NHTSA Complaint #10332064 — 2008 TOYOTA AVALON

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA AVALON. THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT "10308589". IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ON SUNDAY, MAY 16TH, 2010 I "FLOORED" THE ACCELERATOR AFTER TURNING INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR ON THE ROAD WAS GOING MUCH FASTER THAN I EXPECTED. THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK SO I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, HEARD AND SAW HIGH RPM ON THE TACK AND TURNED THE MOTOR OFF WITH THE KEY. I WRESTLED THE CAR INTO THE NEXT TURN-OFF (NO POWER STEERING). I LOOKED DOWN AND MY GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK ALL THE WAY DOWN BY THE FLOORMAT. THIS IS A FLOORMAT THAT I PUT IN FROM WALMART. IT IS MADE OF HEAVY RUBBER TO PROTECT MY NICE FLOORMATS. IT IS NOT LATCHED INTO THE FLOOR LIKE MY NICE FLOORMAT UNDERNEATH. THIS WAS MY FAULT, NOT TOYOTA. THAT FLOORMAT IS NOW IN THE TRUNK OF MY CAR. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED IN THIS CAR. IT WAS IN FOR RECALL REPAIR AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT. DRIVER BEWARE! THIS TOOL IS REQUIRING ME TO SELECT A MODEL NUMBER ON EQUIPMENT WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE SO I JUST SELECTED ONE AT RANDOM - THAT IS A FLAW IN THE REPORTING PROCESS. *TR
