I have a 2006 Aveo. Every since we bought it when you apply the brake it speeds up. It does not do this all the time. This last time I almost T-boned a truck. I stopped it by turning off the key and just avoided a wreck. Have you had any other complaints about this? I contacted the dealer when this first happened and they said that nothing was wrong with the car. After what has happened with Toyota I'm concerned.
