Description of the problem	While traveling in a rain storm at 17mph, i tried to engage the brakes to prevent from crashing into an 18 wheeler and the brakes did not work. I repeatedly tried to stop the car and the car was accelerating even thought i was applying the brakes not the gas. The car would not shut down, go into park or neutral. I did crash into the 18 wheeler because the engine was accelerating and i wanted to stop. When i crashed the airbags did not deploy. Even after impact the car was still accelerating like it was trying to push the 18 wheeler. Eventually the car powered down after repeatedly pushing every button possible. I had the car towed to a toyota dealership. I phoned your hotline but the vin number i gave had a number that was wrong my prior confirmation number is 10542285. Toyota is aware and i am waiting for them to call me back.
