Description of the problem	I was driving in rain going about 35-40 mph entering a curve when i saw a car stopped in front of me turning into a driveway. I tried to hit the brakes but my car actually accelerated to 55-60 mph hitting the vehicle from behind. It threw the car i hit over 100-200 feet off the road into a tree. My car continued to accelerate and finally stopped 1-2 football fields' length up the road. I had over $23,000 worth of damage to my car including a cracked frame. It took over 6 weeks to get my car fixed because the toyota dealership kept finding more damage as they worked on it. It was not totaled even though i had insurance that would have totally replaced the car with a new one if it were totaled. I feel the car has never been the same since. I sustained shoulder, neck, back, and r knee injuries where i kept trying to hit the brake to get the car to stop. When the police arrived i told them the car would not stop but actually accelerated when i tried to hit the brake. I reported the accident to corporate toyota but they never got back with me. Soon after there was a recall where something had to be replaced on my accelerator. I was very upset that i never got any response from toyota about my accident.
