I have a 2006 aveo. Every since we bought it when you apply the brake it speeds up. It does not do this all the time. This last time I almost t-boned a truck. I stopped it by turning off the key and just avoided a wreck. Have you had any other complaints about this? I contacted the dealer when this first happened and they said that nothing was wrong with the car. After what has happened with toyota I'm concerned.

While driving at about 60 MPH on the freeway a car sped up on the left side of me while I was merging into the left lane, I swerved to the right but still had control of the car until all of a sudden the brake locked and the car shut off and started to spin out of control and almost flipped over. I did not stomp on the brake or turn the wheel very hard at all, the car seems very unbalanced when driving defensively which I believe could cause a car flip. Thank god the oncoming traffic stopped.
