Description of the problem	My 2004 toyota matrix has expereinced sudden acceleration while my foot was on the brake several times since i have purchased it; i have always been able to stop the car from moving forward by further depressing the brake. But on saturday march 26 while at a stop sign, the sudden acceleration happened again and i was unable to immediately stop my car from lurching forward. It moved several inces into oncoming (perpendicular) traffic before i finally threw it into park and pulled the emergency brake to stop it. No accident occurred but it came close, and i had my toddler in the back seat, so i consider this a serious matter. I took it to my dealership (ourisman toyota in chantilly, va) that monday, and they kept it for two days. They ran all diagnostic tests possible and found no problem. Nothing was fixed because no test showed a problem but i am scared to drive my car -- the sudden acceleration happens only randomly and cannot be predicted. I drive with only one foot so this is not a case of two-footed driving and accidentaally stepping on the accelerator. In each case my foot was off the accelerator and on the brake. *ak

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.
