never suggest looking at you gas cap. They connect it to anylizer for $80. 00. Remove the strap and send you on your way. Shame shame shame.

I have a 2007 Toyota Avalon. This is in reference to a previous complaint "10308589". It happened again. On Sunday, may 16th, 2010 I "floored" the accelerator after turning into traffic because the car on the road was going much faster than I expected. The accelerator got stuck so I put it in neutral, heard and saw high rpm on the tack and turned the motor off with the key. I wrestled the car into the next turn-off (no power steering). I looked down and my gas pedal was stuck all the way down by the floormat. This is a floormat that I put in from walmart. It is made of heavy rubber to protect my nice floormats. It is not latched into the floor like my nice floormat underneath. This was my fault, not Toyota. That floormat is now in the trunk of my car. This is the third time uncontrolled acceleration has happened in this car. It was in for recall repair after the second incident. Driver beware! this tool is requiring me to select a model number on equipment which does not make sense so I just selected one at random - that is a flaw in the reporting process.

I have a 2007 Toyota Avalon. On Feb. 10, 2010 the gas pedal recall was fixed at the dealer. On March 9, 2010, the acceleration problem returned. The car went approximately 1/2 mile without my foot on the gas pedal. Turning into my driveway, the car accelerated on its own.

Car was fix for recall my totoyta avlon 2007 but now having acceleraton.

Unintended accelleration of my 2006 Toyota Avalon with only 25,000 miles on it. Feb 24, 2010. I wsa driving 35 mph, having slowed for traffic, then changed lanes, barely touched the accelerator and the vehicle took off like a dragster. I was able to place in netural and brake the vehicle to a stop while the motor was at high end rev. I checked to see if the floor mats were obstructing the gas pedel. They were not. I turned off the vehicle and started it twice more, both times the engine was in extreme high rev mode. As I sat on the highway, the accelerator "sprang" back on it's own. I then started the engine again and it was operating normally. I called Toyota immediately and was directed to a customer service rep in California. I eventually made it to a Toyota dealer in tulsa, ok, where the on board computer was "flashed" and pedel recall was performed. Service tech wrote up a floormat issue and stated the "service engine" light was reported by me to be on, which it was not. This should be verified by the incident report #1002144206 of 2-24-2010 as taken over the telephone by Toyota csr don lombardo; phone # 800-225-2769. I would bet my life this was not a mechanical related cause, but a programming issue which caused the throttle body to go wide open. I do not know if the computer "black box" information was downloaded by the dealer or if it is too late. When the dealership general manager was told by the service technician there was "zero" wear on the gas pedel joint, he was speechless, but eventually said Toyota needs the vehicle to go through it from bumper-to-bumper since it has such low mileage.

I received a mat recall letter from Toyota for my 2007 Avalon back in the fall. I still have not received a remedy notice to have it fixed at the local dealer. When I call the dealer, they bounce me to the Toyota 800 number. Why is it taking so long. I have to wonder if the cars at the Toyota plants and on dealers' lot are being repaired first. I also have not received a recall letter for the sticking gas pedal. What can I do to get faster action before an accident happens?.

We own a 2007 Toyota Avalon limited. We have received recall notices on the floor mats,accelerator pedal and an oil supply hose. All are to be corrected next week. This complaint is for the purpose of letting you know that neither the accelerator pedal nor the floor map is the cause of sudden acceleration. I say this because my wife drives with hand controls with a steel plate guarding and protecting the accelerator from being used by her. Therefore it is not these items causing the sudden acceleration. We have had it happen on 3 or 4 different occasions so it was not isolated nor were these recall items at fault. Please feel free to contact us for further info if needed. Thanks.

