TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 02, 2010.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . my wife was sitting at a signalized intersection in our 2009 toyota rav 4 on tuesday february 2, 2010 with her foot on the brake, when the vehicle suddenly lurched forward. she was able to keep the vehicle from traveling further by applying more pedal pressure on the brake and then shifting into neutral. while in neutral, the engine revved loudly for about 10 seconds before returning to normal idle. she brought the vehicle home but was visibly shaken up from this experience. i immediately called the toyota dealership and was told to take the vehicle in for them to check. they could not replicate this condition and thus said there's nothing that can be done at this time. this is one of the vehicles that does not have the so-called faulty sticking accelerator pedal, and floor mats did not cause this issue, so this leads me to suspect that an electronics problem is the cause and that toyota is refusing to come up with a viable fix for the situation. i called the toyota main office this morning, but was not given any satisfaction regarding this issue. meanwhile, we are stuck with a vehicle that we are both afraid to continue driving. *tr.Mileage was 3415 miles.

Toyota Rav4 2009 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10305072

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Oct 14, 2009.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . given the news about toyota accelerator pedal issues and now 2010 prius abs issues, i feel it's important to report the following: in october 2009, my 2009 toyota rav4 experienced the following issue (this is taken directly from toyota dealer's service invoice): "customer states brake pedal goes to the floor and doesn't feel like the vehicle is stopping properly. please advise. depresses all the way happens intermittently. tech verified customer concern poor brake pedal case # ta092880189. replaced master cylinder/replace abs actuator. replace abs actuator per tech assist rec opn # 44050-42330." in other words, we had observed that when applying the brake pedal, it often depressed quickly and nearly all the way to the floor before providing normal brake pedal resistance and braking action sufficient to slow and stop the car's forward progress, and at that point with very little brake pedal physical depression space left before reaching the pedal's limit. after i originally brought the issue to my local toyota dealership (lexington toyota, lexington, ma, 781.861.7400), they informed me they had not previously seen this issue and had to consult with toyota's u.s. headquarters for troubleshooting aid. then for several days the dealership provided me with ongoing updates, explaining that toyota was actively investigating the matter and did not have an immediate recommended solution. this went on for nearly a week, and so it seemed to me that this was a problem toyota hq had not prevously encountered. finally the dealership reported that toyota hq had provided a resolultion, the repair work was done, and we got our rav4 back and have had no brake pedal problems since. according to our local dealer, our rav4 was manufactured in japan and therefore isn't subject to the current accelerator pedal recall but does require the floormat-related recall fix. *tr.Mileage was 5000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTMBF33V19D. Toyota Rav4 2009 problem was reported in ARLINGTON, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

Toyota Rav4 2009 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10305253

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 11, 2010.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . gas pedal stuck on my 2009 rav4 and i hit the rear of the car in front of me at a 4 way stop. i was able to engage the brakes but the distance/time was too short for the brakes to over come the acceleration. in front of the car that i hit was a pedestrian crossing--if it were not for the car in front of me i would have struck pedestrians. before the accident i did not detect any evidence of a problem. the pedal failure was a one time incident. after the accident (before the recall) it never occurred to me that there was a mechanical problem--i assumed somehow that i had my foot on both accelerator and brake. however after spending much time in my driveway i could not replicate having my foot push both the gas pedal and brake pedal. my wife and i agreed that she would drive the rav4--and i would not. soon after my accident the 2009 rav 4 recall for sticking gas pedal was announced. i am absolutely sure that the sticking gas pedal caused the accident. since the date of the recall (january 21) we parked the car in our driveway. we will not drive our rav4 i contacted my dealer (lombard toyota, lombard il)--they replied that as a dealer they could only recommend that i call toyota's customer experience number after a couple days i was able to get through to the "toyota experience" line--over the next several days i was passed up the line until i was able to speak to a case manager. on january 27the a toyota field technician came to my house and inspected my car. since then i have heard nothing from toyota. *tr .Vehicle was involved in a crash.

