Accelerator Pedal Sensor Problems of Toyota Sienna

I own a 2004 Toyota Sienna. I purchased it Aug, 2009 and 2 weeks later while flooring the accelerator, the engine accelerated the vehicle spontaneously after pulling my foot off the pedal. I frantically stomped on the pedal and approximately 3 seconds passed until the engine decreased r. P. M. Admittedly I had just previously placed an "after market" floor mat in the driver compartment and removed it immediately when reaching my destination. However, this floor mat and the original one were nowhere near the gas pedal. I can only explain the reason why I never reported this until now I really don't ever have to "floor" the accelerator anyway. In light of the ongoing exposure in the media of these types of problems with Toyotas. I am compelled to voice my experience in hopes that this may avoid harm and even save lives. My Toyota currently is not included in a recall related to this issue, even though other reports are already published in the media similar to my experience with the Sienna. Personally, I believe that the floor mat recall was a hoax, and the claim that the gas pedal sensor, made by a u. S. Firm, being at fault is just a deliberate distraction to the costly truth. I believe Toyota has electronic, and probably even computer related problems with it's vehicles, and if all of this due process goes as it should, my prediction is this: all Toyotas with "drive by wire" systems will be recalled, and it will involve more than just pedal sensors and floor mats. Seriously, people are in jail because Toyotas have accelerated out of control, but what concerns me the most is that I have a wife and four children that I love more than can be described, that depend on this Toyota to function safely for us on a daily bases. Please use this complaint to make an improvement in safety.
