| Manufacurer | TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION |
| Brand | TOYOTA |
| Model | RAV4 |
| Model Year | 2007 |
| File date | 05/01/10 |
| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While using the cruise control it has a tendency to accelerate rapidly and sometimes past the set speed when using "resume." hitting the brakes or turning off cruise control has always stopped it. This has happened many times over the last three years. Usually the car is going over 60 mph when this happens. Recently the car has accelerated once when not using the cruise control. When hitting the brakes the acceleration stopped. This has happened only once. I have never taken it in because it will be hard to trace and the warranty is out. Without changing out all of the components one could never be sure the problem was corrected. I noted that you have now gone down to 2009 rav's. I believe that there could be a problem with earlier years too. |
