Description of the problem	On may 10, 2011 i experienced sudden unintended acceleration and then intermittently until on august 31, 2011 i experienced 3 even more dramatic unintended accelerations within about 40 minutes. I took the car to my nearby mechanic who told me this was something that requires the attention of toyota dealer. The local dealer called in a toyota regional specialist in unintended acceleration who concluded after tests that everything appears to be normal. He did indicate that braking can actually cause revving which sounds like unintended acceleration & perhaps that is what i experienced. He also said that toyota is considering building future models with greater distance between the accelerator and brake pedals & they may also elevate the brake pedal so there is more separation between these 2 pedals and thus less likelihood of one's foot drifting between them. In conclusion, there remains in my mind an uncertainty as to what has been the cause of the unintended and scary acceleration i experienced. It may have been caused by accelerator pedal or ironically by the use of the brake pedal. If the latter, perhaps toyota needs to make an appropriate modification so that neither pedal can cause unintended acceleration.