I have a 2006 Toyota Avalon xls and I had problems with sudden acceleration when stopped at a red light with my foot lightly on the break pedal, the engine is running, and the car is in gear (drive). All at once, the car would accelerate forward really fast but stop when I push hard on the break pedal. I was thinking that maybe my foot was slipping from the break and onto the accelerator pedal without me noticing it, however, in light of the recent publicity about the gas pedal problems with Toyotas, I am thinking that maybe my foot was not slipping and this piece of information may help in the fault isolation process. It doesn't happen all the time, I would say about once every few months. My reaction on the break pedal is fast and it does stop the car.

I believe that Toyota is covering up the real cause of the acceleration of the engine while driving. It happened to me while I was driving and was very frightening. The engine begin to speed up automatically and I could not stop it with my brakes. I put the car in neutral and then stopped. The engine continued to race. I took the car to the local Toyota dealer the next day and it did the same thing. It reached speeds of 70+mph without me touching the pedal. The Toyota dealership replaced the idle air control valve pn. 22270-0a060. I have not had a problem since. Toyota has tried to blame this problem in the media on the floor mats and now the accelerator pedal. I pray that no one else will suffer injuries or death. This problem can easily be fixed but it is costly (over $450. 00). Toyota seems to be looking for the cheap, easy fix.

I was driving my 2008 Toyota Avalon in traffic north of houston and floored it to get on an exit ramp in front of another car. When I took my foot off the accelerator the engine continued to run at high revs and I had to push hard on the brake to keep the car from continuing to accelerate while going up a steep ramp. After about 3 seconds the revs dropped and everything continued as normal. This happened on July 17, 2009. Then, in December of 2009 I was driving on a side street when a truck ran a stop sign and was going to hit me. I floored it to get out of the way and again the car continued to accelerate after I took my foot off the gas. I remembered hearing a report about the potential of floor mats causing the pedal to stick so I hit the brakes, put the car in neutral and reached down and pulled on the floor mat. The out of control acceleration again lasted about 3 to 4 seconds. I don't know if the floor mat was causing it to stick or not. I had a rubber mat on top of the mat that I bought with the car that hooks into the floor board. I don't think that mat ever interfered with the pedal. I looked at it closely and it does not seem possible. But I took it out anyway. I have a 2007 Toyota tundra crew cab and this has never happened to it but I have never floored that truck either. The car had about 20,000 miles on it when it happened the first time and about 24,000 the second time.

I was parking my car at work. I pulled into the parking space and backed up slightly to straighten my car. When I put the car into drive to pull forward again , the car raced forward with engine revving strongly. I could not stop the car with the brake. The car crashed and pushed through a thick brick wall. The airbags did not deploy. The car would only stop after I pushed the engine shutoff button. The gearshift was hard to move after the incident.

1999 Toyota Avalon. Unintended acceleration causing an accident. The consumer stated she was at a car wash which was nearing the end of the was on the conveyor belt with the vehicle in neutral gear as required. At the end of the wash cycle, the green light came on which was her signal to put the vehicle in drive and ease off the belt onto the lot. At the green light, the consumer put her foot on the brake to change the gear from neutral to drive. Once in drive gear, the vehicle suddenly and instantly accelerated at a tremendously high speed. The consumer stomped on the brakes continuously with no result. The vehicle crossed the east sidewalk and three empty southbound lanes. It then collided into the three northbound-lane cars; crossed the west sidewalk and crashed through a six foot commercial chain link fence; hit a parked pick up truck and crashed into a wall. The wall was the final object that stopped the vehicle which had maintained excessive speed. Prior to the accident, the consumer complained to the dealer about a strong smell of gas.

I had a frontal crash that the hood was pushed in about 1 foot and right head light was out. It was not that big of crash, the air bag was not deployed. I was able to drive the car for about 5 miles home. The car was parked in the garage to wait for the insurance company inspector to come for claim inspection. However after about 3 full days, the car ignited itself and burned the whole car. Of course, I am fortunate that I was not in the car when the fire started but it is quite unreliable for the car to just ignite by itself. Shouldn't there some kind of safty feature for a slightly crashed car to be safe from catching a fire or this safty feature simply malfunctioned???.
