Description of the problem	On march 28, i was driving our 2010 toyota highlander that we purchased at the end of december 2009 in a residential area when the gas pedal stuck and i was unable to apply the brakes to stop it. Luckily i was able to put it in neutral gear and coast to the side of the road without property damage or injury to anyone. I then called the 911 and the police came out. This car was involved in the recall and the fix was completed a few weeks ago. No one was available at any toyota dealership to come out and pick up the car, so i had it towed using aaa to a local dealership. I had my four children in the car with me and can testify as to what happened. This is ridiculous. Their fix has nothing to do with what is really wrong with these cars. I loved toyota until this happened. Something needs to be done before people get hurt from these cars. By the way, your form requires a speed and a mileage, but i do not have the car to get the mileage, nor do i remember the speed because it started once i applied the gas and it happened so fast, so i approximated both in the complaint. *cn
