I was driving my 2007 Toyota rav 4 and I was stopped at a traffic light. When the light turned green, I turned left and the car started to race and accelerated to 40 mph and stuck there. I tried pressing on the brake pedal and nothing happened. I swerved to miss two cars and the car kept going. I tried putting it into neutral and nothing happened again. I then called my father who is familiar with cars and told him the story and he told me to try the emergency brake and that didn't work either. He instructed me to try it again and this time the car jolted forward and slowed down. I pulled over and turned the ignition ff and was very shaken and quite upset. I had the car towed to lia northampton Toyota and informed them I would not be driving this leased car again unless they looked at it thoroughly and repaired it. The tech verified a high idle . The tech found a throttle plate was mechanically sticking. They replaced the throttle body. I also had them document it and give me paperwork. I did contact them when the recall was announced and they told me that 2007 was not part and they would not look at my car again.
