Description of the problem	The rav 4 has an aggressive idle speed which cause the car to "creep" forward when stopped. If excess force isn't applied to the brake, the car will move forward at stop lights etc. I initially reported the problem to toyota of vacaville ca. On 8/25/216. I had rented a toyota corolla while the dealership investigated the problem along with routine maintenance. The report came back that the car operated normally. I then asked to do a "test drive" with the chief mechanic. We went out in the corolla first to a flat level location in the parking lot. After stopping the car i released the brake to demonstrate how docile the car reacted when the brake was released. We then got into my rav 4 and returned to the same location. I repeated the process and noted with the mechanic how much more aggressive the rav reacted when the brake was released. My assumption is that the idle is set too high which causes this problem of "creeping" while stopped. The mechanic agreed that it appeared more aggressive but wanted to do further testing, so on 8/28/2017 i returned the car to the dealership. The mechanic test drove another rav 4 and did a time test on how fast it went from point a to point b. He repeated the process with my car. His report stated that both rav 's performed the same. Unsatisfied with the testing done at the dealership i called toyota customer care on 8/30/207 and stated my concern. I was told that the dealership could not adjust the idle on the car because that's the way the car was designed and to change it would void the warranty. So toyota engineered into the rav 4 a problematic idle speed? I feel this is a safety issue and one day i will rear end someone. I have owned over 30 toyotas during my life, rented hundreds of cars during my career and have never had a car respond the way this rav 4 does.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
