I proceeded to back out of a parking space at comcast cable. As I was backing up I bumped into a utility pole in the middle of the lot. I applied the brakes and put to car into drive. When I lifted my foot off the brake the car lunged forward striking a parked vehicle and the building. The distance could not have been more than 10 to 15 feet. My wife and I heard a strange sound coming fron under the body of the car. I onformed my insurance company of the fact that some Toyota models were being investigated for sudden acceleration problems. He said he would check it out. He informed me that my model(2002 Avalon)was not affected. Nothing further was done other than to fix the damage to my car.
