I HAVE A 2004 SCION XB. THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE CAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR BRAKING ISSUES TO THE ONES CURRENTLY BEING DESCRIBED FOR THE 2010 PRIUS: MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY WHILE TRAVELING OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, POTHOLE OR BUMP. ON 2 OR 3 OCCASIONS I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY TOYOTA DEALER WHEN I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, BUT THEY HAVE SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEREFORE COULD NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY CAN EXPERIENCE IT TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I'M NOT SURE WHT…

I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2004 SCION XB AND THE CAR KEPT GOING EVEN THOUGH I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKE. I SAW THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK ON THE PEDAL AND REACHED DOWN AND PULLED IT AWAY. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I REMOVED THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES SINCE THEN. *TR

NUMEROUS TIMES MY 2004 TOYOTA SCIONXB REQUIRED ME TO SOMETIMES PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT DUE TO THE ENGINE RACING. WHEN I TOLD TOYOTA SERVICE ABOUT IT, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. JUNE 1, 2005 APPROACHING A KIDS PLAYGROUND AREA AT 30MPH, I PUT ON BRAKES AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THE BRAKE DID NOT HOLD, I HIT THE REAR OF THE CAR AHEAD OF ME , I BRAKED AGAIN AND HIT THE CAR AGAIN. NO DAMAGE TO THE OTHER CAR BUT I WAS CITED FOR A MAJOR ACCIDENT, 1ST ONE IN 50 YRS OF DRIVING INCLUD…

I PURCHASED A 2004 SCION XB FOR MY DAUGHTER IN JUNE 2009. SHE CAME HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT (JULY 17, 2010) AND WHEN SHE STOPPED HER SCION IN THE DRIVEWAY, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE (JUST BEFORE PUTTING IT IN PARK), THE CAR ACCELERATED. SHE INSTINCTLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE TO CHECK IT, THE CAR WAS STILL IDLED UP WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE. *TR

IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY, BUT BY THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THE RAIN HAD BEEN OVER FOR A FEW HOURS. I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH, AND I REACHED A HILL IN THE ROAD, AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO INCREASE MY MOMENTUM. I THEN EASED OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DIDN'T EASE UP WITH ME. INSTEAD, IT KEPT GOING DOWN. I TRIED THE BRAKES. THEY WERE LOCKED UP. AFTER SEEING ALL THE HORROR STORIES OF TOYOTA'S FLOOR MATS, I IMMEDIATELY RIPPED MY FLOOR MAT OUT FROM UNDER MY FEET AND THREW IT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR CO…
