Description of the problem	On february 4, 2013 the highlander accelerated three consecutive times. Turned off the engine each time and engine accelerated when coming to a stop each time. On june 16, 2013 the highlander engine accelerated as the car was slowing down before it came to a stop. We have had acceleration problems with two highlanders and two camrys and no answers from toyota as to why accept for them to try and blame it on driver error. When a car is at a stop and accelerating on its own then there is no driver error. Please help us. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
