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.

The contact was able to decelerate after force was applied to the brake pedal. The failure recurred four times.

The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

I was on my way home from work and when I came to a stop light, I tried to come a stop and when I tried to brake the car kept driving and I wrecked in to a fence and crashing into a tree.

On 4 separate incidents, my car accelerated on it's own while sitting still. The last incident was on March 23rd while I was sitting still in a mcdonald's drive thru. My foot was on the brake and the car suddenly acted as if I had stepped fully down on the gas pedal. I had to really push my foot down on the brake to keep it from lunging forward. I immediately pushed it into park and the car stopped accelerating. This is very dangerous and I am extremely worried it will happen again!.

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.

I was driving in traffic going about 65mph. Traffic began to slow and when I tried to slow my car the engine began to rev up. Traffic came slower and I was able to turn off the engine, put the car in neutral and then restart the engine. After restarting the engine it reved again and again turned it off and on and the engine reset and ran smoothly. This happened once before about a year after we bought the car but I don't remember the date. We did not take it to the service center.

I was pulling into my driveway when my car accelerated uncontrollably. I applied the brake with both feet and could not stop. I hit my other car in the driveway and that stopped me but damaged both vehicles. Since this occurred on private property I did not contact police.

2006 Scion Xb --- we have experienced same gas pedal problem on four or five occasions in the last two years. The vehicle either did not slow when the gas pedal was depressed and in two instances the vehicle actually began to accelerate while going uphill approaching slowing traffic. Toyota recall not on scion models?.

We were driving down a seattle boulevard at about 40 miles an hour on the way to the airport when I put my foot on the brake pedal to stop for a red light. Instead of slowing, the engine sped up. I managed to get the car to stop by stomping on the brake, but at full stop the engine started revving toward 5000 rpm, the car was straining forward, and the only way to solve the problem was to turn off the ignition. On restarting the car, the problem went away. I called the dealer, whose service folks said there were no service notices about the issue. The next time I took the car in, there were no error codes in the electronics. There hasn't been a recurrence. But the incident was more than unsettling; it was downright scary.
