Description of the problem	The truck had approximately 62,000 miles when we drove it to florida christmas day. On saturday, december 30th, we ran some errands that covered about 15 miles of city driving. Upon returning to our hotel, as we backed in to a parking space, the truck accelerated wildly. The tires screamed as we backed up onto a parking berm (pictures included) and continued to squeal while my foot was standing on the brake pedal. I put the truck in drive, the truck came off of the berm, but the tires were still squealing all the while i'm still standing on the brake pedal. I put it in park right away and shut it off. Looking down at the pedals, there was nothing unusual to note. No mats had moved and the pedals were as they should be. If it were not for the berm, there is no telling of what the consequences would have been. I recall that as we backed in, my foot was either about to step on the brake pedal or i had already begun to brake. My foot was not on the accelerator because, with the air conditioner on, the engine has sufficient rpm's to slowly move the truck without it. I went out a few hours later to start the truck and move it back and forth. At that time, everything seemed fine. I also took photographs of the berm and tires at that time, which i can supply. This was a very unnerving experience and i've been mindful of it since. Even though it has been a couple of weeks since the incident, i'm unsure i can have faith this will not happen again. I have since gone to the dealer who preformed two open recalls, but said there is no evidence of any "incident" as stated above ever happening.

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.
