Description of the problem	The car accelerated on it's own, brakes were locked !!! I made a left turn after a stop sign and the car just took off on it's own - accelerating up to 50 miles per hour. I slammed on the brakes, but they were locked. I quickly put the car in neutral, it slowed the car down about 10-12 miles. To avoid cars in front of me - i then put the car in park. After an ugly noise and jerking of the car... It did stop! There were no injuries or property damage. It was a horrific experience. The car was in full throttle! Had it towed to a mechanic..... It was still at full throttle when he looked at it a couple days later. He advised me to call toyota. Toyota said it was out of warranty. I just want my car fixed,
