Problems with 2007 Toyota RAV4 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

I have owned a 2007 toyota rav 4 for 10 years. i was leaving a delaware, ohio, hospital parking lot, backing out slowly, my foot on the brake, while turning the wheel to the left. suddenly the engine roared and i shot backward, smashing into the car parked behind where my car had been. the car i hit was somewhat damaged in the rear driver's side fender. the impact shoved it out of its space and almost into a small truck to the right. my car's rear windshield shattered and the right back bumper and side were crumpled. this was the second time this happened to me. the first time, i again was backing from a tight spot, this time turning the wheel to the right, when the engine roared and the car lurched backward. that time, i hit nothing. it happened another time when my husband was backing, again from a tight spot while turning the wheel. back at the hospital lot. i informed the front desk employee, who informed the ohiohealth hospital police. two officers reported, took my information and began searching for the other car's owner. i also called the city police; an ...

I was turning my 2007 toyota rav4 south onto interstate 182 to head east, the car sudden out of my control and went off the road and hit a concrete barrier at 5:49 pm at 5/8/17. two passengers were hurt.

Car had been using excessive oil.while i was driving on interstate, cruise control failed ,warning lights came on , started flashing and then car quickly lost all power. barely got off the highway onto the right side of interstate. very dangerous condition exists with these vehicles. i consider myself lucky.

I am the second owner on this car and it has been in for repair 7 times for various recalls. does the lemon law apply to my car? you have recalled the electrical windows suspension seat belts cruise control what else is coming! claremont toyota in california had a complete check on the car and i paid 1500 but i still see recalls. what is going on???? i have another appointment for the suspension on monday 8/15/16

April, 2015 took rav4 in for recalls. after receiving the vehicle back periodically it would fail to accelerate. i thought the computer would maybe adjust itself. it didn't. it periodically stalls or fails to accelerate. i have almost been run over several times. called toyota of denton today. they denied that anything they did would have anything to do with that, even though we drove the vehicle 60k miles and never had a problem. i have two toyotas and denial of a problem is first on the list it seems. this drive by wire should be outlawed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota rav4. the contact stated that after starting the vehicle, all of the warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. the contact also stated that the cruise control failed to activate. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 51,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota rav4. while at a stop light, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle independently accelerated. the contact had to place the vehicle in neutral in order to stop the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the accelerator pedal was shortened, but the failure persisted. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

First noticed the problem on 11/10/2014 when approaching a stop light. the rav4 took longer than normal to come to a stop with greater force required to stop. once fully stopped, the vehicle was idling with low rpm's (~500) and the check engine light turned on along with vsc and trac lights. was able to drive the vehicle home, but experienced the same symptoms at every stop light / stop sign. contacted toyota dealership in tucson immediately and scheduled emergency service for the next morning. the toyota dealership diagnosed the problem with two error codes (p0171 and p0174 - lean air/fuel mix). was told they suspected a bad tank of gas. toyota addressed one open recall (service campaign bst - reflash brake control computer) on my vehicle but did not investigate the error codes, only cleared them. the following day while driving home, the same issue occurred. almost no brake pressure and barely able to stop. check engine light, vsc, and trac lights all illuminated again. low idle speed as well. contacted a different local mechanic for a second opinion. was informed the brake booster ...

The accelerator stuck while braking causing vehicle to surge forward. *js

I was stopped at a stop sign here in town. all of a sudden, without warning, the vehicle started to experience a high degree of acceleration. my foot was firmly planted on the brake pedal only. i could not stop the vehicle till i put it in neutral. the engine then started to rev itself up uncontrollably, until i turned it off with the ignition key. i was a good 15 feet into oncoming traffic when i had stopped. i then started it up again and drove home without incident. this was a total failure of the cars expectation to remain stationary while the brake is applied and the vehicle was not moving prior to the acceleration surge. *tr

i have just experienced sudden acceleration while pulling into a parking spot. i slammed on the brake and it didn't want to stop. i ended up bumping the car in front of me as i continued to brake. the engine was still surging and wouldn't go into reverse. i called mountain states toyota here in denver and explained the problems to the service manager. he told me that he had never heard of such a thing. there are numerous complaints with the same issue on the internet. the service manager, of course, is telling me that if they cannot reproduce it and it is not showing error codes(which it isn't) there isn't anything they can do. i told him i wanted the acceleration system thoroughly inspected...which he wants to charge me for unless they do find an issue. by what i have seen on the internet, it is useless to take it in as toyota is ignoring the issue, thinking they fixed it with the floor mats. i had the floor mats replaced on that recall well before this issue came up. i have also had many experiences with the engine surging and hesitating with ...

As i was driving home, the check engine, the trac and vsc lights all came on at the same time. i also heard a hissing noise when i pressed down on the brakes. i went to a mechanic to see what the problem might be, but it was late in the day and everyone was closing. he told me it sounded like a vacuum leak in the brake booster and to bring it back first thing monday (he seemed to think it'd be okay to drive over the weekend). on the drive home the brake light came on and there were a few times where i was afraid i wouldn't be able to stop the car at all. it was quite scary! i was pressing the brake pedal as hard as i could and then it finally grabbed, the car jerked, and the seat belts tightened up around me. i worked today (saturday) and the same thing happened to and from work, only now i am using the emergency brake to slow the car and i put it in park at stop lights. my next trip will be straight to a mechanic! ...
