Description of the problem	On 1/6/14 i was coming to an intersection and i was slowing down. I noticed that the engine was raving and was trying to pull me forward. Because i was pressing the brakes the car was able only to jerk forward. I had to switch to neutral to prevent car jerking forward. Then the engine returned to normal rpm. This actually happened the second time. The first time it happened in october 2013. On 1/9/14 i gave the car to a toyota dealer. They said that they will take this matter very seriously and the toyota engineers will come to read the computer data and review the vehicle. After one week it appears that nothing happened. I wrote to toyota. They opened case #1401231137. After that the dealer kept the car for another week but "could not duplicate the problem". They opened the case #140230518. Finally, today 1/25/14 they gave me the car back with a stupid advice "not step gas and brakes at the same time". They said they test drove the car, but the mileage in and out is the same (6,085). I bought the car new and it never was in any accident. Now i believe to every claim of unintended accelerations of toyota vehicles. I hope the federal agency will do something about this.
