Consumer Description

I WAS TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN MY 2007 RAV4 SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE RPM'S WERE OVER 6000. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER THAT DAY AND THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK BUT TOLD ME THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I ASKED WHAT I COULD DO OR WHO I COULD SPEAK TO AND THEY SAID THERE NOTHING UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN MAY 2009 AND WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE IN JUST RECENTLY FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE I AGAIN WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO SINCE IT IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. WHY ISN'T IT? MUST SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY DIE BEFORE SOMEONE WILL MAKE IT A PART OF THE RECALL LIST? I AM TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR A SAFETY CHECK NEXT WEEK. *TR
