“On october 1, 2018, at 8:25 a.m.I was pulling into a parking space at work in my 2016 Avalon (12,141 miles). I was 'riding the brake' to pull all the way into the parking space. The car took off into landscape, crossed a road and went down a hill. I hit the parking lot and was knocked to my side. The car went back up the hill and crossed the road again, went through more landscape, bushes, etc. Back into the road again and stopped.there was over 11,000 damage to my car and I hurt my back and neck. …”
