We've never had any problems with my wife's '08 Avalon, but the recall
letter said to bring it in anyhow. Dropped it off at Don Davis this
morning about 8:30AM and listened to the service rep explain what was to
be done. Clip a bit off the pedal bottom, increase the clearance under
the pedal, and install the new bar in the pedal assembly.

Got a shuttle lift back home while the work was being done. Had
breakfast, fixed a pot of coffee, read the paper, and watched the news a
bit. Got a phone call that the shuttle was on the way to my house to get
me. The shuttle arrived and I went back to the service bay. Signed some
papers and picked up the Avalon at about 11:30AM. (They'd also given it
a nice wash job and stapled a coupon for a free oil change on the
paperwork.) Beats the hell out of the foil warning label Ford sent me to
stick on my dashboard when my '69 Torino's transmission would jump out
of park.

Friend of mine has an 09 camry. She says when she lets off the gas
sometimes it keeps going at that speed. It doens't speed up, but keeps
going at that speed. She said she already had the recall work done.

All automatic transmission cars do that...at least, that is how it feels to
anyone used to driving a stick shift.
