| Description of the problem | Numerous times my 2004 toyota scionxb required me to sometimes put both feet on the brake when stopped at a red light due to the engine racing. When i told toyota service about it, they couldn't find anything wrong. June 1, 2005 approaching a kids playground area at 30mph, i put on brakes as the car in front of me was about to make a right turn. The brake did not hold, i hit the rear of the car ahead of me , i braked again and hit the car again. No damage to the other car but i was cited for a major accident, 1st one in 50 yrs of driving including 15 as a school bus driver. I always believed something wasn't right with the brakes and with the current toyota brake problems i believe the scion xb shouldn't be ignored. I never felt safe after the accident and got rid of it. |
