What owners wrote
On 2 occasions, my 2009 toyota rav 4 with a serial # beginning with a "j" experienced sudden acceleration. Although there was no damage on either incident, the dealership stated that there was little they could do as the recall for sudden acceleration did not apply to toyota rav 4's with a "j" serial code. I explained upon bringing the vehicle in on 2/17/10 to dch toyota, rt.
On the day indicated below when I was driving my 2010 toyota rav4 to a store, I tried to slow down the vehicle to a left turn but it failed to drop the speed. Then I realized it probably has the problem people currently complain. So, I switched the shift to neutral position and I heard the engine surge at a very high speed for several seconds and then slowed down. I stopped the vehicle and checked the gas pedal which was not sticky. Since then, I continued to use this vehicle without same issue.
