IN FEBURARY 2008, I PURCHASED A 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WHEN SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. ON THE FIRST OCCASION (APRIL 2008), THE INCIDENT ENDED IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO A WALL. THE SECOND INCIDENCE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS LATER AND NEARLY CAUSED ANOTHER ACCIDENT. AGAIN, AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BY A PARKING PYLON BEFORE HITTING A WALL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AS OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES ARE NOTED AS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS THREAT NOT ONLY TO THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, BUT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. UPDATED 08/08/08. *JB
