Description of the problem	My highlander was at the airport for three days parked. When i was leaving the lot i was driving slow in the lot to pay my parking. When i got out of the lot to main stream traffic i tried to accelerate and the car would only go slow as i kept pushing the throttle. There were cars on both sides of me with no one in front and then the car just took off. It did startle me because i was not expecting this. Thank god no one was in front of me because i am sure i would not have reacted fast enough to stop because of the rapid acceleration. Something is wrong with the throttle in these vehicles. I did not take it in because i am sure they would not have been able to reproduce the problem. This has only happen once and i hope it doesn't happen again.
