Experienced sudden acceleration on many occasions especially after going at substantial speeds such at 45-50 miles and hour where the car will surge to even higher speeds with constant or little pressure on the gas. This car drives unlike any car we've had before in that you can't maintain constant pressure on the throttle you have to constantly accelerate and then drift in order to stay within speed limits. Keeping…

The dealer argued that i have…

This is in regard to the toyota gas pedal recall. I have a 2006 rav4 and did in fact experience an acceleration problem once back in 2007 or 2008. It was very brief and the car recovered quickly. I was only going 35 or 40. I played with the gas pedal and it stopped. It did not happen again, but now am concerned because according to the vin number and year of my car, it actually isn't included in the recall and maybe…

I own a 2006 toyota rav4 4cyl, 4wd. I currently have just under 15k miles and i've had an issue with the car hesitating (or the throttle lagging).

It usually happens if i'm trying to merge into faster traffic, or at times when i'm taking a slow…
