Upon applying the brake of the car, it accelerated at an alarming rate at a busy intersection. I threw it into neutral, car continued alarming acceleration. I threw into park, car bucked like a bronko. I TURNED THE CAR OFF averting a serious collision. I turned on the ignition, car still in extreme acceleration mode! After 15 minutes I restarted motor and drove car to Toyota dealer. After checking the car, they said it was the floor mat sticking to the gas pedal. It was not the mat. The garage was dry, the car floor was dry, my boots were dry and the rug did not move. This is a dangerous malfunction problem, and the dealer did nothing to improve the malfunction. I will not drive the car again, and I cannot trust the dealer. I am extremely fortunate that I did not cause a serious accident! What recourse do I have?
