I recently experienced a "sudden acceleration incident". Our 2008 Scion Xb was driven over 122,000 miles without major malfunction until 3:30 pm on September 26 2014. Then, after stopping at our mailbox on the left side of the road, I proceeded 15 feet to our driveway entrance and made a left turn to position the car to pass through our gate, about 20 feet ahead. My speed was under 5 mph. I may or may not have touched the brake and/or accelerator pedal to adjust speed. Suddenly, the engine roared into wide-open-throttle and the car lurched forward. The car went through the gate, grazing the left gatepost, which shattered the left-front hubcap and sheared off the left mirror mount. The car then careened down our driveway while I attempted to steer and apply the brake. After about 2 seconds, during which the car traversed about 100 feet down the driveway, the engine abruptly slowed to normal and the brakes stopped the car. Damage included the sheared-off left mirror assembly, left-front hubcap, and minor denting of the left-front wheel well. The car engine has behaved normally since but has not been driven beyond our driveway. I experienced no impact or injury, aside from shock.

I purchased a scion 2009 xb for my mom. A few months ago, she complained it accelerated unexpectedly in her driveway. I assumed operator error. She was killed in it two weeks ago when it left the roadway at an extremely high speed and witnesses said it accelerated out of control. She traveled 750 feet after she left the roadway and was severely injured when it hit a very deep drainage ditch. She died the next day. There was no evidence of braking at all but she missed several people and several large trees. Updated 05/19/10 updated 06/17/jb.
