| Description of the problem | While stopped at red light with right foot on brake, engine suddenly accelerated to very high rpm. Shifted to neutral and engine revved even higher. Turned off ignition. Signal turned green and since i was in traffic, decided to try to start engine again. Engine started and performed normally. Immediately drove to toyota dealer who said they could find nothing wrong. We are now afraid to drive this vehicle! Things could have been much worse had we been moving in traffic! |
