What owners wrote
Engine attempted to accelerate on 2009 toyota rav 4 while stopped at stoplight behind other vehicles. Driver, standing on brakes, quickly put car in neutral and then park and engine returned to normal idle speed.
At 30-40 MPH there is a noise which when test driven by me with a toyota dealer described it as a shuttering noise. I am scheduled to bring my rv4 for analysis tomorrow 7/28/17.
