Description of the problem	My wife was maneuvering the suv into small area parking lot onto a corner space, on the first forward and back motion to maneuver the brake was ok, then on the second maneuver the brake didn't work and the tire went over the concrete parking block then hitting the structure of the doctors office. Early on in the day i went to the toyota dealership to purchase a hitch and when about to leave the parking brake didn't release completely, told service guy and said to get a clip and he also commented that the dealership where i bought might install wiring on the left panel pushing the plastic panel which block the release of the parking brake.
