| Description of the problem | Greetings, we have a 2008 rav4 which has twice exhibited uncontrolled engine acceleration. My wife has contacted toyota to no avail. Toyota has recalled other models but not the rav4. They have not heard our complaints as a mortal safety concern. It is as if we are trying to con the company. As a lifelong safety professional, this is very disturbing. Please advise as to our possible actions. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
