No I wouldn't do that if I were you, I would hang on to it.
Toyota said that you have a higher chance of getting the "STUCK GAS PEDAL." If your car has at least 38,000 miles or higher. If you bought this car brand new then you have nothing to worry about. Check your car's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) make sure your number starts with J. If it does than that car has the pedal which was made in Japan (completely safe and was not included in recall). If it has 1-4 at the beginning, it was included in the recall.
Don't worry you're completely safe, good thing is that its 2008, new car. You won't have the pedal problem. Give it about 2 1/2 weeks for them to replace your pedal, they will do it for free at no cost. In the meantime, be gentle with your gas pedal, don't constantly floor it.
If you still feel unsafe you can still trade it for a Ford, Chevy or Hyundai. They are offering $1,000 cash back for any Toyota.
