Description of the problem	Over a period of several months after purchasing a new 2007 toyota tacoma, i experienced five incidents of brake/acceleration problems finally resulting in a crash. First incident: stopped at a traffic light with my foot on the brake, the truck lunged forward a few feet. The dealership told me they could not find any problem. A month later, stopped in a gas station drive with my foot on the brake waiting to exit, the rear wheels began spinning out of control. I pressed on the brake as hard as i possibly could to keep from entering traffic. Three weeks later, approaching the bottom of a hilly sharp turn, i tapped the brakes to slow down. Again the rear wheels accelerated to a high rate of speed. I could not stop the truck to keep from striking a van in front of me so i crossed over a double yellow line to avoid a collision. It took about a thousand yards to gain control. The dealership said, "we can't fix the problem" until we can duplicate it". I called toyota of america, again only to be told that toyota could do nothing. The fourth incident occurred on an entrance ramp to a highway. I tapped the brakes to slow down. The vehicle accelerated to a high rate of speed. I got it under control quickly. Finally the fifth and final incident. Coming out of nashville where it was raining hard, i got further northbound on the i-24 where it was raining less and the pavement was wet. While in the shoulder lane, a vehicle in the left lane started moving over to the right causing me to tap my brakes. The rear wheels accelerated to a very high rate of speed causing the truck to hydroplane. The rear end of the truck spun around to the left and, still accelerating on its own, drove into the embankment, first skidding sideways then the truck began to roll several times. It struck a rut causing it to go airborne finally landing on its roof. It rolled several more times coming to a stop in a ditch on the drivers door. I was transported to the hospital. *jb

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.
