I was driving my 2006 toyota matrix i purchased one month ago. i was driving on a very wet road less than 20-25 mph. approximately 9:00a.m. coming home from local gym. i slowed to stop for construction work on slick two lane road. brakes did not grab as i tried to slow down. i pushed brakes down harder, and as they started to work, the accelerator began to accelerate on its own, car began to feel like it was revving up. i put car immediately in park, and tires burned rubber (enough to smell) and car stopped completely. it all happened incredibly fast, and scared me to death. i have not had this problem previously (i have owned vehicle for 1 month) and car is not on recall list (clearly should be). i have called toyota customer service center, and will call dealer where i purchased car next. *tr
