Unintended acceleration.

Vehicle stalled while driving 60mph , vehicle overheated upon restarting

Vehicle happens to accelerate involuntarily when driving, especially on highway. You'll be driving, and then suddenly it starts to accelerate faster than usual. Had another family member drove vehicle to work, just to confirm if they had the same issue, and they did confirm that the vehicle was involuntarily accelerating at a higher speed on its own.

Intermittent loss/delay of acceleration power from a stop. When coming out of a stop, pressing the gas pedal warrants no response except the slow creep that occurs just as a result of lifting off the brake. This has happened a handful of times when trying to accelerate from being stopped at a red light. The problem occurs intermittently and I never know when to expect it. The most recent time this problem happened, I pressed the gas pedal all the way to the floor, and still the car did not accelerate. When left in the middle of an intersection, a loss of accelerator power can be deadly. I am a sitting duck as oncoming traffic comes towards me and I just hope they see me. Furthermore, when stalled out at a red light or stop sign, other traffic has to drive around me, risking the safety of other drivers as well. I took it into my Toyota dealership for repair, but since they are unable to replicate the issue, they cannot fix it. I was also met with skepticism; however, searching online has shown that other people have experienced the same problem with the same vehicle. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or any others as of now. No engine lights appear when this happens; this is also what led the dealership to believe there wasn't actually a problem.

Took my 2019 RAV4 to Toyota of Orange. Like couple months ago for fuel pump recal but my vehicle stalls when driving on freeway or streets. Looses speed for 4 seconds and its scary reported issues to Toyota of Orange and they don’t fixed anything they only want to sell. They offer me services I don’t need for my vehicle. Got 2021 RAV4 rental from Enterprise and that one work just find no problems had it for about a week. If could get another another dealer that will be great.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 65 MILES ON A FREEWAY I DRIVE DAILY. WHILE HAVING THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND DRASTICALLY REDUCED THE SPEED TO ALMOST 0 WHEN THE VEHICLE GOT CLOSED TO ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE LANE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE TURNING WAS NOT ON MY LANE IN FRONT OF ME IT WAS ALREADY IN A SEPARATE LANE MAKING THE TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS 5 TIMES IN THE YEAR I HAVE OWNED IT.

WAS AT DRIVE THROUGH CASH MACHINE, STOPPED, PUT INTO PARK, DID MY TRANSACTION, PUT CAR INTO DRIVE LEFT TO GET TO STREET VIA A SIDE STREET. NOTED AT STOPS THAT THE BRAKES WERE HARD AS WHEN ABS IS NOT QUITE RIGHT. ON A TOWN STREET, TWO PEDESTRIANS STEPPED OUT INTO MY LANE OF TRAVEL. I PUT ON MY BRAKES, HARD. THE ENGINE REV'D AND CONTINUED FASTER AND I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE WOMEN GOT OUT OF THE LANE. I REALLY DON'T RECALL SEQUENCE, I WAS TERRIFIED (HAVE HAD A CAR RUN AWAY WITH ME LONG AGO). BUT I DO KNOW IT WAS REV'ING HARD, I WAS SO TERRIFIED I DID NOT NOTE IF ANY DASH LIGHTS WERE ON, OR WHAT THE TACH (?) WAS DOING. RAV WAS IN DRIVE, I PUSHED LEVER TO N AND FINALLY TO PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN. I HAD PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, SO FIRED IT UP, AND IT WAS 'NORMAL' BRAKES NO LONGER HARD. I CAUTIOUSLY PULLED OUT INTO THE LANE AND MADE IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. IT TRIED ONE MORE TIME TO DO A REV WHEN I PUT THE BRAKES ON, BUT NOT LIKE THAT FIRST TIME AS I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF AND PUT INTO NEUTRAL/PARK. TOYOTA SERVICE PERSON SHOWED CONCERN AND DROVE THE RAV AROUND FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPEAT THIS. HE THINKS MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE THE SHOP BYPASS THE AUTOMATIC STOP ENGINE THING, PERMANENTLY BUT THERE'S NOT LONGER A WAY TO DO IN NEWER RAVS. SO PUSHED THE A BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF AND FEAR DRIVING IT. SERVICE MAN WAS GOING TO CALL ME BACK IF HE COMES UP WITH ANYTHING. HE MAY NOT RECALL THE UNINTENTIONAL ENGINE REVS OF A FEW YEARS AGO IN TOYOTAS, WHICH CAUSED ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. IT WAS NOT THE FLOOR MATS I ONLY HAVE THE RUBBER ONES, 'BOLTED DOWN". FIRST FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE RAV MADE BEARING-LIKE GRINDING NOISES WHEN THE AUTO STOP WAS TURNED OFF SO TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN A ON OR OFF, VEHICLE JERKS COMING TO A STOP AND WHEN MOVING FORWARD AFTER A STOP. CAR HAS <4000 MILES. BOUGHT NEW. *TR

ON LIGHT ACCELERATION FROM AN INTERSECTION AND/OR MILD CRUISING SPEED IN ECO MODE, THERE IS AN OFTEN VIOLENT LURCH FROM STOP OR SURGING AT CRUISING SPEEDS. WITH TRACTION CONTROL SWITCHED OFF, THE PROBLEM IS LESSENED, BUT TRACTION CONTROL BY DEFAULT TURNS BACK ON IN <ONE MINUTE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH MARIETTA AND WORLD TOYOTA THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, LIKELY RELATED TO DRIVE-BY-WIRE, AND THAT TOYOTA HAS NO PLANS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS TO JUSTIFY THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF A "FIX". WE LIVE IN ATLANTA, WHERE TRAFFIC IS INTENSE AND RELIABILITY IS KEY. THIS IS OUR 14TH TOYOTA AND FIRST PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN IGNORED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT GUIDANCE FROM TOYOTA CORPORATE. WE ARE MARKEDLY LIMITING OUR USE OF THE VEHICLE (3K MILES IN 7+ MONTHS) DUE TO RISK OF COLLISION. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AFTER WE HAD DRIVEN THE CAR FOR ONE MONTH.
