I was parked in the parking lot of my children's school. The car next to me needed to back out so I was moving my car forward a little to get out of their way. When I put the car in drive it started accelerating but my foot was on the brake. I turned the wheel to miss the block wall in front of me. The car had jumped the curb and was up in the landscape area. It was continuing to accelerate and I was pumping the brake and trying to not hit anything. I was trying to put it in neutral so that it would stop but by then the car was down in the other side of the parking lot and headed toward a three foot cliff. My youngest son was in the car and not buckled into his seat so I was panicking trying to get it to stop. I put it into park and it make a weird rattle noise and then stopped very suddenly. I looked down at my feet immediately to make sure that I was not accidently pressing the gas but my foot was still on the brake.

I was late to pick my children up from school thankfully, because 10 minutes earlier the parking lot would have been full of children. I towed my car into Toyota and they are looking at it but said that my vehicle is not part of the recall. It is there now waiting for a case manager to approve the dealer to look at it. That will take 2 days before they are aloud to open the hood!
