Description of the problem	I was driving from tucson to queen creek on highway 79. I set my cruise control to 65 and enjoyed the ride. I came around a bend in the road, and there was a pickup pulling a trailer a few hundred yards ahead going much slower than 65. I tapped on the brake to disengage the cruise control, and slowed down to ~ 50 before i could pass due to oncoming traffic. Once the road was clear, i accelerated by pushing the resume feature of the cruise control. The truck accelerated, and i was waiting to feel the overdrive gear kick in but it did not. The truck kept accelerating past 90 mph. I looked down to the gas pedal to see if it was blocked or obstructed and it was not but i could feel gas pedal was flat against the floor. I first tapped on the break again but the truck kept speeding up. I turned off the cruise control, but the truck kept speeding up. At close to 100 mph i put the truck in neutral and tried to get the truck off to the side of the road, but it felt as though the brakes were not working. I got the truck stopped by placing both feet on the brake. The engine was running at ~6000 rpm so i looked at things i thought might be obvious such as an obstruction of the gas pedal, but the pedal was clear and un obstructed. I looked under the truck to look for anything leaking or broken and everything looked fine. I turned off the engine, let the truck sit a minute, then started it again. I drove my wife home, and went straight to the toyota dealer. The dealer told me they couldn't find anything wrong but said the floor mat was obstructing the gas pedal. I can assure you that this is the first thing i checked when i realized the cruise control wasn't disengaging the engine. I checked it again once i got the truck to stop. If i had seen the pedal was obstructed, i wouldn't be filling out the complaint form and chalked it up to checking the floor mat before driving. This was the scariest situation i have ever had behind the wheel of any vehicle.

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.
