Description of the problem	I was turning around in a parking lot (360 degree turn) when the vehicle suddenly accelerated... I hit the brake, the engine continued to race and i tried to put the engine in neutral. I was heading toward a parked vehicle (i would have t-boned it but i swerved), foot depressing the brake to the floor, nothing on the accelerator, engine continued to race and while i tried to put the vehicle in neutral i overshot, threw it into reverse (engine still racing), then park. Engine racing, i shut off the car. Nothing was on the accelerator and the original floor mat replaced by a different style. I had the original recall issue fixed so the accelerator is the new, shortened version. Apparently that fix did not correct the problem. So now what do i do? I can no longer trust this vehicle to operate safely. Nothing should override the brake!!

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.
