 Description of the problemOn jan. 26,2010, i was stopped behind cars at a traffic light. My 2010 toyota highlander started creeping forward/i thought i'd taken my foot off the brake, and then the engine started revving to an outrageous level. The harder i braked the more the engine revvedand the car tried to jump forward. It was so loud the driver ahead of me turned around to see what was going on behind him. I thought i was going to rear-end him until i remembered to put the car in neutral. Eventually the engine returned to its normal rpms, but i was really shaken. I drove about 1 mile to my destination and called toyota and had the car towed to their service area. They checked the car and after 24 hrs. Told me they couldn't find anything and my car was made in japan so it wasn't under the recall. I don't feel safe in this vehicle and i don't feel toyota really knows or is revealing all the problems they are having. My problem occurred when i was at a standstill at a traffic light, so i don't believe the stuck accelerator story. What can i do to get some satisfaction? At this point the problem has only occurred once, but i've lost all confidence in my new vehicle... Less than 4000 miles on it!
