Consumer Description

VEHICLE ACCELERATED BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH. I HAD TO USE BOTH BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR AND EXPERIENCED A HARSH SHIFT CONDITION WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT TO PARK. DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT OUT AND STATED THAT THE ECM HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED IN 2007 AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE ANYTHING AT THIS TIME BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DURING THE INCIDENT EVEN THOUGH I REMINDED THEM ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2001-2003 MODEL YEAR RAV4S. *TR
