Description of the problem	About 8 or 9 months ago, i was doing maybe 45 miles per hour when all of a sudden the rpms went wild, the engine howled, and my 2007 toyota rav4 limited sped off as if someone had dumped a boulder on the accelerator pedal. My heart was in my throat as i tried to stop the car. Pressing the brake hard didn't do it. I then stuck my foot underneath the accelerator pedal and pushed up with the toe of my shoe a few times. That worked and subsequently i could depress the brake and the car responded normally. I assumed at the time that maybe the driver's-side floor mat had somehow crept up and impeded the free operation of the pedal, a theory that toyota headquarters also seemed to find plausible (though not for the rav4, apparently). So i threw out the mat and didn't replace it with anything. We have dirty carpeting now, but we are alive. Of course, in recent weeks, the world has learned that millions of toyotas are potentially afflicted with a sticky accelerator pedal. Two weeks ago, we drove our car to the dealer, downeast toyota in brewer, maine, when it was time for its 60,000-mile service anyway, and we insisted that the accelerator be replaced. We discovered later that they hadn't done so, even though we advised them clearly that we? D had a potentially life-threatening incident involving the accelerator. The reason they will not replace the accelerator, they told my wife, is because toyota believes that the 2007 rav4 has no accelerator problems. In other words, our car is not part of the recall, so we're out of luck no matter what i've personally experienced.

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.
