I was making a right hand turn in to a parking space in a parking lot. I had my foot on the brake as it was a sharp right turn in to the space and was slowly entering the space. When I was about 2 feet away from the parking block at the front of the space, the van suddenly accelerated and shot forward over the parking block and about 8 feet out in to a grassy yard in front of the lot. As it shot forward, I quickly checked to make sure that my foot was on the brake and not the gas pedal. It was on the brake and I was pushing the brake the entire time. The accelerator overrode the brake. I had no control over the acceleration. We took the van to toyota where they kept it overnight. They told us they "were unable to replicate the problem". They verbally told us that there was nothing wrong with it and it was safe to drive. We asked them to put that in writing and they refused and said that they could not put that in writing.

In the qfc parking lot, at around 5pm on a clear monday evening I went to turn left into a parking spot. I stepped on the gas and nothing happened, I let up a bit and stepped again and my 2010 toyota sienna shot forward. I slammed on the brake halfway into the parking spot and ran into the tree in front of the van. I looked down and could see the outline of the gas pedal so my foot was definitely on the brake. I was very shaken up. The vans bumper and hood are damaged and the tree lost some bark. I had it towed to the toyota dealership and toyota is having it investigated. It has been there for a month now. Police were called, but did not take a report as there were no injuries.
