| Description of the problem | I put my rav 4 2009 in park while running and got out of the car and talked to my mail carrier, went around my car to my mailbox and all of a sudden, my car took off accelerating and backed out of the driveway, i tried to get the car but it was moving too fast it hit a tree. Now i keep it in er brake when i get out. Toyota dealers claim they cannot check to see what happened. I am sorry as to what to do, i had a witness to this incident i am afraid of my own car, i do not know when it will do it again. Was told i should be glad i did not get run over when i walked behind it. |
