Attempted to park in my garage and overshot the turn. The brake then failed to stop and I dented my garage outer wall. I reversed my car and tried to reposition it to go inside the garage, putting it on drive. However, the brake pedal made the car accelerate and the car went on reverse. It then crashed into the neighbor's garage and crashed the door and car inside. Both the car inside the garage and the garage itself (along with the inside of the house) have been damaged.

Prius 4-cyl

  • 700 miles
My dad was driving on the highway. He said that he stepped on the brakes and the brakes did not work. He got into an accident in which the all airbags were deployed and the car was totaled. The car only had 700 miles. I believe this was the second time that my dad drove this car on the highway. My mom, who was a passenger, said that the car accelerated very quickly. Prior to purchasing this car, my dad had driven a Prius (2010 - 2012?), so he was very familiar with the feel of the Prius. The claim # is [xxx]. attached please find the police report as well as a picture of the totaled car. Please note that I am filing this complaint on behalf of my parents. Consumer has contacted manufacture. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'
