Thanks for the info! Actually, I believe the ES300 & Avalon have identical powertrains. I called the corporate office yesterday & they (not surprisingly) had no applicable bulletins. I'm going to have the dealer check it out anyway.

Yes, automatic with cruise.

We own a 2000 XL with 40,500 miles. Yesterday my wife was pulling into a parking space when the car unexpectedly accelerated forward & hit a snowbank causing front end damage but fortunately no injury. She has been driving 30 years without incident & doesn't know how this occurred. The obvious explanations are driver error or mechanical malfunction. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Thank you!
