Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My highlander hybrid: pushed start button, and behaved normally. Upon being placed in gear, the vehicle attempted to accelerate as if the gas pedal was pushed to the floor. Only heavy brake pressure prevented a seriously dangerousness condition of full acceleration in a small parking lot. When placed in park, the throttle reduced to idle. I repeated the action of placing the car in gear (either reverse or drive), and again, the throttle advanced to a full acceleration mode. Again, only very heavy pressure on the brake prevented uncontrolled acceleration. I parked the vehicle, and called my local toyota dealer. After being placed on hold several times, i left a voice mail with the service department. I also went online to toyota to the customer hotline, and left a detailed email with vin, problem description, and expressed a concern for a serious safety defect.
