Description of the problem	During normal driving, my wife and father-in-law have experienced multiple incidents of unintended acceleration or surging on our 2008 rav4 (awd, 6-cylinder). This is typically occurring at highway speeds or light acceleration above ~25mph. This has been occurring since right after we purchased the vehicle in october 2008. Dealer could not verify problem and no error codes were found. The anti-skid control comes on randomly and applied the brakes also, usually while vehicle is stopped. When foot is removed from brake, vehicle stays stopped until accelerator is push and then system releases the brakes and anti-skid light goes out. Dealer could not find any error codes for this either. This is a vehicle with a vin number beginning with j, which has been excluded from recent recalls.
