Toyota Scion Xa Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Nov 22, 2013
Reported on Nov 22, 2013
| I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND USING CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF, THE LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HOLD SPEED. THE I TRIED TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND DECELERATE/ACCELERATE, BUT THE ONLY EFFECT WAS ACCELERATING UP TO 80MPH. STEPPING ON THE BRAKES ONLY SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN AND DIDN'T DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I TRIED TO SHIFT THE GEARS TO NEUTRAL AND STILL NO EFFECT EXCEPT THE ENGINE REVVING TO THE RED LINE. SO I FLOORED THE BRAKES AND COULD ONLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO 20MPH. WORRIED ABOUT WHAT ELSE MAY HAPPEN, I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED ON TO A STREET. SEEING NO OTHER OPTIONS, I CHOSE TO JUST TURN THE ENGINE OFF. AT THAT POINT THE POWER BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING. SO I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO PARK AND WE STOPPED ABRUPTLY. *TR | |
