| Description of the problem | I have a toyota 2005 rav 4 - 6 cyl. I am experiencing a problem not associated with the toyota recalls, according to toyota. Twice while the vehicle was in drive and i have my foot on the brake, and the vehicle is stopped, after the vehicle idles down from moving, the engine revs up again. The gas pedal was not touched and the floor mat is not in the way. The engine revving up is scary enough that someone outside of my car thought i was spinning my wheels in the snow and ice, and i was not moving. I took it in to a dealer and they hooked it up to their computer and found no problem. Of course when they drove it, they could not replicate the problem. They recommended that if it happens again that i immediately have it towed back to the dealer. |
