Description of the problem	I have a 2008 rav4, it has been accelerating on a small scale for the last three months. I took it in to my dealer and was told that my parts were made in japan and not north america, and they found nothing. About a week later my husband, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were headed to a hockey game. I was driving, we were coming up on a red light when i started to apply the brakes, at the same time the vehicle started to accelerate. This was much more than had happened before. I stood on the brake and flew through the redlight, i screamed for my husband to put it in neutral, he had trouble doing so. I thought we were all dead. The person that had the green light must have seen we were having a problem, as he stopped to let us race through. It slowed after a bit, and went back to normal. When we were accelerating i noticed the rpms to be over 3, i couldn't watch it that closely for fear i would completely lose control of the vehicle. We returned the vehicle to the dealer and was told that we would have to call california and put in a complaint. We did that and were given a case number. After four days of no return call we called the dealer and asked for an update as to what would go on now. They said that someone would have to come and inspect the vehicle, i asked if we could have a loaner and i was told not until toyota decides there is a problem. My car has been in the dealers hands for a week today and we have no car. Although toyota reps have been pleasant, we don't feel that they really know what is going on. We have been told that it will be inspected tomorrow. We will wait for the call, but will not receive the car until it is fixed and there is a guarantee that it won't do it again. I will not kill myself or anyone else because of this issue.

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?
