 Description of the problemThe car accelerates very rapidly in reverse after a cold start. A morning a few days after buying the car, i started it up, shifted into reverse, and slowly released the brake pedal. The car began accelerate backwards so rapidly that i thought i must inadvertently put my foot on the accelerator. I pulled my foot away from the pedals but the car continued to accelerate. I shifted into park, but before there was any change in speed the car crashed into my neighbor's car across the street, causing over $5,000 in damage. If there had been someone standing across the street, it would likely have been a fatality. I contacted toyota and they sent out a corporate representative to examine the car. He acknowledged there was rapid acceleration in reverse, and stated that was "normal" operation for the car after a cold start, and that it would be even faster in cold weather (we live in southern california).
