1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2010

2 weeks ago I was sitting at a light, my foot on the brake, when the brake moved under my foot. Then the gas revved like the gas pedal was being held down. I could barely keep the car from ramming the car stopped ahead of me. I put both my feet on the brake and put my car in neutral and turned the key off. After I restarted the car it was normal. Definitely the most harrowing experience I've ever had! my vehicle is an 1998 Honda Passport, not a Toyota. Could it have the same parts? I'm afraid to drive it now.
