Description of the problem	I was coasting to a stop at a red light with my foot on the brake and as i applied the brake harder to come to a complete stop the engine began to uncontrollably race and the car began to accelerate. I applied the brake as hard as i could, flipped the transmission into park and turned off the engine, missing the car in front by inches. I waited approximately 10-15 seconds, restarted the car with my foot on the brake and the transmission in park and the engine began to uncontrollably race again. I turned off the engine and waited approximately 2 minutes re-started the car and it started somewhat roughly but the unintended acceleration stopped and i was able to move the car off the road. When i parked the car i checked that the floor mat was firmly anchored and nowhere near the accelerator pedal and it was. Prior to the incident i was braking and the car was slowing appropriately so it doesn't seem that the accelerator pedal itself became stuck. I was able to drive the car safely to the dealer and notified toyota.
