| Description of the problem | I have a toyota rav 4 2010. Several times when i have come to a stop and then shifted into park, the car starts to accelerate on its own as if it were racing top speed. I slammed on the brakes. I tried to shift into neutral . The car lurched forward and crashed into the snow bank in front of me as i turned the car off. This happened two other times as i was trying to park today. I tried calling the dealership but they were closed. Don't know what they will do. I need the car for work tomorrow, but am hesitant to drive it anywhere of course. |
