description: AT APPROXIMATELY 11:20 AM, I WAS WAITING TO HAVE MY CAR WASHED AT A DRIVE THROUGH CAR WASH. A CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK HAD COMPLETED BEING WASHED AND WAS STOPPED AT THE EXIT. THE GREEN LIGHT CAME ON AT THE START OF THE CAR WASH FOR ME TO PROCEED. I MOVED FORWARD WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT WHAT SEEMED TO BE TOP SPEED. I JAMMED MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HELD IT DOWN BUT THE CAR CONTINUED SPEEDING. I EASED THE CAR INTO THE LEFT SIDE WALL OF THE CAR WASH TO SLOW DOWN THE MOMENTUM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. THE HOOD OF THE PRIUS WENT UNDER THE TRUCK REAR BUMPER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE PRIUS HAS BEEN DECLARED AT TOTAL LOSS. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED NEITHER THE LETTER FROM TOYOTA NOR THE BOSCH REPORT INDICATED AN EXAMINATION OF AN ELECTRONIC ACCELERATION SYSTEM. UPDATED 04/28/14
