Description of the problem	Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). Please note that the vin info is not correct. I inserted random numbers because i don't have that info in my possession right now as i am at my work desk. Also keep in mind that my car is a 2004 vibe. It did not have that option. In 2/28/08, i had an acceleratation problem. If you get in touch with barstow in potsdam ny, they can verify this. They have it on record. This problem was unpredictable when it happened and the last time it happened, i thought i was going to die. I could not get the car to stop after it accelerated by itself. I brought it to barstow, explained the situation and they said they had had no other complaints such as mine. The mechanic there undid the cruise control, and the problem went away. Five months later i had him put it back on in july. It cost me $25 ea. Time. Please contact ken murray at barstow motors potsdam ny to verify all of this. I would like to be reimbursed for the money i had to pay as i strongly feel that the problem is related to the one that toyota is having now with acceleration difficulties. Also, although i have not had any other problems, i want to know what will toyota do if it happens again. My vibe is a 2004. [xxx]
