What owners wrote
The vehicle is a 2019 Hertz rental RAV4 Hertz. On October 12, 2023, when I moved the gearstick to reverse the vehicle accelerated uncontrollable at extremely high speed and crashed into a wall. Braking did not stop the vehicle.
Car lost power twice, going up a steep grade. 'hybrid system malfunction' warning came on the screen, gas pedal did not work at all. I was unable to get to a safe place with children in the car, both times on the interstate. Driving up a steep mountain, about 50f weather.
