description: COASTED OUT OF A CAR WASH; ENGINE ON, TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. AFTER EXITING THE WASH, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SHIFTED FROM NEUTRAL INTO DRIVE. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND WOULD NOT BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID PEDESTRIANS, GAS PUMPS, AND THE STORE ENTRANCE. I WAS FORCED TO CRASH THE VEHICLE AGAINST A BUILDING TO GET IT TO STOP. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED WITH HEAVY FRONT END DAMAGE; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, THERE AS AN EMAIL FROM THE VEHICLE'S ONBOARD HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM SAYING THAT AN ISSUE WAS DETECTED WITH THE AIR BAGS, WHICH MAY NOT DEPLOY.
