| Description of the problem | Sudden acceleration incident. First time it happened. 2006 scion xa. Driving back from n. M. On i-25. Going approx. 65 mph. Was passing car on right when came to a hill. Had to accelerate. Suddenly car engine revved up, made a loud noise and rapidly accelerated. I couldn't slow it down because the brakes wouldn't work. I managed to get around the car and tried to slow down the car so that i could get off on the right shoulder and stop the car. Somehow managed to slow the car enough (i'm not sure how because the brakes wouldn't work) to get off on the right shoulder. Pulled the emergency brake to stop the car and turned it off. Tried to start it again, and it was doing the same thing. Turned it off and waited for awhile. Finally turned the car back on, and it was operating normally. Managed to get to my destination safely. Haven't taken it to toyota. Not sure they would do anything. |
