Description of the problem	On may 9, 2007 we purchased a new 2007 toyota highlander. About a month later it unexpectedly accelerated and ran through the end of our carport while being driven in to park. Luckily no one was in front of it. The auto sustained about $650 in damages and the carport received similar monetary damages. About a month later we had a similar incident while parking in a parking lot. At first we attributed the incidents to my wife's foot someway slipping off the brakes and on to the accelerator. Now, after the recent national publicity, we are not so sure. Perhaps the accelerator mechanisim or software in this vehicle is defective in this model toyota also. In the mean time, i now wonder if this model vehicle is safe to drive. I will bring this issue up to our toyota dealer in the near future. I hope this information will be useful in helping the government and toyota to solve this important issue.
