Description of the problem	Uncontrollable acceleration in a 1998 toyota corolla. Merging onto 35w s at county c. Accelerated for merge. Took foot off accelerator after merging. Car kept accelerating. Pressed on brake and put on hand brake. This only slowed acceleration. I got over to the fast lane. Car was doing more than 70 mph at this stage. I decided to take foot off brake, release hand-brake and press down accelerator peddle. This increased acceleration, but on taking foot off accelerator, the car slowed. At this stage i had missed my exit for highway 280. I was very fortunate that the highway was not busy at the time. Date is very approximate. Incident occurred during winter of 2001 or winter of 2002 or winter of 2003. I still drive the same car and have not had any incident similar since. At the time of the incident, i had pressed the accelerator as far as the floor. Since that time, i have been more restrained with pressing the accelerator pedal.
