The other day I was in the drive thru. As I was waiting in line, my RAV4 randomly lost power and the rpms fell to 0. I had my foot on the brake pedal as this was happening. It scared my family who was in the car with me as we thought the engine died out. The rpms then suddenly jumped back up to normal level at idle and it has driven fine since then. Ive never had anything like this happen before. There is no check engine light on or it doesn't seem to run rough. The AC or defrost might have been on when this happened but I am not totally sure. Any idea why this would be happening?
