Description of the problem	Coming to a red light i applied my brakes to slow the car and the brake felt a little hard and were very slow to react. Because i had allowed enough distance to the light i was able after a moment or to feel the car begin to stop. Very frightening because it felt like i was not going to be able to stop the car before the reaching the traffic light at the intersection. I reported the incident to my toyota dealer and they thought they needed to reset the computer. After checking it out they could not find any problem. Over the next two years this anomaly occurred several times and each time i had them check but no resolve was found. On 8-17-14 the dealership had me complete their survey of these occurrences and performed a series of diagnostics. Their conclusion was that my foot may have been hitting both the accelerator and brake simultaneously on those occasions plus they ask me to remove a rubber mat which had been over the car's accessory carpet mat. That rubber mat has remained out of the car ever since. I felt that both of those remedies could not have been the cause as if that were the case these incidents would have happened more frequently. My suspicion is that it is either electrical or mechanical anomalies that only occur rarely. I believe i have been fortunate to date that when these prior episodes have taken place the conditions were manageable. My primary concern is what if conditions were not so.. I. E. Highway travel at greater speed, heavier traffic, and wet or icy road conditions... A scenario that begs very serious, if not tragic, results... Very frightening circumstances to ponder indeed. This unintended acceleration mystery needs to be more deeply addressed.

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.
