Description of the problem	I was crossing a parking lot and pulling out into a street. I stopped then pulled forward, so i could see if any cars were approaching. A car was approaching so i pressed the brakes, then the car surged forward. It felt like when the cruise control accelerates. Because a crash was imminent, i decided my best chance was to move my foot to the gas petal and speed up. I drove the car straight and then to the left. The other driver laid on his horn, slowed down and drove on. I purchased this car in early november 2011 from fred anderson toyota. It appears to never have been wrecked. It had around 23,300 miles on it at time of purchase. That night of 02/21, i checked consumer reports online and found that there had been a recall on 2008 toyota rav4. The next morning, i removed the floor mat from the driver's side floor. It did not appear to have been moved before. There are 2 holes at the back of the mat and one of the holes had a black rubber hook device holding it to the floor. The other hole (back right side) did not have a hook. When i entered the vin on the toyota website, it showed a repair order for a car with 30,599 miles on 11/08/2012. My car still does not have that many miles. I don't think a repair has been done on my car. My notes show that i bought the car on 11/05/2011.
