Car Accelerates On Its Own Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid

I was slowly accelerating into a parking space when I felt the gas pedal move away from my foot and the car lurched forward. I immediately stepped on the brakes and the car stopped. I sat for a minute to see what could have caused this unintended acceleration. Nothing was evident, so I backed into the parking space and shut the car off.

In the five years I have owned the car, four times it has accelerated rapidly for no reason. The car just jumps forward by 5 or 6 feet. The last time, I was parking the car, with my foot barely on the accelerator. It suddenly leaped forward. I would have hit a pedestrian on the sidewalk, except that the car got stuck on a snowbank. I have reported these incidents to Toyota, which investigated and said there was nothing wrong with the car.
