“2017 RAV4 hybrid xle - 4300 miles hello, experience a problem last week driving on the highway. While driving 75 MPH, I took my foot off gas pedal to coast, the EV light came on for about 1/2 - 1 second and then went off.

A passenger with me, who is a witness to this event, is an owner of a rav 4 se without the safety sense/pre-collision system. …”

I had to turn the car slightly to the right to back it towards a handicap ramp. My car was rolling so I was using the brake and moving slowly when my car accelerated backwards. I was pressing my foot on the brake, almost standing on it , and my car accelerated through the railing onto the ramp while my foot was on the brake. This railing was about 35 ft long and had 7 post that were cemented into the ramp. The whole railing was knocked down. …”
