Description of the problem	i own a 2007 toyota highlander hybrid. On monday, jan. 25th, my wifewas parking our highlander. She pulled into the parking space. Her foot was on the brake pedal. When she went to put the transmission into park, the car suddenly shot forward and hit a tree, damaging the front fender. My wife was sure she had the brake pedal depressed. We believe this accident was caused by a problem of sudden acceleration or braking that made the car go forward overpowering the brake. We also believe that this problem may be related to the toyota acceleration and electronic braking that has been the basis of the recent toyota recalls. Based on our experience: 1. 2007 toyota highlander hybrids should be added to the recall list. 2. Since we don't know when this will happen again, we do not feel save driving our highlander. Please help us to resolve this problem.
