| Description of the problem | I bought the 2010 toyota rav4 this july. The car was fine until today, september 19th, 2010. Today at 11:45 am, i was braking as i approached the red light going at 25mph. When i pressed the brake the car continued to accelerate. I pressed the brake even harder, the car jumped the light, and even though the car did slowed, i had to slam in order to come to a complete halt. I then pulled over and restarted the engine. Although there was no accident i was very scared. At 4:30 pm the same day, i just exited the highway and was coming to the red light. I was braking at 25mph, yet the car continued to accelerate. I had to slam the brakes extremely hard and although it did come to a complete stop, i heard the engine revving. Again i was very scared. No accidents occurred. |
