2005 Toyota Sienna cruise control problems

On or about october 31, 2008, a 2005 toyota sienna XLE accelerated suddenly and unexpectedly. The driver steered the vehicle around cars, curbs and other obstructions while the vehicle continued to accelerate through a parking lot. Attempts to brake the vehicle were futile. The vehicle eventually hit a curb which deflated a tire, then continued through a chain-link fence and a field and into a portable building, finally coming to a stop. The driver was injured in the unintended acceleration incident and died.

While driving from ca to va in may of 2009 I experienced an unintended acceleration while in cruise control. This occurred after I would slow down for traffic and then activate the resume control. This happened on several occasions during the trip east and on the return trip back to ca. The speeds with the unintended acceleration reached 95MPH on the first occasion and stopped once I applied the brakes.
