Description of the problem	While pulling into a parking space (speed less than 5 mph) and applying the brakes the pedal went to the floor and the car seemed to speed up. The car jumped the curb and struck a tree. A good samaritan assisted and actually got in the car and found the brake pedal went to the floor. Shortly after the accident the brakes returned to normal operation. This is the second time that the car has experienced similar problems. In 2014 while pulling into the driveway the brake pedal went to the floor and struck the house. Shortly after the brakes returned to normal operations. Toyota was notified and inspected the car's computer and braking system per case number 1410012557. After the inspection toyota said that there were no brake issues found with the car and stated that it was safe to drive. Obviously there is an issue with the braking system in these cars.
