Description of the problem	My problem is similar to another post on this website. My car would rev high on the rpms when starting it while in park and i would have to put my toe under the gas pedal to stop it and it would have to be repeated if it was still doing it while the car was moving, otherwise the car feels like it is pushing forward. I noticed this happed more often the next day if the car was parked quickly earlier, (but not always) and also happened more with less miles on the car when i first got the one owner used car at a toyota dealership with less than 12000 miles. Had a issue with it when at a 3 way intersection where a car tapped my bumper hard enough to push me forward. The car immediately engaged in the "acceleration mode." luckily i wasn't hit by any other cars while my car pushed itself out into traffic despite putting my foot hard on the brake. I managed to get my toe under the gas pedal to stop the acceleration and put on the brake after turning right. This happed in approx. 2014 or 2015. Never has happened on the highway as of this time. When i had a kia dealership looking at the car for another unrelated problem, they said that they would look at the acceleration problem. Despite inspecting and test driving, the mechanics said they couldn't find any acceleration problems. Yesterday on june 3, 2016 (after leaving our house with rough road out front that is to be repaired,) i was moving forward after stopping at a 4 way intersection, when the car started revving again. I had to brake, throw the car into park, turn on my hazards, and lift up the gas pedal with my toe all at once before going on the highway. Never had this happen while the car was moving until now. I don't know if going over a stone on the rough area of our residential street at approx. 10 mph led to yesterday's problem. There is a sense of loss of control over driving the car when this happens. Help!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
