2014 Toyota RAV4 Vehicle speed control Problems

“There is a lag in the accelerator when moving from very slow or from a stop. When moving into cross traffic it is hazardous as you lose significant speed or acceleration creating an unreasonable risk that the cross traffic will collide with your vehicle. This is not a one time occurrence as it happens on a continuous basis. The dealer takes no responsibility and is ducking the issue. I am afraid it is just a matter of time before they may be serious incidents as other owners have said the same thing to me.”

Before starting work, my wife was attempting to slowly park our 2014 RAV4 at less than 2 MPH in an empty parking space in the public parking lot where she works when the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own reaching a final speed of 21 MPH in the span of approximately 2 to 3 seconds. During these 2 to 3 seconds the vehicle traveled a distance of approximately 27 feet from the empty parking space, running over the parking space concrete curbs and hit a parked vehicle on the RAV4 right and then ran into a tree, which was the only thing that stopped the vehicle. …”

Wheels continued to spin and accelerate even after car had collided with other (parked) cars, and continued to accelerate with no response from the brakes. It collided in quick succession with four cars until it finally stopped (car was turned off). Luckily no one was injured, there were dozens of pedestrians returning to their vehicles after a classic concert. I asked for an investigation by the car maker. Investigation was conducted on 6 july (cdr/edr record recovered from srs module). …”
