Description of the problem	I purchased a toyota 2006 rav 4 in january of 2006 and had the car serviced at the toyota dealer per the scheduled factory maintenance suggestions. In october of 2006, i was trying to avoid running a yellow light on peachtree street in atlanta, and accelerated hard to avoid the yellow light. The car lunged forward and was out of control. Even though i lifted my foot completely off the pedal. After getting through the initial shock i put the transmission in neutral, the engine revved up to the red line and i turned the ignition switch off. After waiting for a minute i restarted the car in park and the engine idled normally. I took the car to the toyota dealer for the scheduled maintenance and after inspecting it he told me there was nothing wrong with the car. After the recall of the toyota rav 4's i called the toyota dealer i bought the car from and talked to his service manager. He told me that the 2006 rav 4's have not been recalled as they have a different gas pedal and were made in japan. He could not explain the cause of the acceleration. The car has not done that since, however i am not driving the car anymore. My daughter is and this concerns me greatly. No fixes or repairs have been done on the car by the toyota dealer.
