Description of the problem	On 2 occasions, my 2009 toyota rav 4 with a serial # beginning with a "j" experienced sudden acceleration. Although there was no damage on either incident, the dealership stated that there was little they could do as the recall for sudden acceleration did not apply to toyota rav 4's with a "j" serial code. I explained upon bringing the vehicle in on 2/17/10 to dch toyota, rt. 9 so., freehold, nj,, that both of my sudden acceleration cases occurred before the recall notice and that i, in fact called dch on 1/13/10 & on 1/24/10 and reported the problem. On both occasions i was told by the service department to bring the car in for service but it was not subject to recall because of the "j" serial. I did bring the car in on 2/17 and was told, after inspection, that since no sudden accel. Was experienced during the service, nothing could be done and no remedial action could be taken. My contention, and the reason for my complaint is that sudden acceleration in the rav 4 is, without a doubt, occurring in this car with a "j" serial # and should be covered by the recall and remediation should extend to this vehicle. I do believe that other "j" serial cars have been involved in accidents which causes me to further question toyota's existing recall parameters.
