Toyota Rav4 Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Feb 17, 2014
Reported on Feb 17, 2014
| ON 2/17/14 I HAD AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION EVENT AND HIT A CAR. NO ONE WAS HURT. I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA AND FILED A REPORT. ON 2/22/14 TOYOTA RETRIEVED DATA FROM THE VEHICLE CHIP AND EMAILED ME A COPY. DATA SHOWS THAT I WAS BRAKING DURING THE ENTIRE 4.7 SEC PRIOR TO COLLISION. UPON BRAKING, THE MOTOR RPM DROPPED TO 800, THEN SUDDENLY INCREASED TO 2000 WHILE I CONTINUED BRAKING, AND STAYED AT 2000 UNTIL COLLISION. A TOYOTA CASE MANAGER SAID THAT TOYOTA HAD 30 DAYS TO RESPOND. THAT HAS PASSED AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. MY CAR MAY BE UNSAFE. I CANNOT DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF HARM TO MYSELF OR OTHERS SINCE NOTHING HAS BEEN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MY CAR IS IDLE, CAUSING ME SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY. | |
