Problems with 2010 Toyota RAV4 EQUIPMENT

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota rav4. while driving at an unknown speed, the air conditioner was activated. the contact noticed water leaking onto the carpet in the front driver and passenger side of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and a dealer where it was diagnosed that the hose in the vehicle was installed incorrectly and would need to be re-installed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 20,000.

Unintended acceleration o f toyota rav4 with "fixed" accelerator pedal within 50 miles of driving: 0n coming to traffic stop engine revved up to an audible high speed. to prevent a collision i applied intensive pressure to brake pedal while setting hand brake. car stlill seemed to be in forward roll mode, so i pushed gear shift from drive thru neutral,reverse and into park. engine speed returned to normal idle without further incident. i then drove 40 some miles to return home. on 3/27 i took car to the dealer to report that the accelerator pedal modification was a failure. i took delivery of this new car on 7/31/09. within about 300 driving miles of accumulated mileage, the 1st unintended acceleration occurred required added pressure to brake pedal & use of hand(emergency) brake to stop car & end abnormal engine speed. gear shift remained in drive. i had 3 to 4 such incidents within approx. 2400 miles comprising 40-50 trips, none longer than 100 miles. most of my driving is highway type, which does require intermittent but infrequent traffic stops. about 200 miles occurred in city-type conditions (frequent traffic stops) which were spread over about 12 of the aforesaid trips. all the ua situations occurred under the city-type conditions. i made several trips to the dealer to report the incidents and to obtain help. after the 1st one the service department checked the car & found nothing with the car's safe operability. i took the car back for service after the incident which was post safety recall pedal modification. the response was that this was the first that they had heard of a "fix" failure. toyota appears to cling to the sticky floor mat or simultaneous pressure to accelerator and brake pedals.

I have a vibration when going between 62-70mph. have no idea from what have taken it to the dealer, they balanced the tires, we had a private tire dealer check the balance, still there. the owner of our dealership called and said she test drove two other ones, same model as ours and they do it too. in fact she said one vibrates worse than ours. we are being told this is normal, but we know, that no vibration is normal. *tw
