Description of the problem	Pulled into parking space at work doing about 5-10 mph. Slowed to turn into space, giving car just enough gas , when car launched forward hitting a chain link fence. I did not have any brakes, so i tried pumping brakes before impact . Brake pedal was completely to the floor, so i used emergency brake to stop car before it caused further damage to car and fence. I did not report incident, but took car to lacey collision, and they estimated damage at $1500. This is not the first time this has happened, i have reported this to two different toyota dealerships.. Nothing was ever done. They only admitted that yes, my brakes were a bit 'soft'. But car was not on their recall list.
