Consumer Description
INCIDENT = CAR 2010 TOYOTA RAV4 UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAPPENED 3 TIMES. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED BEFORE I BROUGHT CAR TO SERVICE STATION FOR RECALL REPAIR .SECOND TIME IT WAS AFTER RECALL. THIRD TIME HAPPENED JUST ON JULY 18 2010 ABOUT 9 PM. I WAS STANDING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN RPM WENT UP AND CAR START MOVING FORWARD. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND HAD TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION BECAUSE RPM STILL WERE VERY HIGH. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT SHOULD I DO. MY WIFE AND KIDS DRIVING MY CAR SOMETIMES AND I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THEY WOULD GET IN AN ACCIDENT IF THAT PROBLEM HAPPENS WITH THEM. DAMAGE RESULTING = MORAL DISTRESS FOR ME. MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THAT ALL 3 TIMES, VERY DEPRESSED AND SCARED TO EVEN BE IN THE CAR, NEVER MIND DRIVING IT. CAR WAS SERVICED IN MILLENNIUM TOYOTA FOR ACCELERATION RECALL. I NEED AN ADVICE WHERE CAN I CHECK THIS CAR BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO GET DATA RELATED TO INCIDENT FROM THE CAR COMPUTER BY SECOND PARTY BEFORE TOYOTA WOULD DO THE SERVICE BECAUSE WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR FOR RECALL I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO FLASH THE COMPUTER. MY UNDERSTANDING OF FLASHING COMPUTER IS THAT MEMORY WAS FLASHED AND OLD INFORMATION IS NOT RECOVERABLE. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR
