Description of the problem	While approaching an intersection on a busy thoroughfare, the light turned yellow and at the last minute i decided against running the yellow light and applied my brakes very hard. The vehicle started to slow down but as i approached the stop line my vehicle continued to slowly move forward no matter how hard i pressed on the brake pedal. At first i thought my brakes had failed, but then i heard the whine of the engine and i realized that i was fighting against an accelerating engine. I put the vehicle in neutral which i thought would kick the accelerator back to normal but the engine was still revving quite high, but i was no longer moving forward. I then shifted to reverse and the vehicle started to back up even though my foot was still on the brake. At that point i placed the vehicle back into neutral and turned the engine off. After about 10 seconds, i restarted the engine and it performed normally. I drove 6 blocks to my destination, parked the car, called the dealership and had the vehicle towed there. I did not feel safe driving the vehicle, as i thought toyota had solved the problem of unattended acceleration. Obviously not. The car is currently at the dealership and i am waiting to hear from them as to what they find. From the reports i have read, i'm not holding my breath. They mentioned that they might have to call for an independent engineer to assess the vehicle, and that might take up to a week. I have no grudge against toyota, as i also own a 2002 camry which has been a fantastic car with no problems. I just don't believe that all the reports out there are because of loose floor mats, sticky accelerators or con artist trying to get money out of a big corporation. Please look into the electronics of these cars as something is not communicating right. Thank you.

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.
