| Description of the problem | Currently, i own a 2009 rav4 that was not apart of the recall due to the fact the car was manufactured in japan. However, i am experiencing sudden acceleration in my vehicle and toyota is doing nothing to resolve this issue. On a daily basis when i drive the car and i am pressing on the accelerator pedal the car suddenly jerks and the rpm's jump and jerks me forward. I find that it happens more frequently on a rainy or wet days but does occur everyday. This car is a safety hazard and i have been told by toyota that it is the way i am driving however, my husband drives my car and experiences the same thing when stepping on the accelerator pedal. Toyota needs to fix my problem. |
