I drive a 2002 Toyota Sienna xle and have experienced a lurching/accelerating when I am at a full stop. When it happens (which is becoming more frequent) it seems awkward. Now, I wonder is this part of the accelerator problem too?.

The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Sienna. While driving 40 mph the contact released the accelerator pedal and the vehicle continued to accelerate. The contact tried applying the brakes but the vehicle would not slow down completely. The contact shifted the vehicle into neutral and it still did not slow down. The contact then shifted the vehicle into park while the vehicle was in motion. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over and shut it off. The contact restarted the vehicle and the rpm's began to increase rapidly. The contact pumped the accelerator pedal and the rpm's decreased. The vehicle was diagnosed by three local mechanics and neither one of them could duplicate the failure. The dealer was also unable to duplicate the failure and that "gunk" could have composed in the engine, clogged it which would have caused the vehicle to accelerate. The contact stated that the failure is directly related to the current recall for the pedal. The failure mileage was 83,271.
