Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION TWICE. ONCE WAS A MONTH AGO AFTER STARTING THE 4 RUNNER IN THE GARAGE. THE RPMS INCREASED AND AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE THE CAR ACCELERATED STOPPING ONLY AS A PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKES. TODAY, 12-6-20, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, THE VEHICLE AGAIN ACCELERATED STOPPING ONLY WHEN I FORCEFULLY APPLIED THE BRAKES.
