description: ON JUNE 15, 2009 I WAS PARKING MY 2005 TOYOTA SCION XA IN MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATED AND THE ENGINE RACED AND TOOK OFF OVER THE BUMPER INTO THE WALL. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR BECAUSE THE BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THEY JUST WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. LUCKILY I WAS NOT HURT BUT MY CAR IS A MESS. WHEN I EXPLAINED THE INCIDENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED AND WOULD CHECK OUT THE CAR AFTER THE BODY WORK IS DONE AND THE CAR BECOMES DRIVABLE AGAIN. THANKFULLY I DIDN'T INVOLVE ANY OTHER VEHICLES AND MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME. AFTER READING OF ANOTHER INCIDENT WITH A TOYOTA TC, THAT INCIDENT FAR WORSE THAN MINE, I FELT I NEEDED TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN THAT NOT AND JUST NOT SOMEONE MISTAKING THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE BRAKES. *TR
