Description of the problem	A 2009 toyota rav 4 v6 limited. While driving at low speeds approximately 5 to 10 mph, vehicle suddenly accelerated upon braking without warning. This is very scarry since braking distance can not be determined and has caused near accidents. This has happend about 6 to 8 times and was reported to the dealer on 3 occasions near 5,000 and 25,000 and 27,000 miles. Applying pressure to the brakes in order to keep the vehicle from accelerating increased the acceleration. The toyota service dealer reviewed and test drove the rav 4 twice. On the last occasion, the vehicle was kept over night for a toyota regional manager to investigate at 27,000 miles. The regional manager, after our discussion, indicated he would file a report with toyota. Neither the dealer service manager nor the toyota regional manager were able to duplicate the acceleration when the brakes were applied. No repairs were performed, however the last acceleration upon applying brakes did occur after the pedal recall. The regional manager reviewed the pedal recall installation and assured me it was performed correctly. Both the dealer service manager and the toyota regional manager informed me the acceleration could be user error since the brake is close to the accelerator. The brake and accelerator could be both depressed at the same time. They were both able to do this, hit the brake and the accelerator with one foot when braking. The dealer service manager the showed me how other models have the brake and accelerator further apart. When asked about a brake over ride, the regional manager stated the computer update on a 2009 rav4 v6 could not be adapted to over ride acceleration when braking. The dealer service manager and toyota regional manager offered no further assistance.

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.
