 Description of the problemOn april 1, 2008, at about 9:30 p. M., my two sons, 19 and 16, and my youngest son's friend drove south on interstate 35 out of downtown minneapolis upon conclusion of a twins game. About three blocks north of crosstown highway 62, going 60 mph i passed a car by putting the accelerator on the floor. Traffic is somewhat heavy of course. The car continued accelerating despite the fact that i took my foot off of the accelerator. I calmly told my 19 year old son sitting next to me that the accelerator was stuck. He shifted the car into neutral, and then into park and reverse when the shift into neutral didn't seem to correct the problem. He then shifted the car back into neutral, my foot was on the brake, and i was able to slow the car down on the 80 degree turn onto the crosstown 62 from i35. I slowed the car down to about 45 mph and, luckily, was able to get to the shoulder. I took the car in to my local maintenance shop the next day. The owner of the shop suggested that i ask the dealer i purchased the minivan from, bloomington toyota, to check at least the following three items: throttle position sensor, engine control module, and idle control motor. On may 15, 2008, i brought the minivan into bloomington toyota and told them what my local shop owner suggested. After testing the vehicle, the service manager told me that they found nothing wrong with the vehicle and that if the accelerator had malfunctioned, their computer testing devices would have detected it and had detected nothing.

    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.
