| Description of the problem | On 1/28/10 as i slowed for a traffic light the rav4 started to highly rev up.( my foot was on the brake not on the accelerator) yet it sounded as if it was going to speed up for no reason. It didn't actually accelerated. I was able to throw the gear into park and it stopped. That same day i brought it to the dealer and they said they fixed it as per the recall. On 3/11/10 i was talking with someone who was outside the vehicle. I was at a full stop with my foot on the brake but still in drive. The same high revving again happened. I again threw the gear into park and the revving stopped. I brought the vehicle back to the dealer. They inspected the vehicle and they had a toyota field tech inspect the vehicle. They found nothing wrong with the pedal. I have witnesses to both events. There is some problem if it isn't the pedal, it is something else. Vehicles don't rev by themselves. I refuse to drive the vehicle and i have notified toyota. Please advise and help me i like the vehicle otherwise. |
