Problems with 2006 Toyota Avalon VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 toyota avalon. while driving less than 5 mph to pull into an underground garage area, the accelerator pedal became stuck and failed to release. the brake pedal was applied with force, but the vehicle lunged forward and crashed into the garage door. upon impact, a yellow piece associated with the front passenger side air bag fractured. none of the air bags deployed. the driver sustained injuries to the head and neck and sustained bodily scratches and bruising, which did not require medical attention. the insurance company was notified of the failure and planned to investigate the cause of the air bag and acceleration failures. a dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 10v017000 (vehicle speed control) and 09v388000 (vehicle speed control). the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the vehicle was still at the contact's residence. the approximate failure mileage was 216,000.

While backing out of the driveway, in reverse, the car suddenly and without warning accelerated at a high rate on it's own without depression of the accelerator pedal. brakes were applied at full force during the acceleration with out effect. vehicle continued down the driveway, crossing over the street, then jumped the opposing curb, striking a stone wall.

When accelerating from a stop the vehicle will sometimes move about 10 feet and then hesitate for about 1 to 2 seconds. it will then accelerate normally. when driving in heavy conditions at speeds under 35 the car hesistates badly when you try to accelerate and then "jumps" forward. same thing happens on the downside to the point that it feels like its going to stall. the service advisor also said there had been other complaints about this condition. this condition is dangerous and not normal.

I had started driving and all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated. i applied brakes and had difficulty stopping it. i took the vehicle to a toyota dealership and they could not find the cause of the acceleration. they suggested to call toyota corporation and provided me with a 800 number. i told the rep of the problem and she informed me that the acceleration problem was resolved and new mats were issued to the customers. i acknowledged that the vehicle in 2010 was checked by toyota and issued mats. i have not had any problems after that time but in march 2014, the acceleration started again. she said the issue is resolved and settled. i am concerned whether the acceleration problem was not what toyota pinpointed and told us the problem was resolved. why is this problem occurring after 4 years? what steps can be taken to ensure safety in driving this vehicle? *tr

1. i was at a stoplight, foot firmly on the brake, doing nothing but waiting for the light to change. suddenly i realized my car was moving forward, so i pushed the brakes harder. the pedal went down further but the car kept moving forward. all of this took only a few seconds. then i heard and felt the engine accelerating very loudly. just at that moment the light changed, and traffic sped ahead. without thinking, i put my foot on the accelerator and the engine stopped roaring, the car accelerated normally and the brakes were responsive. 2. this was the only incident. 3. i was actually on my way to the toyota dealer for routine maintenance when the incident occurred, so i continued on my way. when i got to the dealer, i had the person who met me at my car check the floor mat before i walked away. he said it was fine. toyota performed all recall actions, asked if i wanted the computer re-programmed to allow the brakes to override everything else (i said yes), and filled out the forms and performed actions in accordance with an sua incident. they gave me a loaner and the next day told me that my car would be released. i asked for, and received a copy of the form for an sua incident, but it only has instructions for the technician and no written results, so i don't know what was found and what was done, other than normal recall work. i am filling this out because i no longer trust toyota, and now i am afraid. it only happened once, so i don't know if they fixed the problem, and i want to be part of the record of incidents. *tr

Has anyone ever considered the toyota vehicle speed control, vsc, system as a source of sudden acceleration? a code p1578 means brake system malfunction relating to the cruise control brake switch. if the brake switch develops an intermittent, stepping on the brake pedal will not cause the cruise to disengage. the driver will fight the cruise control with the brakes and think its a sudden acceleration. the toyota vsc system needs to be included in the protocol for their vehicle exams as well as independent forensic examiners. *tr

I have a 2006 toyota avalon. i took it in a few weeks ago to have the accelerator recall problem "fixed". today (3/14), i was traveling thru a shopping center parking lot at 10 to 12 mph. as i touched the brake, the car started to accelerate, grinding thru the brakes. i pushed it into neutral and jammed the brake. there was a very loud "thunk" and the car stopped and ceased trying to accelerate. *tr

