MY 2010 TOYOTA RAV4 WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. THE CAR SLOWLY BEGAN ACCELERATING DESPITE NORMAL PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE BRAKES, AND THEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING LOUDLY AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE MORE QUICKLY. THE CAR ACCELERATED TO PERHAPS A FEW MILES AN HOUR INTO THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BY APPLYING HEAVY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AND ALSO APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV INCREASINGLY LOUDLY FOR SEVERAL MORE SECONDS (WITH OBVIOUS POWER THAT I COULD EASILY FEEL TRYING TO OVERCOME THE BRAKES I WAS APPLYING) UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. BEING IN A BUSY AND DANGEROUS INTERSECTION, I DECIDED TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE IT WITH EXTREME CAUTION TO A SAFE AREA TO PARK. WHEN RESTARTED, THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY AND PRESENTED NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE CAR'S AIR CONDITIONING AND SATELLITE RADIO WERE OPERATING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND SUNNY, AND THE ROADS WERE DRY. THE CAR DOES HAVE A RUBBER ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WHICH WAS SECURED BY HOOKS INSTALLED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE EDGE OF THE FLOOR MAT IS SEVERAL INCHES AWAY FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN IT IS FULLY DEPRESSED, AND THE MAT ITSELF WILL NOT PHYSICALLY MOVE OR SLIDE EVEN WHEN PURPOSEFULLY TRYING TO MOVE IT WITH FORCE. I'M ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT IT DID NOT MOVE OR OTHERWISE INTERFERE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I DROVE THE CAR WITH EXTREME CARE TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (AND EXPERIENCED NO FURTHER PROBLEMS), WHERE IT IS NOW BEING HELD FOR INSPECTION. THE CAR'S MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,200 MILES. IT WAS ALSO SERVICED BY TOYOTA SEVERAL MONTHS AGO IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL RELATING TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *TR

I FEEL THE DEALERS MOST HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND SOLD ME MY CAR ANYWAY. ON THE TOYOTA WEBSITE IT STATED IF YOU BOUGHT YOUR CAR WITHIN 5 DAYS OF THE RECALL THE DEALER WOULD TAKE IT BACK. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND REDIRECTED MY CALL TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHO TOLD ME THERE WASN'T A FIX YET AND I WAS TO WAIT TO BE NOTIFIED. I WANTED INFORMATION ON THE GENERAL MANAGER OR DISTRICT MANAGER AND WAS TOLD I COULD FIND IT ON THE WEBSITE. FROM THERE I DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO TALK TO. I HAVE BEEN SICK TO MY STOMACH EVER SINCE. TWO, I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECALL. I HAD TO CALL THE TOYOTA HOTLINE AND THEY ALSO SAID TO WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION.

AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00 PM ON JULY 19TH, 2010, OUR TOYOTA RAV 4 (MODEL YEAR 2010 MILEAGE 6450) EXPERIENCED AN INCIDENT OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. DRIVING HOME WITH 4 MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY, WE APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION AND THE DRIVER BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKE. THE ROADWAY WAS CROWDED, SO OUR SPEED WAS FORTUNATELY MINIMAL (APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH). WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO REV AT A HIGH RATE, THE DRIVER SAID THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING WELL TO THE BRAKE AND WE MAY NOT STOP IN TIME AS WE APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION. INSTINCTIVELY, I LOOKED AT THE DRIVER'S FOOT TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOME PROBLEM WITH HIM HITTING THE GAS PEDAL, BUT COULD CLEARLY SEE BOTH FEET AND ONLY THE BRAKE BEING APPLIED. THE DRIVER PUMPED THE BRAKE, LIFTING HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND REAPPLYING; WE JOLTED FORWARD HE LIFTED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE OF THE REVVING CAR AND THEN REAPPLIED THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SLOWED AND RETURNED TO A NORMAL IDLE AND WE WERE ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE. WE DID NOT FILE A POLICE REPORT, BUT CONTACTED THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND WERE INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION THE FOLLOWING DAY. NOT SURPRISINGLY, AS THEY APPEAR INCAPABLE OF DETECTING THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTICS, NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND WE WERE ASKED TO RECLAIM THE CAR A FEW DAYS LATER. WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE CONSIDER THIS LEASED CAR TO BE UNSAFE AND DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CAR AND WISHED TO RETURN IT AS IT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. 4 MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY WITNESSED THE EVENT AND NO ONE IS GETTING IN THE CAR AGAIN. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY ARE ONLY DEALER, THEY ARE NOT THE MANUFACTURERS AND WE HAD TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS REGARDING A RETURN TO THE MANUFACTURER, IN THEIR OPINION IT CHECKED OUT FINE. THE CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALER SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR, TO ADDRESS THE RAV 4 RECALL FOR THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEM. CLEARLY IN OUR CASE THEIR FIX DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE NEXT DAY, I WAS GOING TO A NEARBY GROCERY, PREPARING TO GET INTO A LEFT TURNING LANE, APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, AGAIN GOING DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE ON THE ROAD, MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WHEN I FELT THE ENGINE REV UP STRONGLY. I PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE, PUT THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL, LIFTED UP THE HAND BRAKE, AND A GOT OUT OF THE CAR FOR A WHILE HOPING TO SPOT A POLICE CAR OR HAVE SOMEONE ELSE COME AND WITNESS THIS TERRIBLE EVENT. SEEING NO ONE WILLING TO STOP, I GOT BACK IN THE CAR, AGAIN PRESSED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE RPMS REMAINED ABOVE 5000. AFTER WAITING ONE MORE MINUTE, THE SPEED OF THE ENGINE CAME DOWN TO NORMAL, I PICKED UP THE REQUIRED ITEMS AT THE GROCERY STORE, AND RETURNED TO MY HOME NEARBY.
