UPON CHECKING WITH A AVALON FAN GROUP, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A ISSUE WITH ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO OWNS THIS BODY STYLE. *TR

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.

I FEEL THEY ARE USING SUBPAR PARTS AND LOOKING TO CUT COST AT THE EXPENSE OF SAFETY. WE KNOW MR. TOYODA IS A LIAR AND PAID A FINE FOR LYING TO CONGRESS.
