| Description of the problem | Problem: accelerator stuck in 2010 toyota rav4 on 3/31/10, while at low speed and slowing for a stop light, my accelerator stuck, impairing my ability to stop. I pressed firmly on the brake, then engine continued to race. While continuing to press the brake, i put the car in neutral, then into park. The car stopped. I am surprised i did not rear end the vehicle in front of me. I drove carefully to the rochester toyota dealership, just minutes away. I spoke with the service manager. This vehicle is one involved in the current toyota recall. I had the accelerator repair made on march 5, 2010. I had not experienced any accelerator problem before today. I explained to the manager my concern that the true problem with uncontrolled acceleration has not been identified, thus my problem occurred despite the prior replacement of my pedal. I phone the toyota 800 number an made a report. Neither the toyota service manager nor the person at the 800 number could assure me that these incidents are being documented or evaluated individually or as a group. I find this very unsettling, and i'm concerned for my safety and the safety of others in and around toyota vehicles. |