S10 appropriate handling re toyota vehicle sudden acceleration problem, owner of a 2006 toyota avalon experienced acceleration problem. *tgw immediately after purchasing the vehicle, the consumer noticed a problem in accelerating, decelerating and shifting gears in the transmission. since the vehicle was still under warranty, he took the vehicle back to the dealer a few weeks later. the dealer informed the consumer there was no major problem and that a minor adjustment was made to the shifting points in the transmission. the vehicle functioned fine for a while, but then the same problems quickly resurfaced. a toyota representative stated the problem was not a defect; rather it was the way the vehicle was intended to handle due to its drive-by-wire system. the representative went on to say the drive-by-wire system did not have a traditional rod that connected the pedal to the engine; rather, the pedal went to an electronic system that sensed the intended acceleration and causes the engine to accelerate as directed by the driver. the consumer was told the hesitation he complained of was normal as the system was determining how much to accelerate. the consumer did not believe the sudden acceleration was due to a sticking pedal; rather a problem within the electronic transmission control module, throttle or onboard computer.*jb

Dear nhtsa, i own a 2006 toyota avalon xls, purchased used in summer 2009. a few days after ownership, i felt the car wanted to 'speed up on it's own', momentarily. i took it to our local toyota dealer (toyota of iowa city) who felt the problem might be due to 'gear shift set points' in the automatic transmission's computer programming. they reprogrammed the revolutions at which transmission would shift gears while driving. however, the surge problem persists. as time goes by and i read more about toyota's accelerator problems, i think this might be part of the same issue and so i would like to give you some detailed information on my observations. i have been studying it and made some careful observations about which conditions the surge occurs during, and would like to detail this for you. perhaps under these conditions you might even be able to reproduce my surge situation in other toyotas. the problem occurs when the engine is warm. in order to ensure that the transmission shifting is not the issue, put the transmission manually into '3'. drive on level road at about 30mph, the engine rpm's will typically be about 2000. then, release foot from gas pedal. the engine rpm's will drop to about 1000, then spontaneously surge upward to about 1500 rpm. at that point, something seems to limit the rpm's from increasing further. this cannot be the correct operation; when one is not stepping on the gas pedal, the engine should slowly revert back to idle speed (or be governed by 'engine braking effects' if going downhill)...correct? i think that in a situation where this spontaneous limitation of rpm surging might not occur, i could experience a 'wide-open-throttle' situation that everyone is talking about. please contact me for more details, i think my car might hold some secrets to the mysteries of the toyota throttle issue. this could potentially save lives. *rm *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 toyota avalon. the contact had the repair done on feb 17th for the recall on the accelerator pedal. the contact did not have a problem until the repair was done, which was the placement of a metal shim that was put under the accelerator pedal. on february 28 there was an unintended acceleration with the vehicle. the contact was parking the vehicle and while backing up the vehicle accelerated, he then shifted the vehicle into drive and it went forward and hit the vehicle in front of him. the contact then put the vehicle in neutral and turned the it off and it stopped. the vehicle did not stop revving up until it was turned off. no one was injured, there was only bumper damage. a police officer was there and he took a report. the vehicle was towed to the dealer and contact was told to file a claim,#1003101250. the failure mileage was 31,859.

After having my 2006 toyota avalon recall supposedly repaired a week later i was pulling up to my mailbox and applied my brakes, however i realized the car was still accelerating. in order to stop i put my car in neutral and turned the engine off. when i called the dealership to tell them they told me i hadn't had the complete recall done and i needed to bring it back in. they said i needed to have the floor mat as well as the brake override recall done. i tried to tell them the first time i took it in i was suppose to have the floor mat portion of the recall done but they told me my vin number was not on the list as needing it done. it was not the floor mat that caused the problem though because my floor mat was still attached to the hook and in place. my complaint is mainly because they didn't do the complete recall when i had it in the first time. i had my 9 year old granddaughter with me, if we had been at a busy intersection i could have been hit because my car went at least a half of car length beyond my mail box by the time i got it stopped. *tr

I own a 2006 toyota avalon. before the recalls there was only two occasions where my vehicle acceleration malfunctioned slightly. on thursday february 25, 2010 i had the recall repairs completed, and now my vehicle acceleration malfunctions every time i drive it. i almost hit another car moving up at a stop sign because my vehicle took off when i pressed slightly on the pedal. the brakes are now malfunctioning, where it doesn't stop upon pressing the brakes. *tr

