| Description of the problem | As i was leaving a parking lot i depressed the brake as there was ongoing traffic coming on the road i was entering. The car accelerated and continued to race as i put increasing pressure on the brake and the car did move forward slightly. This happened twice on a car that had less than 900 miles. I have stopped driving the car, a toyota 2009 rav 4. It was picked up by a toyota dealer just recently and is being tested. Based on their comment that in the past they have been unable to reproduce this problem even though there are more and more reports of this problem. I currently have 3 other cars and have never experienced this problem. In fact in over 40 years of driving this have never occurred before. It is obviously a car failure not a driver problem. This is a serious accident waiting to happen. |
