Description of the problem	An afternoon during august or early september 2009 i was driving my 2005 highlander in a high traffic route when the accelerator pedal got stuck down, leading to an initial high speed and steadily high rpms (6-7000). I was able to control the speed by stepping down the brake pedal with both feet while keeping exceedingly high rpms on heavy traffic. In the emotional and physical stress of the moment, i was able to drive to a building entrance. With the car on "parking" position, the rpms kept high and did not decrease despite stepping further on the accelerator pedal trying to "unstuck" it, which was unsuccessful. Finally i turned off the ignition. After turning the car back on, the problem did not recurred. I took the car to its regular maintenance service in harr toyota (100 gold star blvd., worcester, ma) in sept. 19, 2009, explained the event, they documented it, and applied the 60f carpet clip recall. There has been no similar incident since then. I reported the incident to toyota company with documentation # 1002135597. Toyota claims they will not apply the current recall accelerator fix to my car because it is not on the official recall and the car was built in japan (based on vin), with a different accelerator pedal design and construction.
