Unknown Or Other problem #1

Unintended acceleration without ability to brake with my Lexus RX 350, at 2 pm on Saturday March 12th 2011 with 5 passengers. I was driving at around 30 mph. The choice was to crash in the car ahead stopped at a red light or go on the side walk, up a steep mount and crash in a brick wall. This is what I did. Nobody was hurt. Police was called and the car was towed. Car was inspected by Toyota, no cause was found, car was repaired at a geico approved repaired shop, and I am now asking the Lexus dealer pohanka to allow me to return the car and break my lease. In good conscience although no one was hurt, I am not willing to risk a more serious accident after my experience. We would have gotten hurt at a higher speed. This was my first ever crash driving 20,000 miles per year, driving for more than 35 years. There is no doubt something outside of my control happened.
