NHTSA Complaint #10356368 — 2010 TOYOTA RAV4

I BOUGHT THE 2010 TOYOTA RAV4 THIS JULY. THE CAR WAS FINE UNTIL TODAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2010. TODAY AT 11:45 AM, I WAS BRAKING AS I APPROACHED THE RED LIGHT GOING AT 25MPH. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I PRESSED THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER, THE CAR JUMPED THE LIGHT, AND EVEN THOUGH THE CAR DID SLOWED, I HAD TO SLAM IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE HALT. I THEN PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT I WAS VERY SCARED. AT 4:30 PM THE SAME DAY, I JUST EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND WAS COMING TO THE RED LIGHT. I WAS BRAKING AT 25MPH, YET THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES EXTREMELY HARD AND ALTHOUGH IT DID COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I HEARD THE ENGINE REVVING. AGAIN I WAS VERY SCARED. NO ACCIDENTS OCCURRED. *TR
