 Description of the problemI was driving my 2007 toyota rav4 up a mountain dirt road in worlds end state park in sullivan county pa. I was traveling approx 15 mph. I hit the brake to slow down when the throttle suddenly went to full acceleration. I pressed hard on the brake, put the transmission into neutral, stopped the vehicle and shut off the engine. I pressed the gas pedal a few times and restarted the engine. Everything seemed fine. The same thing occurred on the way down the mountain. This time i was in low gear and the brake would not hold the vehicle. It took me a few seconds to shift into neutral and shut off the engine. The road took a sharp turn to the right, which is why i hit the brake to slow down, and i just managed to stop short of going off the road into the trees. I had no further problems on my trip home. I took the car to the toyota dealer when i returned but they could find no problem. The only fault code in the system was for the battery which was ok when they checked it.
