| I backed up in reverse and then put 2003 rav 4 into drive expecting to go forward when motor began to race and car flew backward over 12-foot high embankment into woods while engine continued racing. car did not roll over but swung around 130 degrees in a flat area and came to a stop facing a tree 4 feet straight ahead. a second or two later the car then leaped forward into the tree with engine roaring, car continued to race at high rpms with front bumper wrapped around tree. the only way i could stop the high revs was to turn off the ignition. i injured my back. | |||
