Autoblog's Sam Abuelsamid video explaining Toyota's sticky pedal - with actual PEDAL!
#5
Prius(es) have had pedal/throttle, whatever you want to call it issues, though. Plenty of unintended Prius acceleration stories. (I drive a Prius and have experienced issues that others could themselves feel should fall underneath the umbrella of throttle issues) Just search Priuschat.com.

My 2006 Prius (pkg 8) has on several occasions decided to accelerate on its own.

I was at a light stopped dead. Not in neutral. I accelerated when the light turned green. The car shot off like a bullet. Much faster than I would ever take off.

I had an incident where my pedal stuck on my 2006 Prius...I was being a moron and floored it trying to show off my new car and how "fast" (not) it went (although I am still impressed by the low end torque).