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 20, 2010.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i was told my 2009 rav4 was not subject to the toyota recall. yet i have experienced involuntary acceleration on two occasions. both times i was slowing down to make a left hand turn, having almost slowed to a stop when the rpm's accelerated to 5,000 - 6,000. the first time i was slowing down from 30 mph to about 10 mph when the car sped forward as i was turning. i almost hit a sign on a median but was able to stop the car by slamming on the brakes. this was in november 2009 over three months after the rav4 was purchased but before i knew about the recall. i brought the vehicle into the kolosso toyota dealership for the fix a few weeks ago. i was not told my car was not part of the recall but was told i was "all set" for the time being but that there may be additional fixes required in the future that were still being evaluated. today, this involuntary acceleration occurred again. i had been traveling on a two lane highway. speed limit was 50 mph. i had slowed down, almost to a stop in preparation to turn left. the car was going less than 10 mph, my foot was on the brake pedal when the rpm's suddenly shot up to 5,000 - 6,000. i pressed down on the brake harder and put the car in neutral to stop it from propelling forward. it took many some time for the engine to stop revving. this nearly caused an accident into oncoming traffic. when i called toyota about this, as i was afraid to continue driving the car, i learned that my car was not part of the recall because i had a denso gas pedal. toyota tried to minimize the incident and indicated i could continue driving it to a dealership about 25 miles away. i refused to do so and had the vehicle towed at my dealer's expense back to my city of residence. *tr.Mileage was 12707 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 27, 2010.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . our rav4 was apparently not included in the last recalls but i now believe this is incorrect. on 2/27 i rear-ended a truck going about 30-35 mph. i originally thought i had missed the brake pedal and by the time i realized the car was not stopping i had to slam my brakes and tried to turn to miss the car in front of me. after checking further i'm not sure how i would have even been able to entirely miss the pedal. i was very shaken up and thought i had imagined that the car was accelerating after i had originally braked until i overheard my 8 yr old daughter talking to someone else and saying she 'felt like we were going faster instead of stopping". if not for the urging of friends and family and after researching, i'm not sure i would have even thought it was a toyota problem. luckily i was the only person to be injured with a sprained foot, but if this can help to save someone else from a potentially fatal crash i would feel that i have done my part. please push toyota to find out the real problem and get it fixed. i'm not sure how i am even going to be able to drive that truck again without feeling confident that my family and i are safe. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured.

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 15, 2010.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . my wife told me that her toyota rav 4 seemed to surge forward when she was trying to stop. a few days later i was driving her car and was approaching a stop light that had just turned red. i started to slow down and apply the brake and the toyota suddenly accelerated and lurched forward. fortunately, there was no car in front of me or i would have rear-ended it. i immediately put it in neutral and put both feet on the brake and the engine accelerated to approximately 5000 rpm. i turned the ignition off and pulled over. after the engine shut off completely, i restarted the car and managed to get home safely. i called the dealer, leith toyota, and they said to bring the car in right away. they kept the car several days and ran some tests, drove the car but because they were unable to replicate the same mechanical or electronic problem, they could not or would not do anything to fix the problem. so i feel that i am left with a vehicle that is not safe to drive. after learning that so many people have had the same problem, it is now obvious that toyota and leith toyota sold us this vehicle knowing the problem existed. the government needs to hold toyota and the dealerships responsible and liable for any accidents that occur from this problem and reimburse consumers that purchased and own vehicles that are unsafe due to this mechanical/electronic problem..Mileage was 18500 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 11, 2010.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . as i drove into our parking lot at work after lunch, i was idling engine with foot on brake as i pulled into a parking spot. i was already making my turn into the parking spot with foot on brake and engine idling when my car began to rapidly accelerate. i responded by applying foot brake and grabbing and pulling the emergency brake but only had about 15 - 20 feet before hitting a concrete wall at the bake of the parking spot. i managed to not hit hard enough for the air bags to deploy but there is damage to my front bumper and hood. this is the only time my car has done this. i bought it new last aug. 09 and it has approx 12,432 miles. toyota took it to quality imports toyota and "investigated" it and has found no defect. i talked to the inspector over the phone and he explained that he spent a few hours going through a series of tests attempting to find or reproduce a malfunction with no success. he told me that while my report is quite common he has never found a defect to explain sudden unexpected acceleration and that he thinks my car is safe and "he would let his daughter drive my car." i attest to the fact that a sticking accelerator and/or a slowly returning accelerator cannot explain this experience and is no "fix" for my accident. my education is in mechanical engineering and i have been an equipment mechanic on machinery for 15 years. i do not believe that just because you cannot reproduce an electronic problem in a matter of hours that the conclusion should be that there is no defect. it does not excuse the fact that there is a major problem and nothing serious is being "investigated." *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash.

