| Description of the problem | My 2007 toyota rav4 experiences sudden and random instances of uncontrollable acceleration when attempting to stop. Under full brake pressure the engine revs to 4000 rpm and continues to move. When i shift to neutral to stop the vehicle, the engine revs to 6500 rpm. Sometimes it will return to normal idle after a few seconds and sometimes it is necessary to turn off the ignition. It usually restarts normally but occasionally repeats the 6500 rpm. I have taken it to the dealer twice who finds no computer record of a malfunction and reports that " everything meets factory specifications. " i have requested technical assistance from toyota motor sales but they only refer me back to the dealer. |
