| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota prius plug-in hybrid. While reversing out of the driveway, the contact released the accelerator pedal to switch the vehicle into drive. Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated backwards and drove into a neighbor's yard. The vehicle spun out of control even with the contact standing on the brake pedal. As a result, the vehicle struck the corner of a neighbor's house and finally came to a stop.
