I purchased a new Rav4 2009 Toyota and experienced unintended runaway acceleration on three separate occasions. It was first brought to a Toyota dealer in sandy springs, atlanta and was told that the rotors were warped. They were replaced but soon after that repair, it accelerated out of control again and was brought to delray Toyota where I purchased the car. They kept it for 5 days and called to tell me there was "nothing wrong" and unless they experienced the problem during a test drive there was nothing they could do. I had someone drive the car back to my home and it is presently sitting in my garage. Soon after the third incident I was called by the dealer and was told to bring it in. The car was towed to delray Toyota and they told me that the recall did not pertain to my car because the VIN # didn't qualify for replacement of the gas pedal which was recalled on other rav 4's. it was again returned with no repair of this serious safety issue and is presently unusable because I fear that this unintended acceleration problem could cause a serious accident effecting me and others.
