2010 Toyota Corolla VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

There have been multiple times where the car accelerates on it's own, suddenly. The latest was last evening. It usually happens when I'm just going to accelerate slighting (at a stop sign, or end of the driveway) where I give it just a little gas, and the car accelerates much more quickly than intended. I've looked for a recall, but cannot find one for this. Please advise.

AS I WAS TRANSITIONING FROM A STOP TO A SLOW START, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY FROM 0 RPM TO 5 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE BUT I ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE PROCESS. I WAS CROSSING A INTERSECTION - ON A LEVELED STREET

CAR BOLTS WHEN PARKING, TAKING OFF BACK OR FORWARD, FROM DEAD START OR TAKING OFF FROM LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS ETC. HAS DONE THIS FOR YRS. NOW. SON DROVE CAR AND MENTIONED HOW AWFUL THAT WAS AND I NEVER MENTIONED IT TO HIM. FRIEND DID NOT BELIEVE ME AND TRIED IT FOR ONE BLOCK. SAID IT WAS DANGEROUS AND HORRIBLE. I AM SICK OF THIS HAPPENING AND NEED TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED. I AM A VERY PATIENT PERSON BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.

CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE, I MADE A SPEED CHANGE USING THE STEERING COLUMN LEVER WHEN THE ENGINE WENT TO 6,000 RPM IN FULL ACCELERATION. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 65 ON A RURAL ROAD PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR WITH NO CHANGE, THEN THE BRAKE WHICH CANCELLED THE UNCOMMANDED ACCELERATION.

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE FORWARD OR REVERSE, MY CAR JUMPS QUICKLY. SCAREY AND ALMOST HAVE HIT THINGS. I ACCELERATE VERY CAUTIOUSLY EVERY SINGLE TIME BUT NOT FUN!!! WAITING FOR THE BIG HIT!!!! NOT "IF" BUT "WHEN?" NOT MY IMAGINATION. MY GROWN SON, HATES TO DRIVE MY CAR. HE SAYS THE SAME THING. HAPPENS ANYTIME I ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. STOP SIGNS, PARKING PLACES, GARAGE ENTERING OR LEAVING. STARTED ABOUT 2013 AND CONTINUED SINCE, EVERY SINGLE TIME. NOW 10/07/15.

SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I SLOWED AT A STOP LIGHT WHICH WAS GREEN PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I STOOD ON THE BRAKE AS I TURNED THE CORNER.
