Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2009 Toyota Avalon

When slowly pulling into a parking space in front of a building, the vehicle suddenly accelerated across a 3-foot wide sidewalk and into one of the storefronts of a building--resulting in extensive damage to the front of the vehicle (currently in the body shop) and extensive damage to the storefront. Fortunately, no one was on the sidewalk at the time. This is the first sudden unintended acceleration for us. . . But apparently not the first for the 2009 Avalon.

After passing a car and speeding up from 90km per hour to 120 km I took my foot off the brake. The car continued on it's own, 120,130, 140 and topping out at 155km where at this time I had one foot on the brake and could only slow the car to 120, with both feet on the brake ( literally "standing" on the brakes) the car slowed from 120 to about 30 whereupon mu wife shut the car off. The tires were pouring smoke out of them and it took us about a mile to stop the car. It is a 2009 Toyota Avalon brand new. Have you had any other uncontrolled acceleration problems reported?.
