| 2 unintended acceleration instances --- i have had two unintended acceleration instances in a 2006 toyota rav4. in both cases i was wearing boots and the boot hitting the brake overlapped and hit the accelerator at the same time. neither case resulted in a collision. one of the problems here is that the brake pedal fully depressed position is well below the accelerator petal postion so overlap can apply the brake and accelerator at the same time. | |||

| 2006 toyota rav4 suddenly accelerated uncontrollably in a residential district; driver applied standard break which did nothing to slow acceleration, so the driver tried to break the vehicle's momentum by scaling a large chain-linked fence on the driver's side. the car was airborn a few seconds, driver pulled emergency break, hit a stop sign, landed, the vehicle stopped, and smoke was coming from the left side of the front hood. the impact of landing broke the driver's back, caused several bulging lumbar discs, and broke the left foot. to correct the failure the owner of the vehicle has contacted toyota who is sending out their smart team to download information from the car's black box or event data recorder which contains a history of the driver's actions and the history of the car's actions. they should be doing this the week of april 26. | |||

| 2006 toyota rav4, toyota has determined and issued a repair procedure for the fresh air ventilation inlet area as the source of the leak however has not fully disclosed or addressed the potential for mold or mildew growth that may be present as result of the failure. i am forwarding this complaint to your attention as a concern for all 2006 rav4 owners that as a result of this leak could harm occupants that have respiratory diseases.*jb | |||
