| Accelerated (took off) while driving at highway speed (5 incidences)...originally i thought it was a problem with my aftermarket cruise control. i called dealership and reported that they should not recommend aftermarket cruise at the time...they claimed no other problems. after 2nd incidence cruise control was replaced by installer and he called the company...none was familiar with the problem on my cruise module (he showed me how to disconnect cruise under the hood since current still runs through mechanism since cruise was in off position during 2nd incident)...the problem then happened again (3 times in same day on way to airport)with new cruise mechanism. no problems in last 2 years, but it's a daily gamble...now i have to wonder if the cruise was ever even part of the equation in the problem with all the accelerator and other problems i've read online. i checked with the dealership again this year and they deny any problem with scion accelerators or brake not depressing (it always felt like my brake and gas were fighting like if you 2 footed in a manuel equally, but i own a automatic...it's very 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. *tr | |||

| Due to the upright position of the windshield a small rock can cause stars which lead to multiple leader cracks. due to grill design and position of a/c condenser a small rock can puncture causing a leak and require replacement costs of up to $1100 on a 4 month old car. toyota needs to realize that their design has major flaws with positioning. unfortunately, rocks are everywhere and if you drive any at all on the freeway you are surely going to encounter some. *jb | |||
