1. After having driven my toyota rav4 limited edition for about 3 miles, i was turning left into a parking space at the morgantown airport. I had my right foot on the brake pedal to slow down. When i was about 25% into the space, the car lurched forward and the engine began to race spontaneously. I increased pressure on the brake and shifted from drive to park. This caused an immediate decrease in the engine speed.…

This has happened to me three times and to my wife once. As we begin to accelerate, either from a stop or as we are accelerating, we have a pause in acceleration. If feels like we are not pushing on the gas but that is not it. Once the gas pedal is released and we re-accelerate, the car moves forward normally. It has been very scary when someone is approaching and the gas does not move us forward. This has not…

While driving home after grocery shopping, about a 4-mile drive, the vvt-i oil hose "exploded" (the word used by the toyota sunnyvale, ca), causing smokes to come out of the car's engine compartment. Immediately, the kids were pulled out the vehicle and placed in a safe location. We are very concerned about the safety of the 2006 toyota rav4's oil line. What would have happened if the family was traveling farther…

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…
