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…

We have a 2006 toyota rav 4. On dec.18, my wife, pulled out of a parking lot and the vehicle started accelerating faster than she wanted to go. She pushed on the foot brake but could not slow or stop the vehicle. When she let up on the brake, it sped up more, and even applying the brake as hard as she could, it did not stop. She bumped into the back of another suv and then a little further on jumped the curb and…

Sluggish throttle response in 2006 4 cyl rav4. Since we owned our new 2006 rav4 we have notice a very sluggish throttle response when stepping on the gas to accelerate either from a stop or when we try to increase speeds. The delay can be up to a couple seconds before the engine revs up and accelerates. This appears to be a dangerous issue when pulling out into traffic and may cause us getting hit because the car…

He stated that this would have been covered if it occurred in the warranty…