(12,500 miles) (i previously complained about a sticking accelerator after only 1000 miles and involved in the accelerator recall.) on september 21st, i had a rapid acceleration with my 2009 rav4 while my foot was firmly on the brake pedal. my wife was also present and was very frightened by the experience since it occurred when turning a corner near a person holding a pizza sign. i was thankfully able to control the vehicle with firm braking. the sudden burst of acceleration stopped after about a 2 second period of time. due to this experience, my wife now refuses to drive the vehicle . on september 22nd, i again had a rapid acceleration on two different occasions.in both occasions i was beginning to go straight so i was able to continue after the 2 second burst of speed. on september 23rd, i experienced a sticking accelerator pedal even after the accelerator was repaired through a recall on the vehicle. i was traveling around 45 mph when approaching a stop sign and was able to control the vehicle with steady, firm braking. on september 24th, the vehicle was examined by the dealer. i was met with considerable resistance and defensive comments. the service manager sharply stated to me that there has been no evidence of any acceleration problems with toyota vehicles and all the problems were due to driver's faults. he continued that all the lawsuits will be thrown out of court soon. a worker performed a brief drive of the vehicle and computer examination of the systems. they found nothing to indicate any system was defective. due to the attitude of the service manager and the fact that the vehicle was not repaired, we have traded the vehicle to a different dealer and purchased another vehicle after a considerable financial loss on this vehicle. *tr.Mileage was 12500 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 14, 2011.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . on 8-14-2011 my husband was driving our rav4. we had just left a residential house and had been driving through the neighborhood at approximately 30 mph (maximum). as we approached the red stoplight at the neighborhood exit, he took his foot off the accelerator to gradually come to a stop. the vehicle was then moving at less than 5 miles per hour. when he pushed his foot more firmly on the brake to come to a complete stop, the engine starting racing wildly. he then put the vehicle in neutral and turned off the engine. when he restarted the car everything worked fine. a visual inspection verified that the floor mat was nowhere near the gas pedal and the gas pedal moved perfectly (not stuck). considering the circumstances, i cannot believe that either the floor mat or a stuck gas pedal caused this acceleration. fortunately (at least this time), the warnings from toyota and discussions on the internet had mentally prepared us to safely respond in the event that this type of situation occurred, but if an uninformed driver had been driving the car, it is very likely that they would have slammed into the car in front of them. *tr.Mileage was 15000 miles.

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 10, 2011.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . on may 10, 2011 i experienced sudden unintended acceleration and then intermittently until on august 31, 2011 i experienced 3 even more dramatic unintended accelerations within about 40 minutes. i took the car to my nearby mechanic who told me this was something that requires the attention of toyota dealer. the local dealer called in a toyota regional specialist in unintended acceleration who concluded after tests that everything appears to be normal. he did indicate that braking can actually cause revving which sounds like unintended acceleration & perhaps that is what i experienced. he also said that toyota is considering building future models with greater distance between the accelerator and brake pedals & they may also elevate the brake pedal so there is more separation between these 2 pedals and thus less likelihood of one's foot drifting between them. in conclusion, there remains in my mind an uncertainty as to what has been the cause of the unintended and scary acceleration i experienced. it may have been caused by accelerator pedal or ironically by the use of the brake pedal. if the latter, perhaps toyota needs to make an appropriate modification so that neither pedal can cause unintended acceleration..Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2T3ZF33V49W.

