My car, a 2006 Scion Xb, while driving on surface streets began to rapidly accelerate out of control. When I tapped on the brakes several times, it slowed down and stopped the acceleration. I brought the car to bev smith Toyota & Scion, where the technicians determined that the cruise control software malfunctioned. It is important to note that the cruise control was off when this occurred. They believe that the software caused the issue.

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.

I own a 2006 Scion Xb and approximately 1 year ago had the accelerated stick to the floor mat after accelerating to pass another vehicle. Upon passing I took my foot off the accelerator and the car continued to gain speed. The gas pedal got stuck in the winter floor mat I had. It required me to use my foot and pull up on the gas pedal to release it. Since then I have always been cautious of this and have not had another problem. However, after reading about the issues with Toyota and Lexus I am concerned that this is also a problem with Scion vehicles. Felt I should report this to someone.
