On 3/22/17 I was driving an enterprise rental car into an apartment complex and pulled in front of the leasing office to park. While stepping on the brake pedal the car did not stop and it suddenly accelerated causing the car to crash into the pillars of the leasing office with force. Airbags deployed and my passenger and I had to crawl out of the rear passenger door to escape the vehicle. We are lucky to be alive and escape with minor injuries. There are drag skid marks on the ground from the rear wheels.
While using cruise control on fairly level roadway, (rural road) at a speed of 45 MPH, the RPM were about 1500, but increased suddenly to about 4500 RPM. After awhile the RPM would drop back down to normal for the speed situation. This occurs also at highway speed of 60 MPH in our area. This occurrence has happened many times. Have returned to dealer twice now. Problem was observed by service manager and local toyota rep who was in town for local auto show.
