Description of the problem	Just notified of sudden acceleration. Hindsight - starting fall 2012 remote starter died,no warmup,my boyfriend and i experienced engine racing when van was cold multiple times,only way to stop it was hand control brake,foot brake was not enough. Planned to have checked but dec. 1 2012 at the tanger outlet mall in canonsburg pa. I am paraplegic,my minivan is modified with foldout ramp- passenger side sliding door for wheelchair and then i transfer into the drivers seat. All the van handicapped parking spaces were filled but it was early so i parked in a regular space with an empty space next to it so i could get out. Few van accessible handicapped spaces is common so i used regular spots before as long as someone was with me who could back the van up far enough for the ramp to deploy. When my mother,my sister-in-law,my friend,and i returned to the vehicle a pickup truck was parked next to us. My sister-in-law got in the vehicle to back it up so the ramp had room to come out as she had done often. We stood behind the pickup truck waiting for her to back up. All of a sudden the vehicle flew backward so fast that before we could yell stop my vehicle had slammed into the suv parked across the aisle so hard that it pushed the suv into the car parked in front of it in the next row. My sister-in-law was completely shocked as were we, it was so fast it was almost like watching a cartoon. My sister-in-law kept saying "i don't know what happened", she thought all she did was put her foot on the brake and put it in gear. Not knowing about sudden acceleration in sienna's all any of us could think was her foot had slipped even though she has been driving for 25 years without a similar incident she couldn't understand how it could happen, was sure it didn't. The police were called and a report filed. Because one of the welds from modification was broken my vehicle was totaled.
