Description of the problem	On 4/22/2015, i had been driving my 2011 toyota rav4 limited edition at highway speed for about 2 hours. After leaving the interstate i was braking and completing a counterclockwise u-turn going about 10 mph when the engine began to race uncontrollably. Based on my previous experience with this problem (this is the fourth time this has occurred) i threw the shifter into park while continuing to brake. This quickly brought the engine speed down to idle. I had my wife confirm that i had my right foot on the brake pedal only. There was no ? Pedal misapplication.? The floor mats were securely in place and there were no loose objects on the floor. The road was dry and the temperature was probably in the 50s. The odometer was about 51,000 miles. This was the first recurrence of this problem since 12/26/2014. I brought the car to my toyota dealer. They could not identify the problem and said they would charge me if i brought the car in again for a recurrence of the problem.
