2003 Mazda Mpv began to rapidly accelerate while entering my driveway. Even though applying brakes at full force, my vehicle crashed into my garage door. While trying to put gear shift into neutral, I accidentally shifted into reverse. The vehicle again accelerated, the whole while I had both feet pushing on the brakes as hard as I was able. The minivan then shot out in reverse and hit my neighbors' car parked on the street in front of their house.
