Description of the problem	My wife was parked in front of our apartment building, idling with her foot on the brake, when our 2006 toyota highlander hybrid suddenly accelerated and crashed into a gate. Before the car crashed, she repeatedly applied the brake and even put the car in park. The car did not stop. After the impact, the engine continued to rev and accelerate before finally stopping. This had never happened before. The body has been repaired, but per toyota, nothing mechanical or electronic has been touched. Last week toyota sent a specialist out to inspect the car and download data. We were present at the time, and 5 dtc codes displayed. The descriptions displayed on the investigator's lap top mentioned vehicle speed sensors on right wheel and left wheel, the emps, body ecu switch circuit and "low or high power supply voltage". The car was test driven, and no errors or codes were reported. The car is now waiting to be taken to a dealer to be reviewed and fixed.
