Description of the problem	As i was about to complete parking my 2008 toyota tundra in a parking space at northampton high school, northampton, massachusetts the truck suddenly accelerated at a high rate, went over a curb and into a chain link fence doing considerable damage to the fence and truck. I had no control over the truck and hitting the brake was not enough to stop the high acceleration. I finally made the truck stop by shifting into neutral and shutting off the engine. I was very lucky to not have been hurt. If this happened a few seconds earlier i would have hit a group of students walking in the parking lot. The students were in front of my vehicle before i made the right turn into the parking space. It was very scary, i am very nervous now driving the truck. My wife will not drive it. I contacted toyota immediately. They have been very difficult to deal with. Not returning phone calls and not meeting dates for what they will do. When i first contacted toyota, the representative said to me "so what do you want toyota to do" after i described what happened and how lucky i was not to be hurt or hurting students in a high school parking lot. I have owned toyota vehicles since 1970 - they seem to have little concern for my loyalty or the stress this incident has caused me and my family.
