| Description of the problem | Incident = car 2010 toyota rav4 unintended acceleration happened 3 times. First time it happened before i brought car to service station for recall repair . Second time it was after recall. Third time happened just on july 18 2010 about 9 pm. I was standing at traffic light when rpm went up and car start moving forward. I put it in neutral and had to turn off the ignition because rpm still were very high. Please advise what should i do. My wife and kids driving my car sometimes and i know for sure that they would get in an accident if that problem happens with them. Damage resulting = moral distress for me. My wife experienced that all 3 times, very depressed and scared to even be in the car, never mind driving it. Car was serviced in millennium toyota for acceleration recall. I need an advice where can i check this car because it looks like toyota is unable to identify the source of the problem. I also would like to get data related to incident from the car computer by second party before toyota would do the service because when i brought my car for recall i was told that they had to flash the computer. My understanding of flashing computer is that memory was flashed and old information is not recoverable. Please advise. |
