Toyota Australia has recalled the new Toyota RAV4 mid-size SUV over a possible production defect that could cause its suspension to break. As such, affected owners are being asked to drive with caution
Toyota recalled the RAV4 twice in the US for "unintended acceleration" problems, which sounds uncannily like your problem. The first recall was, the company claimed, because the carpet could move forward and over the accelerator, the second was because the accelerator pedal could "stick". There was also some suspicion that there was also a problem with the 'fly-by-wire' throttle, but nothing has been found on that front. I would urge you to report the problem to Toyota directly and ask that they inspect your car.
