Description of the problem	Unintended acceleration o f toyota rav4 with "fixed" accelerator pedal within 50 miles of driving: 0n coming to traffic stop engine revved up to an audible high speed. To prevent a collision i applied intensive pressure to brake pedal while setting hand brake. Car stlill seemed to be in forward roll mode, so i pushed gear shift from drive thru neutral,reverse and into park. Engine speed returned to normal idle without further incident. I then drove 40 some miles to return home. On 3/27 i took car to the dealer to report that the accelerator pedal modification was a failure. I took delivery of this new car on 7/31/09. Within about 300 driving miles of accumulated mileage, the 1st unintended acceleration occurred required added pressure to brake pedal & use of hand(emergency) brake to stop car & end abnormal engine speed. Gear shift remained in drive. I had 3 to 4 such incidents within approx. 2400 miles comprising 40-50 trips, none longer than 100 miles. Most of my driving is highway type, which does require intermittent but infrequent traffic stops. About 200 miles occurred in city-type conditions (frequent traffic stops) which were spread over about 12 of the aforesaid trips. All the ua situations occurred under the city-type conditions. I made several trips to the dealer to report the incidents and to obtain help. After the 1st one the service department checked the car & found nothing with the car's safe operability. I took the car back for service after the incident which was post safety recall pedal modification. The response was that this was the first that they had heard of a "fix" failure. Toyota appears to cling to the sticky floor mat or simultaneous pressure to accelerator and brake pedals.

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?
