| Description of the problem | We purchased our toyota 2006 rav 4 new and have had trouble with unintended acceleration, as well as sluggish throttle response intermittently since our purchase. We are concerned of the potential of an accident. The most recent occurrence was on feb. 28, 2010 when i was in a parking garage on a flat surface. When i depressed the gas pedal our vehicle did not move for three seconds then surged forward faster than it should have. These cars are unsafe and should be recalled along with the others that toyota continues to deny there are safety issues pending with these vehicles. |
