Description of the problem	While driving my 2005 toyota matrix with 40,000 miles, i was pulling into a parking space, car was not even going 1 mile an hour, had taken my foot off of the gas pedal, did not even have a chance to put my foot on the brakes, when the car suddenly accelerated, made a noise, jumped the curb and smashed into a building. The car had $3,000 worth in damages leaving a crack in the brick wall of the building causing structural damage. The sudden, unintended acceleration had nothing to do with the floor mat. Nothing has been done to correct the failure as toyota would not address the issue at all, saying that the matrix was not part of the recall. Toyota has not accommodated me at all with this incident. I am terrified when i drive now that it will happen again, not to mention the worth of the car because of the accident. Due to this i am looking for another vehicle.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
