Description of the problem	From a dead stop when accelerating the vehicle will not speed up it acts like its in 6th gear. To gain control i need to push the accelerator to the floor & then it speeds up almost uncontrollably. This happen at 12 times. See my comment below that i sent to toyota corporate office. I have want i consider a severe safety issue with my 2018 rav4 ([xxx]). Upon accelerating from a stop the vehicle will not speedup it acts like it is in 6th gear to get it going i have put the gas pedal to the floor an then it sometime shoots ahead almost hitting a vehicle in front of me. Recently it happened 3 times in a row twice i got it to recover but the third time i needed to pull of the highway & restart the engine. This has happen at least 10 times. Phillips toyota service said it is a fly by wire problem (computer controlled). My first visit phillips did not even write a service request on the second visit they did, but on 12/04/2017 they did not again. This going to cause either a rear end or front accident. When accidents happen litigation usually follows. Lets get this fixed. Phillip toyota said other owners have had this same concern. 12/04/201 [xxx] cc: consumer protection agency national safety consul information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
