Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 TOYOTA RAV4 ON OCTOBER 18,2012,AND UPON PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR BEGAN "ROARING" AND ACCELERATED RAPIDLY TOWARD MY HOUSE. I PRACTICALLY STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STOPPED JUST SHORT OF CRASHING. IT TRAVELED A DISTANCE OF 60 FEET BEFORE STOPPING. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND IT HAS 6000 MILES ON IT. MY HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE TOYOTA FLOOR MAT AND IT WAS IN PLACE SECURED BY THE "FIX" TOYOTA HAS INSTALLED(TWO CLIPS). NO OTHER MAT IS IN OUR CAR. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LAKEWOOD TOYOTA. *TR
