WE WERE DRIVING IN A SLOW SPEED WHEN I WANTED TO STOP SLOWLY AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP, AND FELT LIKE IT GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAY OF THE BRAKES, THEN STOP SUDDENLY AND ACCELERATED. IT WAS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE WE WERE TO A SHORT DISTANCE TO CRASH. I WAS WITH MY HUSBAND AND MY DOG WAS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY MADE AN INSPECTION BUT THEY TOLD US THAT THE CAR WAS FINE AND THAT THE BRAKES WERE WORKING PRETTY WELL, THIS REVISION WAS THE NEXT DAY (APRIL 16TH). ON THE 28TH OF THE SAME MONTH WHEN WE WERE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WE ARE REALLY CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. *TR

There is a repetitive problem with mold and AC leaks with the Scion xD. I’m having breathing problems and I feel sick. Geico and Toyota have discovered mold in my vehicle. It is actually visible but I have no idea how long there has been a leak or how long I have been breathing in mold. The AC line is under the carpet with no protective barrier which is an ideal environment for mold to grow. When I looked up a way to fix the issue several videos came up with many others who have the same issue which means it is not a maintenance issue it is a defect that has never been recalled. Toyota has serviced my vehicle for years and never brought up this issue. I didn’t notice a problem until there was a pool of water in my car and mold growing on my seats. When I brought it in to Toyota they told me what the problem was instantly. They’ve seen it plenty of times before. When I looked online I see several owners of ScionxD made in different years with the same problem. How long has my car had this leak and how long have I been breathing in mold before it was visible to my eye? Seeing as there are so many Toyota Scion drivers/owners with this issue I am reporting it to NHTSA and calling Toyota Scion Corporate Headquarters. Corporate headquarters did nothing about the issue even after I expressed my concern for the children in danger of being exposed to mold who ride in these cars everyday. I am still breathing heavy and suffering from headaches. The Toyota dealership said it would cost $4400 to fix the entire issue. Why place a tube under a carpet without protection? I wish I was informed of this earlier.
