| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota rav 4. I purchased it new, and shortly after purchasing it i experienced two incidents where i pulled up to a stop sign, pressed the brake and the engine started revving and lurching forward. I took the vehicle to the dealer, they checked it over and looked at me like i was nuts. The had no explanation for the problem. I still own that vehicle and have had at least two more incidents where the engine has accelerated after moving my foot from the gas pedal to the brake. You need to expand the investigation. |
