Backing into driveway the car accelerated to full speed by its self. Pushed the brake pedal with both feet, and the car would not slow. Travelled about 60 feet and crashed into our double garage doing significant damage to the garage and the car was a total loss. Not sure what speed car accelerated to, best guess 30 mph.

The vehicle was backing up and when put in drive to park, the vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed. I was braking as hard as i could and it went over the block causing damage to my car and hitting the building causing damage . This happened after filling my car up with gas the night before. I need to know if there is a recall on this.
