| Description of the problem | Started having intermittent incidents approx 8 mths ago. 3 x occurred. 2 x when pulling into driveway to park, driveway slightly graded up slant, braked but minor increase acceleration occurred. Braked harder & stopped. Increase acceleration continued for approx 15-20 sec longer then returned idle. Took service & tune-up. Told them, serviced and said fine. Also checked electrical as lighting switched from front to back seat for no reason. Told just reprogram needed & ok. After that service had one more incident when over mcdonald's mill valley - drive thru - vehicle ahead moved & i tried to just move slowly too. Accelerated much higher than foot pressure on pedal. Hit brakes hard & just missed car ahead of me. Car was stopped, but acceleration remained higher for 30-45 sec. Line held up until acceleration seemed ok. Then moved ahead w no issues. Now no incidents x approx. 2 months. Note pedal action has always appeared ok. Not human error. Found no known cause. Do use standard rubber rav4 floor mats - ok & clearance to depressed pedal 3 1/2-4 inches. I was unaware of problems toyota when these occurred, then news, & "red light" & thought of my incidents. Will they return again? My vin# says i am ok? I do know incidents happened. Had spoken with my son who is auto engineer too. Minor or major incidents still do carry risk exposure for me. And cost effect risk exposure too. Note i do not know exact dates of 4 incidents. |
