2007 Pontiac Vibe (Toyota engine). Only 1 incident, had car approximately one year. Pulling into parking spot with my daughter at apartment complex, car went into high speed mode, I really trumped the brakes and car stopped. I thought what the !@#$% was that. I had heard about mats becoming loose so I checked and I thought it could possibly be loose mat. Bought new flat mats and put front car mats in rear of car. Also, I believe when I have used cruise control, it seems sometimes that car jumps into going faster without hitting gas pedal or arm control.
