| Description of the problem | Approaching a traffic light, approximately 10-15 mph, with the brake applied, the engine of my 2008 rav4 (vin [xxx] ) accelerated for 3-4 seconds. Because my foot was already on the brake pedal, i was able to keep the vehicle under control during the unintended acceleration. This has occurred only once, 3 weeks ago. After taking the rav4 to the local toyota dealer, the dealer found no computer codes stored, test drove the vehicle, but was unable to duplicate the acceleration condition. The vehicle was not covered by any of the existing acceleration recalls. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
