2015 Toyota RAV4 Vehicle speed control Problems

“As I was pulling into my parking lot, I pressed the brake to stop the vehicle. When I moved my gearshift into the park position, my car jumped the curb and drove into my exterior wall. After the collision, the car then started driving backwards at an accelerating speed. After jumping back into the parking lot, I crashed into a car parked behind me, which made the car finally stop. The airbags did not deploy during either collision. By the end, the vehicle had been totaled.”

“Sua incident - coasting before entering garage as usual with my right foot on floor and not engaged with accelerator or brake. Upon entering the garage car began to accelerate, naturally shocking/baffling me, as I had already started braking and continued to do that to no avail as car proceeded to hit back wall of the garage where acceleration stopped,car came to rest. I never drive with two feet and am absolutely certain my foot was on the brake and brake was not responding. Also car did not accelerate with the same sound as it normally would if I pressed the gas peddle. …”

“While pulling up to a gas pump the car suddenly accelerated. It went from zero to 40 miles per hour. I was in the passenger seat and my husband was driving. He pumped the brakes but car made a loud revving noise and would not stop. My husband was able to avoid hitting a truck, but the car went over a concrete mediano and only came to a stop when the emergency brake was pulled. The car was filled with airbag smoke even though the airbags did not deploy. A witness said that he could tell it was a mechanical issue because of the loud revving noise the car was making. …”

“Driving on slight grade at approx. 55 MPH. Attempted to pass car in front of me. Checked left lane, semi about 50-75 yards back. Pressed down gas pedal and nothing. It was like the car went into neutral. Meanwhile semi is approaching. Pumped pedal a few times nothing semi has to slow down because I am slowing down instead of accelerating. Finally pedal catches and car accelerates. This has happened about 5 times since I got this car new in january, Toyota dealer service person says this is normal as everything is done by computer now, not hardwire. …”

“I was pulling in a parking space at the back of the building in which I worked. I turned right into my space going about idle speed. I took my foot off the brake to move into the space when it took off and went into the building. I missed the sensor by a quarter of an inch and the air bags did not deplore. I had the black box read by Toyota and then they never called me back to explain the book of papers that gave all sorts of information which I really don't understand. After about two or three months it happened again when my husband was driving and came to a four way stop on a city street. …”
