Description of the problem	I was driving my 2008 toyota avalon in traffic north of houston and floored it to get on an exit ramp in front of another car. When i took my foot off the accelerator the engine continued to run at high revs and i had to push hard on the brake to keep the car from continuing to accelerate while going up a steep ramp. After about 3 seconds the revs dropped and everything continued as normal. This happened on july 17, 2009. Then, in december of 2009 i was driving on a side street when a truck ran a stop sign and was going to hit me. I floored it to get out of the way and again the car continued to accelerate after i took my foot off the gas. I remembered hearing a report about the potential of floor mats causing the pedal to stick so i hit the brakes, put the car in neutral and reached down and pulled on the floor mat. The out of control acceleration again lasted about 3 to 4 seconds. I don't know if the floor mat was causing it to stick or not. I had a rubber mat on top of the mat that i bought with the car that hooks into the floor board. I don't think that mat ever interfered with the pedal. I looked at it closely and it does not seem possible. But i took it out anyway. I have a 2007 toyota tundra crew cab and this has never happened to it but i have never floored that truck either. The car had about 20,000 miles on it when it happened the first time and about 24,000 the second time.

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?
