My daughter was driving a 2005 Scion Xa down a private dirt road when a deer ran in front of her - she swerved to miss the deer and hit brakes. At the time she said that the car didn't brake but seemed to speed up. The car rolled.

On June 15, 2009 I was parking my 2005 Toyota Scion Xa in my parking space at work. All of a sudden my car accelerated and the engine raced and took off over the bumper into the wall. I was unable to control the car because the brakes totally failed. When I pressed the brakes they just went all the way to the floorboard. My car is currently at the Toyota dealership. Luckily I was not hurt but my car is a mess. When I explained the incident to the dealership, they did not seem concerned and would check out the car after the body work is done and the car becomes drivable again. Thankfully I didn't involve any other vehicles and my grandchildren were not in the car with me. After reading of another incident with a Toyota tc, that incident far worse than mine, I felt I needed to let the public know that this is happening more often that not and just not someone mistaking the gas pedal for the brakes.
