Vehicle: 2006 Toyota rav 4 problem: stuck accelerator date of incident: December 24, 2009 my wife was leaving work on the 24th of December. Our car was parked facing uphill. As she was leaving her parking space, she depressed the accelerator slightly and the car "took off" on its own. She ended up hitting a car on the other side of the road, then going over to the other side, over a sidewalk, snow bank and then hitting a building. I have reported this incident to Toyota who went to my local dealer to check it out. They claim that they could not find anything and sent a letter to my house stating that fact. The weather conditions that day were sloppy snow. As mentioned, the car was facing uphill so the slippery conditions actually acted in her favor. I wrote up a full report with photos that I sent to both Toyota and state farm. I would be happy to e-mail this report to you as well. Our rav 4 had a little over 51,000 miles on it when the accident occurred. It is a 4 cylinder, automatic.

I have a 2006 Rav4 Toyota SUV. My gas pedal has been sticking since 2007. I have had a accident because of it, where I had over $7000. 00 worth of damage done to repair it. At a Toyota dealership. I mention about the pedal, but no one believed me, so I just dropped it. It is still happening sometimes, where I have to turn the car off for a while, then turn it back on and then drive it. I telephoned Toyota about it and they gave me a case# for it. Then after 3 days after they gave me a case number, they told me that I have to have another accident in the Rav4, take it to a dealership and see if they can make it happen again. I could be died then!!. When I had the accident, not only did I have damage to my car, but I did damage to a building because my car when out of control and back in to the side of a building. A police report was done, but it was not mention in the police report. The damage to the building had to be more than a thousand dollars and compensation for the people inside it. It happen at a gas station in buford, georgia. It seems like Toyota do not want anyone to know that their gas pedals has been sticking for more years than they own up to. I am leasing my rv4 and have one more year left in my lease. Please pray that I can control my gas pedal while I am trying to complete this lease without getting killed.
