 Description of the problemThe accelerator stuck and raced while driving into newport nh in a line of traffic. I was fortunate that there was an empty parking lot to turn into or i would have hit the car in front of me. The car is a toyota rav 4 bought new in june of 2007 and this was the first time this happened, and it was before the news of the toyota problems surfacing.. Since then it has repeated this 8 times through april of 2010, completely randomly. It has been to two nh dealerships (about 20 hours of inspections/ diagnoses) and they have not been able to replicate the problem. In fact toyota has told me that there is nothing further they can do and if the car is indeed dangerous or an accident waiting to happen that is my problem. At this point i am not sure they believe me but i can assure you that the defect is very real and the last time it occurred on april 5 there were two people in the car who saw it firsthand as it happened twice that day. Additionally i don't know what to do with the car as i can't sell it with this kind of defect and my wife will no longer drive it. Loaning the car to anyone else becomes a liability and driving with young children or elderly folks is out of the question. Frankly i have been highly disappointed in toyota's response which has been slow or non responsive until recently when they informed me that everything is working properly and that arbitration is my only recourse. The car has 22000 and is still under warranty.

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
