“My Highlander Hybrid: pushed start button, and behaved normally. Upon being placed in gear, the vehicle attempted to accelerate as if the gas pedal was pushed to the floor. Only heavy brake pressure prevented a seriously dangerousness condition of full acceleration in a small parking lot. When placed in park, the throttle reduced to idle. I repeated the action of placing the car in gear (either reverse or drive), and again, the throttle advanced to a full acceleration mode. Again, only very heavy pressure on the brake prevented uncontrolled acceleration. …”
