3 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2009

Toyota Sienna 2003 I was pulling into a parking space in a parking garage. I believe I had put the car in reverse to back up to straightened the car and I put my foot on the brake. The car suddenly shot forward full force and was stopped by a concrete and wire retaining wall. The engine died at impact. The car was not drivable and was towed. I was stunned. I went into the building and after a short time felt chest pain and shortness of breath. I went to the emergency room and was treated and released. I received a chest wall contusion, probably cracked rib(s), deep tissue contusion and a large bruise from the seat belt. I was given vicodin for pain. The car was towed to a Toyota dealership but the damage has not been estimated yet. I am aware that the problem of uncontrolled acceleration in Toyota Siennas has been reported to both this agency and Toyota before (NHTSA report #10265288). Why has this not been addressed or the vehicle recalled? are you waiting for another tragedy like the one previously reported on by the media? I could have been killed.
