Description of the problem	After having had two events of sudden acceleration in an 2007 toyota rav4, the dealer, metro toyota, talked us unto trading in the 2007, for a brand new 2010 rav4, after assuring us that there were no similar complaints with the 2010 model. We drove this car for about 230 miles, when on june 20 ,2010, a mile after exiting the freeway, with my wife in the passenger seat, i was coming up to a red light,going down a slight slope,on the road,when the car engine surged. I put the gear in neutral, drove the car paraller and near somebody'e driveway, put the car in park, and was preparing to go knock on the door of the homeowner to ask him/her to come and witness the,rpms, when the car surging stopped. I carefully drove the car home. I did not call the dealer that evening. The next day, i was going to a nearby grocery, preparing to get into a left turning lane, approaching a red light, again going down a slight incline on the road, my foot on the brake, when i felt the engine rev up strongly. I pressed hard on the brake, put the gear in neutral, lifted up the hand brake, and a got out of the car for a while hoping to spot a police car or have someone else come and witness this terrible event. Seeing no one willing to stop, i got back in the car, again pressed my foot on the brake, but the rpms remained above 5000. After waiting one more minute, the speed of the engine came down to normal, i picked up the required items at the grocery store, and returned to my home nearby. I called the dealer, they sent a man who took the car to service. The car was there for over three weeks. Their answer was that the car checked ok, they attempted no repair. I refused to again drive this car on the road. I ended up buying a similar car of another make. This and the previous incident in the 2007 rav 4 has cost us over 13,000 dollars .
