What owners wrote
I was leaving my home in my 2010 toyota rav4. I put the car in reverse and it instantly began to accelerate at a very high speed. I immediately pressed down on the brakes as hard as I could. However nothing occurred the car continued to reverse rapidly. I shifted into neutral but it was a small space and by then I was near the stone fixture which the vehicle hit. The fixture which was solid stone was in the ground, it was uprooted by the vehicle.
On december 24, 2010 my father experienced a third incident of unintended acceleration in his 2010 toyota rav. Despite having already performed all the necessary recall fixes, extensive testing by 2 toyota dealerships and even having the entire gas pedal replaced, the car malfunctioned. The engine began to rev at a high rate as he slowed for a 4-way stop. His foot was firmly on the brake, not the gas pedal as toyota likes to contend.
