As I was pulling into a parking space and applying the brakes, the car unexpectedly accelerated and hit the building wall. Since I was puzzled by what happened, I read several articles about Toyota automobiles doing just this same thing. Most of the articles covered Toyota automobiles older than mine, I did find several recent reports, including two that involved 2015 Highlander models just like mine. I plan to also notify the manufacturer, Toyota.
I was involved in an accident that I believe was caused by sudden unintended acceleration (sua). I was pulling into a diagonal parking space on a city street, proceeding at a very slow speed, when there was a sudden surge in acceleration accompanied by a grinding sound. I hit the brake to no effect, and the vehicle jumped the curb and hit a pole (not connected to anything). The air bags did not deploy, and we were shaken up but not injured. The car was not drivable and was towed to a body shop.
