Description of the problem	I own a 2009 toyota highlander hybrid. It has had three instances of unintended low speed acceleration since i purchased it in june 2009. The first time it happened, it was so unexpected and unconventional that i thought it must have been a mistake in my perception. The second time it happened i was more aware because it had happened once before. And the third time even more so. Now i am alert for the event and will try to record it as accurately as possible if it happens again. As best i can describe it, i was slowing down, almost to a stop. It is at the point where you have slowed the car by braking, then take your off the brake or lighten the braking prior to the final braking which brings you to a full stop without a small jolt. I probably was traveling between 5 and 10 miles per hour. I had my foot off the gas and believe probably off the brake as well. All of a sudden the car accelerated. I depressed the brake and the car stopped normally. I have not worked on cars in years, but did extensively when i was a teenager. So i think of my senses as reasonably attentive to the sounds and motions of vehicles which indicate that something is amiss. Hope this helps.
