Description of the problem	I was traveling down city street behind several cars & we were approaching a traffic light at intersection, my foot off the gas pedal letting car slow naturally. I heard the motor start revving up quickly, suddenly accelerating by itself. I pushed on the brakes, but car continued to rev up & lurched forward hitting the car in front of me. I pushed harder on the brakes, even trying to pump them but my car hit the car in front of me again & then my car finally stopped & i turned off the motor. What a scary situation!! Thank god no one was injured only damage to both vehicles! We filed a police report & i had the rav towed to the toyota dealer where it remains parked. I will not drive it again because i am scared to death of what could of or what might happen. A claim was filed with toyota headquarters, claim # [xxx]. A third party, engineer, came out to dealer's to inspect, check black box, etc. Of course, with an 18 page report & extensive checking he could not recreate problem, found nothing on black box, etc. & claims he feels safe to drive it. I am waiting to hear from toyota headquarters for their official word, which i doubt will be any different than the inspector's. Besides i could not get a copy of the report because he was hired by toyota! Not sure where to turn now. This was not the first time, the unintended sudden acceleration had occurred. On 3 or 4 other occasions, my rav did the same thing & luckily did not cause an accident. One time i threw the car into park as to stop it. The gas pedal & the brake were working fine, no sticking or no me putting my foot on the wrong pedal! The floor mats were original to vehicle & firmly attached to hooks. I had reported it to concord toyota on one occasion when i had an oil change, but they could not simulate the problem, so they stated there was no problem!! Obviously, there is a problem!! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.
