“I was driving my 2005 Scion XB to my office. As I slowed down and turned into a parking space when I applied the brakes the engine accelerated to 3000 rpms jumped the curb and ran into the back of the building. When I reported these facts to a toyota dealer they said they have never heard of a car doing that and it must have been a mistake on my part. Since the repair of the car in a period of two years the engine has done this four other times the repair people say they can't fix it unless it happens when they are working on the car. …”

The car was out of control and after applying the brakes put it in neutral it finally unstuck. Scion XB 2005 soon after this happened all the warning lights came on (service engine brake light etc. Took it to the dealer and they replaced a computer.
