Hi

Car was stopped at the intersection on red light.
Slight pressure was applied to break pedal to keep car from moving.
Sudenly RPM went up and car start moving forward.
More pressure to break pedal did not help and car
end up in the middle of intersection while red light was still on. Switching to neutral and turning ignition off
stoped the car.

Is there any info in the car computer about ubnormal process and can it be downloaded?

Looking for second opinion from authorized dealer. Please advise.

Have Toyota download new software into PCM to prevent this.

Toyota is supposed to download a software that cuts engine power when brake is applied.
