In 2009 i had an accident with my Toyota Corolla,fabricated in 2004 in Turkey.
I was pulling back,from my yard, into the street when the car suddenly had accelereted and stopped just when hit a car parked on street.
The police report blamed the accident on me, and myself had doubts until i have red about these recalls.

Data point to Toyota's throttles, not floor mats
(L.A.Times November 29, 2009)

A comment on Toyota Sudden Acceleration Recall: Company Vows To "Make Better Cars"

Safety experts agree that the floor mats are just a part (and likely a small part) of the sudden acceleration problem. Toyota had a marked increase in sudden acceleration events after it introduced an electronic throttle control in 2002. Many of the accelerator malfunctions have occurred in vehicles with no floor mats at all. You can learn more and get updates at More ...

It's amazing the stuff you can find on the web....but with this being said "This is a prime example of what is wrong with car companies today. A defect that creates rust is obvious... while a defect that actually kills people is "nebulous". I need for action is due.

In some, but obviously not all, cases, it IS the floor mat. In some cases, drivers have stepped on the throttle, thinking it was the brake. In others, drivers have falsely claimed "unintended acceleration" to try to explain away an accident. But there are still some cases, such as yours, that don't fit in one of these categories. For these cases, Toyota's changes to the engine management computer to shut the throttle when the brakes are applied seems like a reasonable response.
In response to Gokhan's comment on 11/8, all modern engines have rev limiters that will allow full throttle for an indefinite period without damage to the engine. No one should hesitate to shift into neutral if they encounter an unintended acceleration situation--whatever the reason.

You'd think Toyota would be far more concerned about this dangerous situation. They have gambled not only with people's lives, but with the hard-won trust they have tried to establish with their products over the years. To shift the blame for these accelerator incidents on floor mat design seems incredibly irresponsible. I wish the fed's would recall every single one of them. I'm in the market for a new car, but it won't be a Toyota now. Daily transportation shouldn't mean being worried about your family's safety.