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

The day after my car had 3 recalls corrected, i was driving around 20 mph when the car started to take off. i put the brake on real hard and got it stopped at about 35 mph. needless to say my passenger and i were scared to death. *tr

My car has had the unintended acceleration since i purchased it. i have taken my car in for the repair but my car is still accelerating. while driving car sped up but slowed itself back down to normal speed. this is how its been since purchase. i notice this last time that the speedometer does not reflect the change in speed so i don't know how many mph the car sped over my normal speed of 45mph. i have contacted maker but have not received a response as of today. i am thinking this could be the prelude to my car speeding up and not stopping. *tr

On 2/10/2010 i was driving my 2006 toyota avalon headed to work. i made a complete stop at a stop sign and proceeded to turn right doing about 5 mph.once i turned the corner my car accelerated and went up on the curb and hit a fire hydrant. i was the only person occupying the vehicle and i was not hurt.i have since then had the recalls fixed on my car by the dealer, but they failed to tell me if my accelarator pedal was defected!

When slowing my 2006 avalon for turn, speed bump, etc. and then accelerating there is often a lag in the transmission engaging and when it does the car lurches. i have complained many times to 2 different dealers about this since the car was new. after a year or so 1 dealer said that toyota had issued an adjustment procedure which they performed. the problem went away for a while but has returned. in light of the recent recalls and stories about possible electronic problems with these cars i wanted to add my story to the list. i consider this a serious safety issue since the lag in transmission engagement could cause an accident when making a left turn, especially if it worsens. further, the only way i know about this latest recall is through the news - toyota has not notified me directly. this makes the third recall on this car - floor mats, vvt-i oil hose and now accelerator! needles to say - i am not happy with my purchase and will seriously try to convince my wife to take our business elsewhere in the future! *cn *tr

The vehicle does not want to stop. while driving 1 block from an office to an intersection at a speed of less than 30 miles per hour i had to place both feet on brake pedal and mash the pedal to the floor to stop the vehicle at a stop light. mileage on the vehicle is 23,000 and i have told toyota this was occurring since i owned the vehicle. i have consistently had toyota check for problems and none are found. this happens about once every three months. the car is an automatic and this is the best way to describe what it feels like. if you were driving a manual transmission vehicle and were on a hill trying to maintain your position you would be engaging the clutch and the gas pedals, one would be fighting the other. that is what this feels like, the brake fights the gas pedal. *tr

I have a 2006 toyota avalon limited. on 2 occasions, while in cruise control, i attempted to uptick the stalk to increase speed one mph. the car accelerated rapidly well over one mph whereupon i canceled cruise control and everything became normal. *tr

Problems with 20006 toyota avalon: on numerous occasions, the car has accelerated spontaneously and the brakes have not stopped the car when the brake pedal was depressed. luckily, no accidents yet. recent problems with engine malfunction and vehicle stability control malfunction. toyota dealer denied any problems, except for "spark plugs" and oil line defect. dealer denied car was on recall list. complained that i was never notified about the mat, gas pedal or other recall. dealer denied that car was on recall list. dealer charged $1,100.00 (4 tires included) for work . ongoing problem since car was purchased: gas cap is difficult to replace after fill-up. check engine light comes on if cap is not "clicked" several times. car must be taken to dealer to be turned off. it will not go off even if gas cap is on properly. dealer charged $135.00 for each time. *tr

My 2006 toyota avalon has been giving me problems with the floor mats and accelerator getting stuck for over two years and now the accelerator gets stuck on its own. i am afraid to drive it back and forth on the highway and hope that toyota would replace it with a rental car until it can fix it. *tr

This administration should demand that toyota fix the pedal issue immediately. current owners should have the same fix as all new models with respect to this pedal issue. i took my car in for service and complained about this pedal issue about 2-3 years ago. i was told at that time by the technician that it was a fuel energy saving device. he made it sound that my car was safe. therefore, i think toyota's records are flawed as to the exact number of complaints consumers (current owners) have made to service departments. in addition i purchased an additional 7 year extended warranty with my car through a toyota dealer. toyota should be mandated by us gov to fix the issue for all current owners, regardless if car is under warranty. a total replacement is necessary immediately. i have always suspected that the pedal was not safe. i had many concerns about someone hitting me in the back end or me hitting someone else on my front end. toyota has known about this issue too long and they should immediately fix it!! *tr
