2010 Toyota RAV4 Fuel system Problems

“I was on the freeway and entering a freeway ramp to another freeway in a turn and I let my foot off the gas and the throttle stuck and actually my car began to speed up on its own! My foot was not the gas at the time I let it for a sec and than it was like I slammed on the gas going into the turn on the ramp it scared the hell out of me its the first something like that happen to me. …”

“I bought the car 8/31/2010. The car always jumped for no reason. Henderickson Toyota said nothing was wrong. I saw 2010 RAV4 was involved in a lawsuit that Toyota corporation lost in 2013.

I sold the car because the car was in 2015 because it had a second major problem with poor control of backend.”

“A few days ago, I turned on my vehicle and saw three lights, check engine, electronic stability control, and 4wd. I took my vehicle into the Toyota dealer, which diagnosed my problem as water in the charcoal canister that is part of the evaporative fuel system. Problem is that fuel vapors can now accumulated in and about the vehicle. The dealer checked with Toyota to see if it would pay for the repair. They wouldn't. The total parts to fix this problem cost about $1000, and the 3 hrs' labor is over $500. I was shocked. …”
