Avalon V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles

The engine idles fast, so fast, stopped on level ground the car moves forward unless brake pedal is pressed. Service dept. at Toyota dealership says auto is designed to idle at this rpm. Seems dangerous to me.

My wife was sitting in Avalon with engine running in drive way of home, reading mail, forgot engine running (very quiet), car rolled forward into side of house, Drive way is slightly up hill. Damaging front bumper (cost me several hundred dollars to repair).
