Description of the problem	I have a 2008 toyota rav4. I had an incident in the fall of 2009 where, as i was braking and slowing down, my engine revved up without my touching the gas pedal, and i stepped on the brake and put my car in neutral. Didn't understand what had just happened but thought it was maybe my fault somehow. In early dec. I pulled into a parking space, front end forward, and there was another parked car opposite my car, facing mine. As i was slowing down and braking, the engine revved and i had to slam my foot on the brake to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I called my dealership immediately from my cell phone, right there in my car, and told them what happened. They asked me if i was wearing "heels", did i step on the accelerator by mistake, did the floor mat get caught?... And i said no to all of that. I went in the next day to service, and they spent several hours looking at my car, checking things out. When they were finished, they said they "couldn't make my car do what i told them it did". Could not find a problem. Asked again about shoes, wrong pedal, etc. Since then, i had one more experience with acceleration at the top of a hill where took my foot off the gas and the motor continued to accelerate. Right about that time the news of the toyota problems was beginning. I called my dealership and asked why i had not received a letter about a recall. I was told that my toyota had been built in japan and therefore it does not have the accelerator problem and is not on the recall list. What do i do now??

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.
