Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After being involved in a rear end collision (with my camry xle v6) when reversing out of a parking spot at a busy restaurant, i attempted to pull forward a foot or two and park by putting the car into drive (not pressing the accelerator). upon pressing the brake to park the car accelerated forward uncontrollably (without application of the gas pedal) crashing into the car parked in front of me and pushing that car into the car directly across the parking lot from it. the car directly across the parking lot was pushed over the concrete parking block and into a tree. after pushing the car in front of me, i was able to steer away from other cars and was finally able to stop the car only by using the emergency brake. from the time the car accelerated forward without pressing the gas pedal the brakes did not work. after clearing the cars i looked down to make sure i was using the brake pedal, which i was, and it was not working at all. during this entire incident there was a very loud and consistent noise coming from my car. the car is currently being inspected. *nm
