This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
After about 5 years, my 2000 Toyota Avalon began to experience occasional continued acceleration ("sticking of gas mechanism") when I removed my foot from the gas pedal. Being a 230 lb male, I was able to overcome this occurrence at signal lights or stop signs by applying extreme force on the brake pedal. I've lived with it, but know for certain it is a defect. This happens 3-4 times a year. This is not a "me too" complaint. I suspect this "sticking" acceleration problem is much bigger than reported as many drivers (like me) don't bother.
