1.twice within 1st year: the car accelerated quickly while i was driving on the road; it was hard to stop. i thought the floor mat was under the gas pedal. later, the car suddenly revved up and accelerated as i was leaving a parking lot. after i took my foot off of the gas, it kept increasing speed. nothing was in the way of the pedal that time. i was able to gain control. (the service tech told me the experience i relayed to him was not possible.) still, the car accelerates by itself, most recently three days ago. i had it set at 60 mph on cruise control. it wouldn't stay at 60. i had to decrease the cruise speed 3 or 4 times. i routinely have to manually reduce the cruise control speed by bumping the lever down. i have become used to this malfunction. toyota employees denied a defect and refused to repair the faulty parts. during the first 18 months, i took my car in approximately 20 times. no repairs were made. 2.rain enters above the driver | |||

Merging onto the freeway into fast-moving traffic, the car hesitated for several seconds before it downshifted and started to accelerate. on-coming cars had to brake and honked at me. that can be a dangerous situation. the car also hesitates when just slowing down to turn a corner. it takes 5 to 10 seconds for the car to accelerate. *tr | |||
