2008 TOYOTA RAV4 (35K MILES) PURCHASED IN 12/07. AFTER A 40 MILE DRIVE, WE WERE SITTING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR APPROX 20 MINUTES. DURING A STOP, THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING LOUDLY AND LUNGED FORWARD. WITH BOTH FEET STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO CREEP FORWARD UNTIL HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. THEN THE CAR WAS PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND IGNITION WAS SHUT OFF. THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. AFTER SETTLING DOWN, AND DISCUSSING THE ACCIDENT WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE, NO DAMAGE TO THEIR CAR, SO NO NEED TO FILE AN ACCIDENT REPORT. WE CALLED TOYOTA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. AND TOOK THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE NEAREST DEALER. AFTER A CHECKING OUT THE CAR, THEY FOUND NO ISSUES, AND SAID THE CAR WAS 'TO TOYOTA'S SPECIFICATIONS', AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE HOW IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
