Second time this happened...first they said battery...while driving, indicating warning lights on dash start blinking (abs, check engine, traction, and others), then the engine goes into low hear and stays until the vehicle is turned off and back on. during these episodes the speed odometer is erratic. also when in this state, the reverse gear does not engage. when this started it was a once a month problem, then weekly, now it happens daily/hourly. it started at approximately 40,000 miles. this happens while driving on city streets and highway, most of the time at stops and lower speeds but does happen on freeway too.
I was about to park at a burger king store at delano california 93215 and slowing down when my scion ia speed up more and kept on running while my foot is already on the brake. so i accidentally hit the store. it only stop because the tire where already up. i tried to reverse my car but cannot move anymore.
Tl* the contact owned a 2016 scion ia. while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated without warning. the contact stated that the failure occurred twice while stopped. the vehicle was taken to david wilson's toyota of las vegas (3255 e sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89104 (702) 457-2000), but the failure could not be duplicated. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the contact mentioned that he no longer owned the vehicle due to the acceleration issue. the vin was unavailable. the failure mileage was approximately 4,000. ...updated 10/19/17 *bf updated 12/12/2017*js
