Your brake pedal is not stopping the car as expected. When you tried to park, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle, causing it to hit your garage wall. When you attempted to reposition the car, pressing the brake pedal caused the car to accelerate instead of stop, leading to a crash into your neighbor's garage and vehicle. This brake failure has resulted in significant property damage and poses a serious safety risk.

Your dad experienced complete brake failure while driving on the highway in your nearly new 2020 Prius (only 700 miles). When he pressed the brake pedal, the brakes did not respond, and he was unable to stop the car before colliding with another vehicle. The crash was severe enough to deploy all airbags and total the car. Your mom also noted the car seemed to accelerate very quickly beforehand. The issue may involve the brake system's hydraulic components, master cylinder, or electronic brake control systems.
