Description of the problem	I am the owner of a 2008 rav4. I was traveling with cruise control at 50 mph as i approached a down grade toward a traffic light i manually took the car out of cruise control expecting to slow some. I realized that i needed to slow more and applied the brake pedal. However, i could feel the car fighting the brakes. I put the car into neutral and was able to stop for the lights. When i did this the engine was racing while stopped. When the light changed i put the racing engine into drive. I jerked forward and has been ok since. I reported this to the dealer. I was told that another owner of the same year and model reported a similar event that day. This is different than the runaway cars reported in the news, as the car did not accelerate to max speed. Toyota seems not to be responding to cars made before 2009. I think this is a computer problem where the cruise control did not turn off and the stepping on the brakes did not take it out of cruise control either. On feb 19 i reported this to the toyota dealer and was told that another person had reported this same type of thing that same day. They look for error codes but found none.
