Description of the problem	I have a 2009 toyota matrix. I purchased it in november of 2008. In october of 2009 the car had roughly 7,000 miles on it. I experienced my first incident of unintended acceleration. I drove up a hill to a stop sign and as i braked the car lurched forward. I put both feet on the brake and put the car in neutral. I thought that i might have some how had my foot on the gas, so i did not think it was a serious concern. However, i had two more similar incidents in the following months. Both pulling up to stop signs. Both times i heard the engine start to accelerate and was able to control it. When i heard about the toyota recall i immediately called and had my car serviced. The toyota dealer did recall work on my brakes and gas pedal on february 10th, 2010. On february 26th, i was driving about 5 mph in a parking area with my son. I put my foot on the brake and i felt the car push forward. I put my other foot on the brake as well. My son said "its doing it again mom!" i put it in neutral and we both heard the engine wind out like i had pushed the gas pedal to the floor. This obviously means the recall "fix" isn't working! I contacted my dealer and am getting a loaner car. I am very concerned what this means in terms of future safety and my monetary investment in this car.

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.
