Description of the problem	While pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy street i pressed the accelerator hard at which time it became stuck. I tried braking hard but the car continued to accelerate at which time i remembered hearing about a recall involving floor mats. I yanked the floor mat back while continuing to brake and shortly thereafter the car stopped accelerating. I would estimate it was stuck for about 5 seconds, maybe a quarter mile distance. After returning home and moving the floor mat around i do not see how it could have been up under the gas pedal and if it was how it could have interfered with the operation of the gas pedal. The floor mat is a vinyl/plastic, rigid, relatively thin and bought aftermarket (not the carpet floor mat that came with the car). I removed the floor mat altogether. Reading about the latest recall prompted me to file this report even though no accident was caused nor damage done to the vehicle.*cw

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.
