Description of the problem	I entered my car in the home garage while coasting and the car suddenly accelerated as i approached about 5 feet within my parking spot. After the car suddenly accelerated, it was a matter of seconds before the car crashed into a floor cabinet and refrigerator that rests against our garage wall stopping the car's forward movement and allowing me put the car in the drive gear and turn off the engine. The air bags did not deploy and fortunately i was not injured. The crash caused extensive damages to the front of the car, both front side fenders, driver and passenger doors, the garage wall, floor cabinet and refrigerator. There may be additional internal damage under the hood but at this point that has not been determined. The car damages are so extensive that it may be a total loss. Obviously, i'm very disappointed by this incident and will not trust the car in the future. I promptly reported this to my insurance co. And filed an incident with toyota and requested that they perform a root cause analysis.
