 Description of the problemIn march of 2008 i had two occurrences of unintended acceleration with my 2007 six cylinder toyota rav4. The first was very frightening as i was stopped at a red light. The car suddenly accelerated and pulled me through the intersection while my foot was on the brake. If there had been a car in front of me or one coming through the intersection i would have crashed. Shortly after that incident a milder less powerful acceleration event happened. I brought the car to the dealer on march 26 08 and they could not duplicate the problem or give a reason for it. The told me to bring it back if the problem recurred. It did not happen again until 2/19/2010. As in the first two incidents, the event happened while stopped at a red light with my foot off the gas pedal. In this case i quickly shut off the motor, or i would have hit the car in front of me. As in the other cases after i restarted the car the problem was over. Our other car is a camry and i have never have never had this problem with that car or any other car. I brought the car back to the dealer and again no reason for the event was found and there was no remedy offered except possibly a gas pedal over ride if one becomes available. After the long gap in time between the first two events i thought maybe they were a fluke. Now i worry that i may be in an accident or hit a pedestrian. I am no mechanic but i really think that it is some sort of electronic problem. The car was stopped and my foot was off the gas pedal each time the sudden acceleration happened.
