UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF 2006 TOYOTA AVALON AND HEADLIGHT WENT OFF DURING THE EMERGENCY STOP (NOTE: THE TOYOTA AVALON HAS NOT GONE THROUGH THE RECALL REPAIR BUT RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN SCHEDULED) I WAS DRIVING ON 101S NEAR MOUNTAIN VIEW DURING EVENING COMMUTE HOUR. I WAS TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL AS 101S WAS IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC CONDITION. I FELT THE AVALON WENT FASTER THAN I WAS EXPECTING AND I DID NOT DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL MORE THAN LIGHT TAPPING. THE AVALON WAS AT 40MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. I MANAGED TO STOP MY CAR IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH A FULLY STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICED MY AUTO HEADLIGHT WAS OFF WHEN I WAS IN COMPLETE STOP. I QUICKLY TURNED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FROM AUTO POSITION TO ON AND THE HEADLIGHT DID NOT GO ON. I TURNED THE SWITCH TO OFF POSITION AND ON POSITION. THEN, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. *TR
