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.
