Sudden unintended acceleration. . . . Once again! I was pulling into a parking stall of a shopping center at about 2-3 mph. I started to apply the brakes. Simultaneously, the car lurched forward hitting a retention pole. In an attempt to stop the car from going any further, I continued to press down on the brake pedal and shifted into reverse. The edr shows that the gasoline engine reached 2200 rpms, while the hybrid electric motor reached 2300 rpms. The car performed a backward semi circle maneuver, eventually hitting a cement wall and coming to a stop. Even though there were two (2) impacts (one going forward and one going backward) no air bags were deployed. If there had been people in the area, they easily could have been killed. The damage to the car was extensive and the car was "totaled". The car manufacturer inspected the car and downloaded the event data records. Sudden unintended acceleration can't be reproduced!! there were/are no error codes and all car manufacturers, including my automobile's, refuse to acknowledge the issue. At the very least, could NHTSA please remind the public that this is a serious, albeit infrequent, danger?.
I received 2 speeding camera tickets due to sudden acceleration noticed time to time, front suspensions are not even and rough, transmission is not smooth when changing gears and/or stopping vehicle.
Vehicle accelerated suddenly when I was trying to get into a parking spot on my left side. Saved from crashing into the adjacent car when I quickly pushed the brakes, very scary. It was raining at the time, and the parking spot I was aiming for is at an incline.
2019 rav 4 xle premium I purchased a year ago continues to lurch when suddenly accelerating from a rolling stop. An example is when pulling up to a red light and the light suddenly turns green, I'll take my foot of the brake and tap the gas and the car hesitates then accelerates. This motion jerks me and other passengers in our seats.
