Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY 2006 SCION XB HAS ACCELERATED WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GOING UPHILL ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AND BEGAN RACING. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE TO A STOP, BUT THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE ENGINE TO SLOW WAS TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR. AS WITH THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT I WAS ACCIDENTALLY STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, SINCE I USED THE BRAKE TO BRING THE CAR TO A HALT. IT WAS SCARY THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS SCARY THIS TIME TOO. *TR
