| Description of the problem | Sudden acceleration. When first starting the engine, it revved up to about 2,500 rpms. A second episode occurred a few days later when i was driving downhill and my foot was on the brake. The vehicle suddenly accelerated to about 40 mph. At no time was my foot on the accelerator pedal in either situation. In both of these instances, the sudden acceleration resolved within a few seconds. These incidents occurred after safety recall work was performed by toyota on march 6, 2010. At this time, these are the only occasions where i experienced problems of this nature. I am concerned for the safety of my passengers and myself. I am in the process of reporting these problems to the dealership. |
