Description of the problem	I was driving our 2006 toyota highlander hybrid up the driveway and around to the back of our home where we have a rear entry garage. As i turned in the driveway i started to slow/stop the car so i could backup to pull into the garage the car accelerated suddenly striking a small tree in the yard doing a lot of damage to the left front, left front wheel and left quarter panel. It's possibly totalled. It was as if a something siezed the car and suddenly pulled it forward at a high rate of speed. If the tree had not stopped the car i would have struck the house. No airbags deployed. I am bruised and sore but otherwise ok. I had been running on battery through our neighborhood and up the driveway but after it happened i noticed the engine was now running so i don't know if the surge was the result of the gas engine kicking in or some other sudden acceleration problem. *tt
