2009 SCION TC Complaints

HELLO, BACK IN 2016 I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT SAID THAT TOYOTA WAS HAVING THIS OIL PROBLEM WITH ITS VEHICLES BURNING TO MUCH OIL. THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN A CERTAIN TEST ON YOUR VEHICLE AND MAKE YOU DRIVE IT 1200 MILES AND IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILED THEY WOULD COVER FIXING THE PISTON ISSUES THAT WERE A MANUFACTURED PROBLEM ON THERE PART. I WENT AND AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS 131,049 MILES ON IT. THEY TOOK IT IN BUT CAME OUT SHORTLY AFTER SAYING MY ENGINE WAS NOT THE ENGINE OF MY VEHICLE MEANING IT HAD BEEN REPLACED. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE WITH A CLEAN TITLE CHECKED THE CAR FAX AND THERE WAS NOTHING ON THIS VEHICLE STATING THAT THE ENGINE HAD ANY WORK ASIDE OF SMALL WORK LIKE OIL CHANGES. MY VEHICLE RAN FINE AND DID NOT BURN OIL AT THAT TIME, NOW IT'S AT ABOUT 160,000 AND IT'S BURNING A FULL QUART AT 300 MILES. I WENT TO INVESTIGATE AND LOOKED ONLINE TO CHECK MY SERVICES PERFORMED AND WHEN I LOOKED AT MY SERVICES IT SAID THAT TOYOTA JUST CHANGED THE FLOOR MATS IT DIDN'T SAY THAT I WENT IN THERE WITH THE ORIGINAL ISSUE OF THE BURNING OIL AND TO GET IT TESTED AND FIXED. IM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SEEING AS THERE SERVICE STATEMENT IS NOT ONLY UNTRUE BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THEY LIED TO GET OUT OF FIXING THE ENGINE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AFTER A FRONT END COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE DRIVERS STEERING WHEEL AND KNEE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED PROPERLY. THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT TENSIONED THE DRIVERS SEATBELT BUT IGNITED A FIRE IN DRIVERS SIDE TRIM BEHIND THE DOOR PILLAR. THE FIRE MELTED THE INTERIOR TRIM PANELS AND SURROUNDING PLASTIC PARTS.

HELLO- I RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER AND WAS ADVISED IN THAT LETTER THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK MY CAR AND THE LETTER FOR TOYOTA TO CHECK MY CAR. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT MY VEHICLE WAS CHECKED UNTIL LAST WEEK THAT MY CAR HAD NO ENGINE OIL. AT THAT TIME MY CAR WAS 2K MILES AWAY FROM A NEW OIL CHANGE. I THEN CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS ADVISED THAT TOYOTA SERVICE TECHNICIANS NEVER TESTED OR CHECKED MY VEHICLE BECAUSE MY CAR IS SALVAGED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 SCION TC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST, NECK, AND SHOULDER INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

MY DAUGHTER AND SON WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AS A PASSENGER IN A SCION TC 2009 AND THE CAR ROLLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK PASSENGER SEAT BELTS UNLATCHED AND THE PASSENGER CURTAIN AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY OR INFLATE. WITH THESE DEFECTS, MY DAUGHTERS LEGS WERE TRAPPED UNDER THE CAR AND SUSTAINED TRAUMATIC BONE DAMAGE IN WHICH HER PROGNOSIS AT THIS TIME IS UNKNOWN. HER LEFT ANKLE, THE TALUS, FIBULA, AND TIBIA WERE CRUSHED. CURRENTLY SHE HAD AN EX FIX ON HER LEFT LEG AND TWO PLATES AND PINS PLACED ON HER FIBULA, THE PHYSICIANS SAY SHE WILL NEVER WALK THE SAME AND SHE CURRENTLY IS UNABLE TO BEAR ANY WEIGHT ON EITHER FOOT DUE TO THE FRACUTES SUSTAINED FROM HER BEING EJECTED FROM THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE SEATBELT RELEASE AND THE FAILURE OF DEPLOYMENT OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG.

NO ACCIDENT BUT RECEIVED POTENIAL RECALL AND NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST TAKATA AIRBAGS IN SCION CARS.

THE CAR IS USING 8-10 QUARTS OF OIL A YEAR. THERE WAS A TOYOTA RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, BUT THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THIS AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL AND WITHIN SPECIFCIATIONS.

THE MOONROOF ON MY SCION TC SHATTERED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME AND I DID NOT SEE ANY LARGE OBJECTS HIT MY CAR. *TR

WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH OUR 2009 TOYOTA SCION USING EXCESSIVE OIL. WE HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF OIL IN EVERY 1,200-1,500 MILES AS THE CAR IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ENGINE WILL BLOW UP IF IT RUNS OUT OF OIL. THE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WE HAVE PUT OIL IN BUT THE LAST TIME WE CHECKED THE OIL, IT WAS LOW AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, THE CAR WAS PUT ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROGRAM. WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK WITH 1,200 AND THEY SAID THE CAR PASSED THE PROGRAM. AFTER 1,500 MILES, THE CAR WAS A QUART LOW ON OIL SO WE TOOK IT BACK TO TOYOTA IN SUNNYVALE, CA. THEY ADDED A QUART OF OIL AND ADVISED US TO BRING IT BACK IN JANUARY FOR A SECOND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE TECHNICIAN WHO PUT TH EOIL IN BOTH AGREED THAT THE CAR IS BURNING OIL AND STATED THAT IT IS WITHIN TOYOTA'S GUIDELINES OF BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,200 MILES WHICH IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT IN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,200 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA BY REPLACING THE PISTON RINGS IN THIS MOTOR.
