Description of the problem	Had just picked up car from lynch toyota and $1,000 worth of repairs including 02 sensor b/c check engine & tpms lights were on. While driving 65 m. P. H. On highway vehicle began accelerating on its' own up to 80 m. P. H. I depressed brake and slowed speed but upon removing foot from brake car began accelerating to 80 m. P. H. A second time, so i made sure my foot was not on gas pedal and depressed brake again which slowed speed but car accelerated a third time to 80 m. P. H. And my foot was not on gas pedal but when i tried to depress brake it resisted and would not engage no matter how hard i pressed, so i jammed down on gas pedal a few times and it "revved" as if in park- doing this seemed to kick the car out of phantom driving mode and allowed me to depress the brake and drive straight back to lynch toyota. Toyota had my car for over a day and said they sent the test results to ca but "could not confirm condition" and it was "operating according to design"- that possible cause was aftermarket floor mat or "pedal mis-application" but the floor mat doesn't reach the brake pedal and this occurred three (3) times over a short time span and i deliberately lifted my foot off the gas pedal so it couldn't be mis-application. There are many reported issues with the 2005 matrix and other years, too as well as other toyota models but each incident ends with toyota failing to confirm any issues but clearly, there are acceleration, pedal or electronic problems.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
