| 2010 | ENGINE | SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE ABOVE VEHICLE ON JUNE 17, 2010 I WAS IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE RACED TO A VERY HIGH SPEED AND I HAD TO QUICKLY PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID LUNGING FORWARD. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN WHICH I IMMEDIATELY DID. WITHOUT PERFORMING ANY CHECKS ON THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE MANAGER AND I WENT FOR A DRIVE AND HE CONCLUDED IT WAS THE MANNER I WAS MOVING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT CAUSED IT TO OCCUR. FOR A WHILE I WAS SATISFIED WITH HIS ANSWER BUT ON ANOTHER OCCASION ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I THOUGHT I HAD SUBCONSCIOUSLY DID THE SAME THING WITH MY FOOT TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER THIS PAST THURSDAY I WAS AGAIN STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT INTO FULL THROTTLE AND MY FOOT WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO QUICKLY PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO AVOID MOVING INTO THE INTERSECTION AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *JB |
