Description of the problem	After completing a 5 block downhill drive in second gear with little use of either the accelerator or the brake, i then braked as i turned into my garage in order to park my vehicle. As i entered my garage and while still braking and at slowing speed the vehicle's engine suddenly accelerated and the vehicle lurched forward violently. I immediately applied heavy brake pressure and up shifted in an attempt to take the vehicle out of gear. My braking may have slowed, but did not stop, the vehicle's forward acceleration. When i put the vehicle into park, the wheels locked, forward progress stopped (just in front of the back wall of my garage), and i shut the engine off using the ignition switch. I did not think of trying to turn off the ignition switch first and i did not have time for different options; i had only a few seconds to get the vehicle under control or it would have hit the back wall of my garage. Once the engine was stopped, i waited a few seconds, restarted the vehicle (which started normally), and then backed into my parking space. I have not used the vehicle since. The consumer stated he experienced sudden acceleration twice in 4 years. Updated 04/08/14

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.
