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

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY BEHIND A SLOW TRUCK. WENT TO PASS AND ACCELERATED TO 50 MPH WHEN ENGINE BECAME ABNORMALLY LOUD AND FELT AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAD TAKEN OVER THE CAR AND IT WANTED TO RACE. RPMS WERE MAXED. I FLOORED BRAKES AND GOT VEHICLE TO SLOW TO 40MPH. PULLED BACK INTO MY LANE, BUT COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO ANY SLOWER. I FELT AS IF I WAS GOING TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. WITH TWO BIG TRUCKS BEHIND ME, I FEARED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I PULLED OFF ONTO THE GRAVEL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CONTINUED DRIVING. I COULD NOT STOP SO THREW IT INTO PARK AT 40 MPH. ENGINE MADE A HORRENDOUSLY LOUD NOISE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. TURNED CAR OFF AND ON. MADE SAME AWFUL NOISE. TURNE
