ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM THE ON RAMP AND WITH PLENTY OF TIME UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS MY TOYOTA AVALON, UPON ACCELERATION THE ENGINE ACTUALLY CUT OUT I MEAN WITH A SERIOUS HESITATION THAT I COULD NOT RESPOND TO IN TIME. THE AUTO QUICKLY APPROACHING MY REAR VEERED INTO THE NEXT LANE CAUSING THE THIRD CAR TO RUN OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THIS IS INDEED A HIGHLY SAFETY PROBLEM. I ESCAPED WITHOUT A SCRATCH TO MYSELF OR CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT NOT TO THIS EXTENT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THOMPSONS TOYOTA IN PLACERVILLE CA 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND EACH TIME THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATION. I HAVE ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOW BUT THE PROBLEM SURFACED LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS I NEED THE CAR AND I MUST DRIVE THIS SAFETY AFFECTED PRODUCT. THE CAR IS OK AFTER YOU GET TO 60 MPH. ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP POSITION A 4 CYL. COROLLA AND HONDA CAN PERFORM BETTER, IN FACT I HAVE A TACOMA TOYOTA 4 CYL 1999 WITH 100,000 MILE THAT ALSO ACCELERATES BETTER THAN MY AVALON. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN 2006 MY WIFE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN OUR 2003 TOYOTA AVALON. THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING GARAGE, AS SHE WAS SLOWLY EASING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SPEEDED UP AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL OF THE PARKING GARAGE, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. SHE CLAIMED SHE DID NOT HAVE HER FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT ON THE BRAKE. AFTER HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED BY A COLLISION BUSINESS, THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, BUT THIS TIME A CONCRETE PARKING STRIP STOPPED HER AFTER SHE MOVED IT ABOUT THREE FEET. HER FRIEND THAT WAS WITH HER WAS REALLY SCARED. *TR
