Description of the problem	Since i bought my 2009 toyota rav4 (6cyl) in july 2009, i have experienced consistent jackrabbit starts. The day after i bought it, i discussed this with the salesman who handled my transaction. He seemed unconcerned and told me to discuss it with the service department at the 5000 miles check. Virtually every time i attempt to smoothly accelerate from a stop, i am thrown back into my seat and the vehicle accelerates rapidly. On a couple of occasions i nearly hit the car in front of me. On feb 1, 2010, i brought this to the attention of the service department of michael's toyota in bellevue, wa, when i took my vehicle in to have the accelerator pedal checked - mine was a denso and did not require modification. They reported "no defect," and that my vehicle drives like every other rav4. If that is the case, there is no doubt a risk that this jackrabbit tendency will cause accidents. I am convinced that the combination of toyota's electronic accelerator pedals and the hardware/software toyota uses to control the engines are faulty. I have listed the date of incident as the day i bought the rav4, but the jackrabbit accelerations happen every day!
