## Narrative
On July 27, 2025 I was pulling into a parking space at a local pharmacy.  I had removed my foot from the accelerator pedal and it was resting on the brake pedal.  My 2024 Hybrid Rav 4  lurched suddenly and then accelerated at a fast rate of speed.  It was as if the vehicle was possessed.  Although I braked, I was not able to stop the vehicle before damage was done to the front end.  I have reported this incident to Toyota and they sent someone to download the analytics from the black box.  I have a copy of that report.  I believe Toyota is responsible for the repair of this vehicle which had less than 5.000 miles on it at the time of the incident.  My vehicle had been serviced at a Toyota dealership on 7/23 for it's 5,000 mile service.  I am now scared of my own vehicle and fear this will happen again.
