Description of the problem	We had a toyota rav4, bought new in 2007. We had about 5200 miles on it, when, on may 19 ,2010, while parking the car in the garage, i put the gear in reverse , with my foot on the brake. The engine suddenly surged, the rpms went above 5000, and in spite of my pressing hard on the brake, the car shot over 1yard out the garage. I put the car in park, and the engine continued at this high speed . I used the key to shut it down. All the lights on the dash shone with an unusual brightness during this event. I called the dealer, metro toyota, and they told me to bring the car in, which i did , late in the day. The next day, they called me, told me there was nothing wrong with the car, and that the reason of the acceleration was the "rug". The rag was removed, and i picked up the car. Obviously, i drove it home with great care. The next day, in traffic, i was approaching a red light, with a car stopped in front of me, down a little slope on the road. I kept a safe distance of 3-4 car lengths behind the car in front of me, foot lightly on the brake, when the car again surged, but i managed to control it barely avoiding rear ending the car in front of me . Very early next morning, i took the car back to the dealer, where it was kept for over 2 weeks, no attempt to repair was done, with the word that the car checked ok.

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?
