Description of the problem | Four unintended acceleration incidents has occurred with my toyota rav4. Recent incidents on 9/1415 (college park, md when brake applied at a red light with vehicle ahead; passenger/witness in car). High rpm and engine rev occurred; both feet on brake in attempt to keep car from advancing; put car in neutral and then park and engine stopped revving. And on 10/5/15 (damascus, md when brake applied at stop sign with vehicle ahead). Both feet on brake, car to neutral then to park. Actions did not stop engine rps. Turned key to turn off vehicle. Rubber mat (on top of toyota carpet mats) was removed before leaving the toyota service center on 9/15/15. Proving on 10-5-15 that the unintended acceleration problem is not a result of floor mats which toyota would like everyone to believe. Vehicle will be taken to darcar frederick md to filed second incident report on monday, 10/12/15 (delay because i left on travel 10/5/15). Intent will be to determine trade-in value of car and most likely purchase another vehicle. It's time that toyota recognize unintended accceleration problems with their rav4s. |
