Description of the problem	On february 2, 2017,my 2012 highlander was placed in park and left in high school( dhs durango, co) round about with keys in car. I parked my car in front of a school round about, left the keys in ignition because i was returning. The vehicle shifted out of park, accelerated up a slight incline in the driveway and hit a parked truck. There was no one in the vehicle. Video from safety officer at high school shows the whole event. The vehicle was placed in park, lights turn off as i parked vehicle. The vehicle sits still in park for some time, then proceeds to move on its own and runs into vehicle ahead of it. The truck in front had damage to back left bumper and body.... My vehicle has damage to front right bumper. Most alarmed by vehicle having changed gears and moved on its own with no one in vehicle. Several witness and video that i am unable to up load. Case has been initiated with toyota and someone is coming from denver to do a edr on tuesday, march 7th, 2017. I'm afraid all the stories i've read over the weekend on internet are very true... There is no other explanation to what happened. Concerned that toyota rep will try to misread and mis-interpret findings or cause data to be tampered with... My main concern is safety and aside from this incident and a few unexplained pulling on the gas pump like a drag or acceleration, i thought my car was safe---someone could have been severely injured. Since i was not privy to what happened until video was provided fe. 23, i had no idea how to report to insurance my vehicle running into someone with no one in it!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
