| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2006 toyota rav4 in april and the vehicle seems to have an issue no one wants to address, we on the forums call it erratic acceleration. The car uses some type of electronic sensors to determine the change in gears when accelerating and it is very erratic. One time it goes smoothly and another it takes off, very dangerous and unstable. Toyota won't acknowledge this issue but 90% of the owners will testify to it. Toyota needs to come up with a fix before someone is seriously hurt. This happens every time i drive. * nm |
