| Description of the problem | Had my 2006 toyota rav 4 in the dealership for recall services. I also had recommended maintenance tuneup and brake fluid drain and refill. When i left the parking lot of the dealership, i crossed 2 lanes of traffic, braked, waited for alternate traffic to pass before turning onto the city street with my foot still on brake, the car accelerated, lurched then accelerated again without me pressing on the gas and continuing to brake when it accelerated. I called the dealership back the next morning and they towed it back in. After they performed several tests and test drive it they could not get it to duplicate the same thing. There were two previous occurrences that i did not report to this entity shortly after i purchased the car used. They happened close together and not again until the most recent event. I believe the prohibitive cost of throttle body and accelerator pedal module ($1,519. 40) which are the necessary repairs to actually fix the problem and not the floor mats, is why the previous owner sold the car to me. No warning forthcoming, even though i did ask. |
