LAST TUESDAY, DEC 6TH, 2016,I STARTED MY TOYOTA AVALON 2010 AND GOT FROM A PARKING TO HIGWAY PR 1, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, SHIFTED GEAR TO LOWEST SHIFT, STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND ONLY STOPPED WHEN I DID PUT IT ON PKG AND TURNED IT OFF. IT TOOK LIKE 500 M TO STOP IT. THE FLOOR CARPET IS ONE OF THE KIND THAT KEEP SECURED TO THE CAR FLOOR AND DIDN'T INTERFERRED WITH THE GAS PEDAL. . I BOUGHT IT NEW IN NOV 2009. THE GAS PEDAL NEVER LOOK STUCK BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS BEING FED WITH A LOT OF GAS. THE CAR IS AT A TOYOTA SERVICE SHOP SINCE MORE THAN 48 HOURS BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE A DIAGNOSIS. THERE WAS NO COLISSION. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE SHOP AFTER REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY.

2010 Toyota Avalon [XXX] purchased used. Sticker on driver’s door post states 32PSI for all tires. Low tire pressure light activated, XXX Toyota dealer ordered 5 new tire sensors and installed them XXX. Light reactivated in fall, I put 32 PSI in all tires, light stayed on. I used Costco air service to put 32PSI in all tires light stayed on. I took to dealer; they said gauges must be wrong and light odd when returned vehicle to me. I sent letter with photos to the service manager and received no response. In May 2026 light again came on, I checked the pressure with new gauge and 3 tires at 36PSI and one at 33 PSI.

OUR 2010 TOYOTA AVALON LIMITED WITH 126537 TOTAL MILES AS OF 07/09/2026, SITS IN OUR GARAGE ALL THE TIME EXCEPT WHEN IT SOMEWHERE. THE PROBLEM IS THE DASH IS CRACKING EVERYWHERE. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF IT WAS PARKED OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME. BUT SITTING IN THE GARAGE. WE KEEP IT CLEAN AND EVEN THE HEADLIGHT COVERS ARE STILL CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH NO FADING. EVEN THE SEATS HAVE NO CUTS, SPLITS OR CRACKS AFTER 16 YEARS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE DASH TO HAVE CRACKS ALL OVER.
