Avalon 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Problems with consumer getting locked in vehicle as well as brake problems. The problem had been present since the vehicle was purchased. The steering wheel would not turn, neither would the key turn the ignition. The brake problem remained unresolved. On another occasion the consumer tried to slow down to make a turn and the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably. The only way the vehicle wold stop, was to turn the key and the shut the motor off. The vehicle lost power when backing out of a parking space, the ignition problem was intermittent and the brake problem was intermittent.
