My 2008 Toyota Avalon gives me safety concerns. As soon as I remove the foot from the gas pedal, the car slows down quickly. It does not glide as other cars. I find this to be a serious safety defect in that it slows down quicker than other cars and I could be rear ended. It shifts itself to a lower gear. My Toyota dealer says there is no fix for it. This is not what I expected for a top of the line Avalon.
