Consumer Description

WHILE PUTTING ON THE BRAKES TO STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP TO 6000 RPM AND TRIED TO TAKE OFF BY ITSELF. I PUSHED THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM MOVING. I KICKED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT DISENGAGED. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THERE WAS NOT A FLOOR MAT INVOLVED AS THERE WAS NOT ONE IN THE CAR AT THIS TIME. THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO A TOYOTA DEALER ABOUT THIS THEY SAID THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN AND I WAS WRONG ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. THE DEALER DID NOT DOCUMENT ANY OF THIS AND WANTED NOTHING FURTHER TO DO WITH ME. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING WHEN YOU PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. MY WIFE WAS ALSO IN THE CAR TWO OF THE TIMES AND SAW WHAT HAPPENED. SHE WAS NOT IN THE CAR FOR THE LATEST EPISODE.
