2006 Toyota Avalon. Consumer states unintended acceleration the consumer stated while stopped at a light with his foot on the brake, the engine suddenly revved up and the vehicle accelerated half way into the intersection. He kept his foot on the brake as hard as possible. He was able to put the gear in park and shut off the engine. When the light turned green, he restarted the engine with no problems. The vehicle was taken to the dealer the next day where the they performed a modification to the brake master cylinder.
: the contact stated the brake indicator light illuminated. The following day while driving 55mph the brake pedal vibrated and traveled to the floor. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. Upon inspection the dealer determined there was no brake fluid in the reservoir. The defective seals allowed brake fluid to drain from the brake booster and into the master cylinder. The dealer replaced the reservoir, brake booster and master cylinder.
