| Description of the problem | Unintended acceleration after the car hit a pot hole on i-270 southbound. With both brake and emergency brake fully engaged the car still went with a speed faster than most of the cars on the road. I was forced to drive the car in the grass intermediate area for ~10 seconds till the car rolled over and the engine finally came to a stop. This rav4 was recalled by toyota and had its "stuck gas pedal" problem fixed a few years ago. Toyota also fixed the excessive engine oil consumption problem last year and i have been pleased with toyota's service and how the performance of the car in general till this life threatening event occurred yesterday. |
