Description of the problem	I was parked in front of a subway restaurant in a strip mall at approximately 7:30 p. M. After eating, my family and i left the restaurant and got into our toyota highlander. I put the car in reverse and backed out of my parking spot just a few feet. (it is a very narrow parking lot and faces a very busy street.) i bumped into a concrete pole that was behind me, that i could not see because of the darkness. I then put the car in drive, so that i could pull back up into my original parking spot and renegotiate how i was going to back out. As soon as i applied a little pressure to the accelerator, the car suddenly seemed to jump forward. Before i could even process what what happening, the car accelerated very, very quickly and i slammed into the brick wall of the subway. There was not even time for me to think about applying the brake, it happened so fast. I felt like i had lost complete control of the vehicle. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but there was property damage to the building and some to my car. I've been driving for 25 years and have no history of tickets or accidents. I do not drink and was not drinking on the night this happened. I was not under the influence of any kind of medication or ilicit substances.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
