 Description of the problemIn the past 6 months i have experienced 5 events where the car accelerated on its own prior to the final events leading up to this report. Several times i experienced the car accelerating without my foot on the gas pedal as i drove through town. The car would go back to its correct rpms after driving a few miles or after the car was stopped and put into park. After experiencing the sudden acceleration the third time i took my vehicle to be checked at my local auto shop. They could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. After 2 more incidents i brought my car to a toyota dealership to be checked. After keeping my car for 2 days they found no unintended acceleration problems and confirmed that the factory mats were installed properly. On 12/28/09 i was driving to work on a major highway. The car began to accelerate without my foot on the gas pedal. As i pushed on the brake, the car continued to accelerate. At that time i was not able to stop my vehicle by pressing hard on the brake. The only way i was able to slow the car down was to put the car into neutral. I took the next exit which was the exit for the toyota dealership. I called the dealership and told the service manager to meet me outside because i was experiencing acceleration problems. I drove approximately 5 miles by alternating from neutral to drive and pressing very firmly on the brakes. As i pulled into the front of the dealership i put the car into neutral and exited the car. With the brakes smoking from the excessive braking and the car's rpm's racing the mnger entered my car. He confirmed that the mats were properly in place and confirmed the rpm's were very high. They contacted a toyota tech to look at my car, after 1 1/2 weeks with my car they were told by toyota to replace the throttle body and accelerator assembly including both sensors. I no longer feel safe driving this car and i am not convinced that toyota has found the root cause of this problem. Received bill invoice from customer. Updated 01/26/10.*jb
