2010 brake failure - unintended acceleration

[Steveh27]

Not sure how to list this problem. I hadn't driven my car in 1 1/2 days & we've got bitter cold temps, 9 last night 16 today. Leaving to run some errands I went 100' and came to my first stop sign going only 15 mph. The front brakes started grinding and the car continued accelerating & didn't want to stop! Uh oh. Thinking about the headlines for the other Toyota models. I went to the next stop & the same thing happened. Then it didn't happen again until 3 miles later when it happened twice more. Hasn't happened since. I'm thinking it was due to the frigid cold. My car has only 7200 miles on it.

Going to drive on the freeway in 2 hours for the first time since this happened. If it happens again I'll call a dealer 8 miles away.
