While attempting to park my 2003 Toyota Highlander at a mcdonald's, as I was applying the brake and almost parked, the car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb and crashed through the entrance of the mcdonald's. I continued to apply the brake when this happened, and it would not stop.
My 2003 Toyota Highlander accelerated at a high rate of speed while the brake was fully applied as I turned into a parking spot. Luckily, it happened when I was 60% or so into the space, as I only accelerated into a brick wall, not another car or person.
Sudden acceleration while brake was depressed. Vehicle went up a two foot embankment and thru a chain link fence. Vehicle was stopped by placing into park. This all happened while brake was depressed fully.
