Consumer Description

ACCELERATED (TOOK OFF) WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (5 INCIDENCES)...ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY AFTERMARKET CRUISE CONTROL. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THAT THEY SHOULD NOT RECOMMEND AFTERMARKET CRUISE AT THE TIME...THEY CLAIMED NO OTHER PROBLEMS. AFTER 2ND INCIDENCE CRUISE CONTROL WAS REPLACED BY INSTALLER AND HE CALLED THE COMPANY...NONE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM ON MY CRUISE MODULE (HE SHOWED ME HOW TO DISCONNECT CRUISE UNDER THE HOOD SINCE CURRENT STILL RUNS THROUGH MECHANISM SINCE CRUISE WAS IN OFF POSITION DURING 2ND INCIDENT)...THE PROBLEM THEN HAPPENED AGAIN (3 TIMES IN SAME DAY ON WAY TO AIRPORT)WITH NEW CRUISE MECHANISM. NO PROBLEMS IN LAST 2 YEARS, BUT IT'S A DAILY GAMBLE...NOW I HAVE TO WONDER IF THE CRUISE WAS EVER EVEN PART OF THE EQUATION IN THE PROBLEM WITH ALL THE ACCELERATOR AND OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE READ ONLINE. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THIS YEAR AND THEY DENY ANY PROBLEM WITH SCION ACCELERATORS OR BRAKE NOT DEPRESSING (IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE MY BRAKE AND GAS WERE FIGHTING LIKE IF YOU 2 FOOTED IN A MANUAL EQUALLY, BUT I OWN A AUTOMATIC...IT'S VERY SCARY). *TR
