| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 toyota rav 4, with a vin that begins with a 'j', but i have experienced a problem with acceleration when i depress the brake pedal. It has happened about 3 times in the last 4 months. The motor races and i have to press very firmly on the brake to keep the car from moving forward. I took the car to the toyota dealership where i purchased it, and they did a thorough check and could neither duplicate the acceleration problem nor find anything wrong with it the systems that they checked. That was about two weeks ago. I have not experienced that problem since, but it happened infrequently before. I am concerned that is may happen again. |
