Description of the problem	Owner was pulling into a parking space at a grocery store parking lot when vehicle suddenly accelerated forward bumping the concrete parking post. When put in reverse, it again suddenly accelerated bruising a pedestrian. Similar behavior while parking occurred in the same lot a month earlier but only causing damage to the license plate cover. We believe the drivers side floor matt slipped and have removed it. We did take it to the dealer to have the throttle computer board cleaned at the pin connector and map sensors, as had been suggested in an earlier nhtsa report for this car year and model. However, the mechanic said they were not dirty.

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.