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 28, 2011.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . on sunday, august 28, 2011 at approximately 12 in the afternoon, i was driving my family's 2009 toyota rav4 with my wife and infant son, eastbound on highway 44 between winner, sd and platte, sd. with the vehicle's cruise control set at the speed limit of 65 mph, i changed lanes and began to pass the truck ahead of our vehicle on this two-lane country road. increasing the vehicle's speed to 70 mph to complete the pass of the other vehicle and return to the eastbound lane, the toyota rav4 unintentionally accelerated to speeds in excess of 85 mph. at the time of the sudden unintended acceleration, the pedal area was checked and confirmed to be clear of any obstructions, including the vehicle's driver-side floor mat. with the cruise control off and the brakes cautiously applied, the toyota rav4 would not slow down from its state of sudden unintended acceleration. it was determined that the only way to take back control of the vehicle was by completely pressing the brakes to the floor; however, the decrease in speed was gradual at best, and the engine continued to rev out of control. the vehicle's brakes were fully engaged in this way until the vehicle stalled out, partially onto the shoulder of the road at a speed just under 10 mph. again at this time, the pedal area was checked and confirmed to be clear of any obstructions, including the vehicle's driver-side floor mat. over the last two years, the vehicle has had three accelerator pedal recall repairs and one floor mat recall repair completed and is not reprogrammable for the brake override system that is being installed in the newest toyota models. with no crash resulting from the aug. 28 incident, the vehicle was rejected for an inspection or any further services. as this was a very scary and traumatic situation for my family, the toyota rav4 has not been operated under the same driving conditions since the incident. *tt.Mileage was 19750 miles.

Toyota Rav4 2009 Power Train Review #10630560

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on July 07, 2014.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i purchased a used 2009 rav4 with about 78,000 miles. it was a one owner with a clean car fax. it was great during the test drive. about 2 days after i purchased it, it started to make a rattle/rumble/vibration at approximately 40mph and 1500 - 1800rpm. it seems like the noise was coming from the transaxle/transmission area. the noise progressively got worse. it typically happened when on an incline. i took it into a dealer and they flashed the ecu since there were multiple tsbs out with this problem related the ecu. this helped with the problem for a week. then the rumble came back with a vengeance. the dealer worked on diagnosing for a couple of days. the toyota engineers on the technical service line had the dealer's technician taking heat shields, plastic covers off, etc thinking something was just hitting resonate frequency and vibrating loudly. nothing helped. eventually the technician used listening ears and isolated the noise to the transfer case. the official diagnosis was components in the transfer case were failing. i bought this vehicle thinking toyota still were high quality. i've discovered rav4s are basically tin cans on wheels. it makes an amazing amount of creaks and rattles. when i spoke to the toyota customer service representative on the phone i was basically informed toyotas are now designed to go the 60,000 miles (the manufacturer warranty). after that it's anyone's guess how long the mechanical components will last. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 78555 miles.

Toyota Rav4 2009 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10660670

TOYOTA RAV4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 02, 2012.TOYOTA RAV4 2009, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . coming to a red light i applied my brakes to slow the car and the brake felt a little hard and were very slow to react. because i had allowed enough distance to the light i was able after a moment or to to feel the car begin to stop. very frightening because it felt like i was not going to be able to stop the car before the reaching the traffic light at the intersection. i reported the incident to my toyota dealer and they thought they needed to reset the computer. after checking it out they could not find any problem. over the next two years this anomaly occurred several times and each time i had them check but no resolve was found. on 8-17-14 the dealership had me complete their survey of these occurrences and performed a series of diagnostics. their conclusion was that my foot may have been hitting both the accelerator and brake simultaneously on those occassions plus they ask me to remove a rubber mat which had been over the car's accessory carpet mat. that rubber mat has remained out of the car ever since. i felt that both of those remedies could not have been the cause as if that were the case these incidents would have happened more frequently. my suspicion is that it is either electrical or mechanical anomalies that only occur rarely. i believe i have been fortunate to date that when these prior episodes have taken place the conditions were manageable. my primary concern is what if conditions were not so.. i.e. highway travel at greater speed, heavier traffic, and wet or icy road conditions...a scenario that begs very serious, if not tragic, results...very frightening circumstances to ponder indeed. this unintended acceleration mystery needs to be more deeply addressed. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 37000 miles.
