Description of the problem	My wife told me that her toyota rav 4 seemed to surge forward when she was trying to stop. A few days later i was driving her car and was approaching a stop light that had just turned red. I started to slow down and apply the brake and the toyota suddenly accelerated and lurched forward. Fortunately, there was no car in front of me or i would have rear-ended it. I immediately put it in neutral and put both feet on the brake and the engine accelerated to approximately 5000 rpm. I turned the ignition off and pulled over. After the engine shut off completely, i restarted the car and managed to get home safely. I called the dealer, leith toyota, and they said to bring the car in right away. They kept the car several days and ran some tests, drove the car but because they were unable to replicate the same mechanical or electronic problem, they could not or would not do anything to fix the problem. So i feel that i am left with a vehicle that is not safe to drive. After learning that so many people have had the same problem, it is now obvious that toyota and leith toyota sold us this vehicle knowing the problem existed. The government needs to hold toyota and the dealerships responsible and liable for any accidents that occur from this problem and reimburse consumers that purchased and own vehicles that are unsafe due to this mechanical/electronic problem.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
