While making a left hand turn, as i was coasting into a parking spot at my place of employment, i inexplicably heard my engine race at an alarming pitch and almost simultaneously my car accelerated at an unprecedented rate.

While making a turn under 10 mph the vehicle suddenly accelerated with the foot off the accelerator pedal. This has happened 3 times with 2 trips to the dealership right after. Dealer could not find anything wrong. Only a quick reaction onto the brake pedal stopped the car from hitting something. 2 of the times the vehicle was turning up a slight hill. This needs to be investigated since toyota can't find an issue,…
