Description of the problem	I am writing to complain about two acceleration problems recently experienced with my 2009 toyota rav4 vehicle. One involved rapid acceleration experiences and the other a sticking accelerator. (12,500 miles) (i previously complained about a sticking accelerator after only 1000 miles and involved in the accelerator recall.) on september 21st, i had a rapid acceleration with my 2009 rav4 while my foot was firmly on the brake pedal. My wife was also present and was very frightened by the experience since it occurred when turning a corner near a person holding a pizza sign. I was thankfully able to control the vehicle with firm braking. The sudden burst of acceleration stopped after about a 2 second period of time. Due to this experience, my wife now refuses to drive the vehicle . On september 22nd, i again had a rapid acceleration on two different occasions. In both occasions i was beginning to go straight so i was able to continue after the 2 second burst of speed. On september 23rd, i experienced a sticking accelerator pedal even after the accelerator was repaired through a recall on the vehicle. I was traveling around 45 mph when approaching a stop sign and was able to control the vehicle with steady, firm braking. On september 24th, the vehicle was examined by the dealer. I was met with considerable resistance and defensive comments. The service manager sharply stated to me that there has been no evidence of any acceleration problems with toyota vehicles and all the problems were due to driver's faults. He continued that all the lawsuits will be thrown out of court soon. A worker performed a brief drive of the vehicle and computer examination of the systems. They found nothing to indicate any system was defective. Due to the attitude of the service manager and the fact that the vehicle was not repaired, we have traded the vehicle to a different dealer and purchased another vehicle after a considerable financial loss on this vehicle.

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.
