Description of the problem	I was told my 2009 rav4 was not subject to the toyota recall. Yet i have experienced involuntary acceleration on two occasions. Both times i was slowing down to make a left hand turn, having almost slowed to a stop when the rpm's accelerated to 5,000 - 6,000. The first time i was slowing down from 30 mph to about 10 mph when the car sped forward as i was turning. I almost hit a sign on a median but was able to stop the car by slamming on the brakes. This was in november 2009 over three months after the rav4 was purchased but before i knew about the recall. I brought the vehicle into the kolosso toyota dealership for the fix a few weeks ago. I was not told my car was not part of the recall but was told i was "all set" for the time being but that there may be additional fixes required in the future that were still being evaluated. Today, this involuntary acceleration occurred again. I had been traveling on a two lane highway. Speed limit was 50 mph. I had slowed down, almost to a stop in preparation to turn left. The car was going less than 10 mph, my foot was on the brake pedal when the rpm's suddenly shot up to 5,000 - 6,000. I pressed down on the brake harder and put the car in neutral to stop it from propelling forward. It took many some time for the engine to stop revving. This nearly caused an accident into oncoming traffic. When i called toyota about this, as i was afraid to continue driving the car, i learned that my car was not part of the recall because i had a denso gas pedal. Toyota tried to minimize the incident and indicated i could continue driving it to a dealership about 25 miles away. I refused to do so and had the vehicle towed at my dealer's expense back to my city of residence.

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.
