I purchased a 2009 Toyota Scion from the fairfield, ca dealership. I was on the freeway when my car accelerated up to a faster speed than I wanted I tried to correct it in the confusion and not understanding what was going on I lost control and crashed into another vehicle. There was $10,000 of damage to the car it was repaired but then I had another accident in the same car again sitting at a stop light I barley tapped the gas pedal my car jumped into a high speed smashing into the car in front of me after I hit I turned around to check on my child thinking a car had hit me from behind but it was not another car it was just mine but then it did it again smashing into the car again. It was crazy I had no idea what was going on my face was smashed up pretty bad 2 black eyes and fat lips extra. My car hit the car in front of me so hard it smashed into the car in front of it. Now gather I was already stopped sitting and waiting for the light to turn green what caused my car not once but twice to smash into the car in front of me. My car was totaled. I had the worst time with this car it seemed like I was driving with a dark cloud over me. Not only was the acceleration a problem but the trunk lid also broke off and my seat belts did not work properly. There also was a problem with the brakes sometimes if I was on a steep hill the brakes would skip and not catch almost like it would jump.

I have a 2009 Toyota Scion Tc which I am very afraid to drive but it is not on the recall list but I am having major problems with the brakes(ABS tracking system). I have had 3 very close calls as a result of my brakes locking up(going slow) and unable to stop, even after I take my foot off the brake they remain locked. One incident I almost went right into a busy 4 lane highway. It has happened on dry roads and wet roads are a lot worse, I have to start stopping a lot sooner than one should. I am very stressed when having to drive my vehicle anymore. Another issue which only happened once and was when I was driving slow it felt like my vehicle accelerated without applying any acceleration. I have a stick and I find myself unsure which gear to be in when the roads are wet because at times I feel like I am driving on glass and have to shift to higher gear as if there is too much power causing me to feel like I do not have full control of my car and that I am actually driving on glass and the roads may only be wet.

I have been experiencing the accelerating gas pedal problems since the day I drove it off the lot, but it would occur on the low speed 20-30mph and as soon as I push brakes the accelerating would stop. On Feb 15th it has happened on the highway. It accelerated from 65 to 73-75mph while I was pushing brake repeatedly! I took the car to local temecula Toyota dealer and I was turned back as they were not able to duplicate this issue and this car is not on the recall list, even thou it is build with identical accelerating and braking parts with corolla that is on the recall! please contact me who is experiencing this issue I will file a claim against Scion Toyota that will help to resolve this issue for all of us. For now here is a number to call to start a case regarding this issue (866)707-2466.
