About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Avalon. The contact stated that the traction control device regulates the tires to maintain the same exact speed. When driving on a relatively small incline at 5 mph in inclement weather conditions, the traction control device slows down the speed of one tire to match the speed of the sliding tire. This abruptly decreases the overall speed of the vehicle. As a result, the risk of serious injury is increased. The dealer stated that some vehicles were built with an override system due to this failure. Unfortunately, the contact's vehicle was not built with the override mechanism. The failure mileage was 22,000.
