Description of the problem	On 12/28/09, as i started to brake for a red light, my car unintentionally accelerated while i had my foot on the brake pedal. I was able to slow down by braking hard, but the brakes started to smoke. I turned the ignition key to off, and when i turned it on again the problem went away. Nothing was holding down or interfering with the gas pedal as this problem occurred? Not the floor mat, not any clothing or part of my shoe. I am an experienced driver who has never had an accident. My car received major scheduled maintenance from a toyota dealers service department just about a week before this incident. I brought it back to the dealer on 12/29; the mechanic said he could find nothing wrong with the car and could not duplicate the failure.
