Description of the problem	April 4, 2010 topic: communication of engine acceleration from: omitted vehicle: -toyota rav4 -purchased 9/26/09 - -year/model: 2009/4443a -engine: 3. 5 liter dohc v6 engine with dual vvt-i -purchased from: germain toyota of columbus problem: today, april 4, 2010, my wife was backing the rav4 into our car garage. Upon getting the car completely on the floor of the garage (a level surface), she was idling in reverse so that the suv would finish backing up to insure the garage door would go down without hitting the front of the vehicle. Suddenly, the engine revved up a few hundred rpms. With her foot already on the brake pedal she immediately pushed down very hard on the brake pedal and pushed the console gear shift into neutral. Thus, my wife was able to prevent the suv from immediately speeding up in reverse which prevented the vehicle from ramming into the garage wall which was approximately 4 to 5 foot from the back of the vehicle. The above action by my wife may have taken 2-3 seconds. However, after getting the rav4 into neutral , the engine immediately revved up to a few thousand rpms. Within a very few seconds my wife turned the motor off. Fortunately, the vehicle was in neutral when this engine revving occurred. I was in the house in a room directly above the garage and heard both times of the engine revving. My wife also had a similar revving up of the engine that occurred approximately 5 days previous to march 4, 2010 while sitting at a red light. She held the brake pedal down. She only needed to hold the brake pedal down for 1 -2 seconds before she could take her foot off the brake to allow the car to go through the light that just changed to green. Upon letting up on the brake pedal to go forward the rpms immediately reduced. Also, the revving of the engine this time was comparable to the initial engine revving stated above for a few hundred rpms.
