Description of the problem	Nov., 2003, going 25 mph in heavy traffic i hit a pot hole and the car suddenly accelerated. I had my foot on the brake already as there was a red light ahead and had to use extreme force to stop the car. I put it in neutral and it stopped racing. July 11, 2006 i was traveling at 75 mph and heard a noise as if the car was racing. It was registering 5500 rpms. I slowed to 65-70 and it went down to 5000 rpms. I got off at the next exit and when i came to a stop it returned to normal. For the next hour i traveled at 75 with the car registering approx 2000 rpms. July 31, traveling approx. 25 mph in heavy traffic i tried to slow to avoid hitting the car in front of me as it turned right. It was extremely difficult and i would have hit it if it hadn't turned. Again i had to use significant pressure on the brake to bring it to a stop. As it came to a stop i noticed that it was at 3000 rpms. When it was completely stopped it returned to a normal 500 or so. August 2, 2006 as i was about to ascend a hill, it suddenly accelerated without my applying more gas, but returned to normal when i stepped on the gas. I didn't notice the rpm reading. Today i traded the car in, rather than risk injury to myself or others by continuing to drive it. The toyota dealer was previously unable to duplicate the incidents or find the source of the problem. The dealer is going to try to find the problem. *nm
