My daughter was involved in an auto accident involving her 2005 Toyota Scion Xa. She applied brakes as she was coming to a stop light and the brake did not work. She tried again and the car kept going. She then tried to "pump" the brake to no avail. The result was that she hit the car in front of her totaling her car. In addition to the brakes not working, the driver seatbelt did not "lock".
I have noticed the same brake issue with my 2005 scion (Toyota) xa at least twice, as reported on the news this morning about the Toyota prius. I was approaching a red light @ sunrise blvd and folsom blvd. And applied the brakes as I was going over a couple of sets of train tracks. The vehicle felt like I was propelled forward when I hit the tracks instead of slowing down. It lasted only a second but scared the heck out of me! I thought I was going to rear end the vehicle in front of me. I wrote it off like it was just my imagination or something till I saw the news. Now my wife is driving the vehicle and I warned her to make sure she applies the brakes before any train tracks, and told her I would report it. I am worried about her safety. Does this vehicle have the same braking system or flaw? please investigate and advise.
