WAS LEAVING THE HOUSE, GOT IN CAR, STARTED ENGINE, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THEN PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND PROCEEDED TO PULL OUT OF GARAGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN TOO FAST, WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR ACCELERATED TOO QUICKLY AND I NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE DOOR. *TR
MY 2008 SCION XB LOST POWER STEERING AS I WAS DRIVING IT. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER WITHOUT ANY CREATING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL UNIT FAILED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR
