 Description of the problemIt is very difficult to control acceleration from a stop while driving my rav4 in stop and go traffic. This has been true since i purchased the car with about 40,000 miles on it. I removed the floor mat with no change. I have been told by two toyota dealerships (one had the car for evaluation for a day and charged me a diagnosis fee and for a rental car) that this is normal. This is a potentially dangerous condition and clearly a safety hazard. I hold a commercial drivers license and have had many years of experience driving a wide variety of vehicles and have never encountered this problem. It is only a matter of time before the car hits something. Toyota must address this issue. Until this problem is remedied there is the real risk of something or someone being damaged or hurt (or worse). Update: on march 3, 2010 i delivered the car to dick dyer in columbia, sc at toyota's request. The regional technician inspected the car that day. I have since been contacted by the general manager and informed that toyota is flying a team of engineers from california to evaluate the car next monday, march 15, 2010. Updated ivoq 05/28/10.*jb the consumer believed the electronic software, interface design was flawed. The throttle pedal and the engine did not accurately track each other. There was a delay, which resulted in an abrupt and excessive engine response. Updated 09/26/12

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
