MY CAR IS A TOYOTA 2006 MATRIX AWD; I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TO PARK IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE, AND TOOK MY FEET OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT BEFORE I HAD ANY CHANCE TO REACT THE CAR JUST CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UP MY DRIVE WAY AND CRASHED THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR, CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR, THE GARAGE DOOR, AND SOME DENTS TO MY OTHER CAR PARKED INSIDE; I HAVE ALWAYS PARKED MY CAR OUTSIDE ON THE DRIVE WAY, SINCE THERE ISN'T SPACE TO PARK 2 CARS IN MY GARAGE; I AM FAIRLY SAFE AND CAUTIOUS DRIVER; I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM TO TAKE A LOOK, MY 2006 TOYOTA MATRIX IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST, AND THE SERVICING GUYS DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY GAS PEDAL; I AM STILL CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY STILL BE A LURKING ISSUE WITH THE PEDAL OR THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM THAT CAUSED THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *TR
