Description of the problem	Sudden unintended acceleration: i was traveling at approx 10 mph through a campground. I applied the brakes to slow down to turn right into my parking spot. My right foot was on the brake pedal when the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward. I stepped on the brake pedal more firmly but the vehicle continued to gain speed. I traveled about 100 feet up a steep hill on the side of the campsite and knocked down a small tree and struck several bushes before hitting a large tree that finally stopped the vehicle. The vehicle sustained major front end damage in addition to deep scrape marks to its sides and rear from the trees/bushes. The front airbags did not deploy. I purchased this car new and had driven it for more than 42,000 miles with no problems until this incident.
