 Description of the problemI had 3 incidents of unintended acceleration (ua) with my 2011 rav4 within 3 weeks of each other in mar/apr 2014, 1 resulting in a minor accident. A complaint was made with nhtsa at that time. I went thru toyota's complaint procedure, including inspection by their field technician. They found nothing wrong with the vehicle. On dec 4 & 12th, 2014, i experienced 2 more ua incidents. Each time i was coming to a stop at an intersection & i stepped on the brake, but my vehicle kept moving forward, and i could hear the motor revving up very loudly. I had learned from the previous 3 experiences last spring to keep a distance behind vehicles whenever possible when coming to a stop, so as to avoid ramming into the vehicles in front of me by veering to either side of the vehicle if possible. I should not have to be afraid every time i drive my rav4, but i am. My rav4 has only 20500 miles on it and is like new. It makes me livid that toyota can just ignore/deny that there is a problem, especially after seeing all of the other similar complaints regarding ua on the nhtsa site... Kind of like general motors covering up their little ignition problem for 10 years, while so many people were injured or died.
