Avalon

  • 37,000 miles
My car is a 2007 Avalon Toyota and when I first purchased it I had problems with the car accelerating, brought it into the dealer and no problem was ever found. This happened a minimum of 3 times. Then the car seemed to be ok, and it happened again about 1 year ago. I did not bring it to the dealer. The car has been running fine, but I have been watchful of it. And iwas told just to put it in neutral and turn off the motor. But it did not happen again. While in Florida this past winter I did have my car serviced for all 3 recalls with much hesitation since, as I said, the car seemed to be ok. It has been approx. 3 weeks since I had all the recall work done and while driving home from fla. I went into a gas station to put air in my tires and then all [xxx] broke loose. I was driving slow looking for the air pump and the carwent crazy accelerating. I yelled, put my foot on the brakes and turned off the motor. It had nothing to do with the floor mat, pedal etc. Nothing was noticeable stuck. I love this car, but there is a devil inside the motor. Since the recall did not take care of the problem what should I do? information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
