Description of the problem	2007 toyota highlander hybrid, v6, 4x4 --- on november 23rd, 2011, at approximately 10:00am, i was driving with my family on i-5 south in the central valley of california. The cruise control was on, but not engaged because the traffic was too heavy. My speed was approximately 65 miles-per-hour, going uphill. Unexpectedly, the engine began to race. I applied the brakes to keep the car at the speed of traffic and examined my cabin for clues of the problem. The transmission lever was still in "d". I turned off the cruise control, but that made no difference. I momentarily released the brake and used my right foot to ensure that the accelerator was not stuck. It was not. During that time the engine power meter jumped up to full power around 200 kw. I re-applied the brakes to decelerate and brought the car to a stop on the right shoulder of the highway. As soon as the car was completely stopped, i shifted to "p" and turned the key to the off position. Some smoke appeared for about two seconds, which i presumed was from the brakes. I then examined the floor mat, but it was not out of position. I waited about 30 seconds and turned the key back to the on position and the "ready" signal illuminated on the dash. The acceleration problem was gone. I drove about 15 miles to the next exit and stopped for gas. I checked the oil, coolant, and brake fluid levels, which were all good. The problem did not re-occur during the additional 250 miles that i drove during that day. There were no injuries. I called "crown toyota", where i had purchased the vehicle new and spoke to a representative there. He told me that he did not know of any other acceleration problems other than those that were floor mat related.
