2015 SCION TC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SCION TC. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE SUN ROOF BECAME STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO LEITH TOYOTA (8005 CAPITAL BLVD, RALEIGH, NC 27616, (919) 876-5900) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BU THE RESULTS WERE NOT DISCLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

THERE IS A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRUCK AREA THAT MY BODY SHOP CANT IDENTIFY. PLS HELP FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHEN PARKED IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL NOT DEPRESSED WHILE RUNNING MY CARS TRANSMISSION MAKES A WHINING NOISE AND ONLY GOES AWAY WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO ENGAGE THE CLUTCH. ONCE YOU RELEASE THE CLUTCH IT CONTINUES MAKING THE NOISE. HOT AND COLD TEMPERATURES DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE DEALERSHIP THINKS IT'S THE BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT 100% SURE UNTIL I PAY THEM TO OPEN TRANSMISSION. TOYOTA HAS A HISTORY OF BEARINGS GOING BAD IN THE TC TRANSMISSIONS AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AND REQUESTS YOU TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION.

ROOF PANEL FRONT GLASS SHATTERED AROUND THE EDGES WHILE PARKED. WHOLE ROOF PANEL WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.

ABOUT 5:15 PM, DRIVING WESTBOUND IN THE SUN, ON A CLEAR DAY, IN THE FAR LEFT LANE OF A 4 LANE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65-70 MPH, APPROACHING A SOUTHBOUND RAMP. THERE WERE 3 VEHICLES, A MINI COOPER IN FRONT AND RIGHT AND A TRUCK BEHIND, ALL 3 CARS ARE AT LEAST 3-4 CAR LENGTHS AWAY IN NO TRAFFIC. BOTH WINDOWS ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN, LISTENING TO MUSIC, NOT BLARING, WHEN I SUDDENLY HEAR AN INCREDIBLY LOUD POP. I THINK MY TIRE BLEW OUT, BUT NO CHANGE IN MANEUVERABILITY OR LIGHTS BLINKING ON THE DASH. I LOOK IN FRONT AND TO THE COOPER TO THE RIGHT AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THEIR DRIVING, ALL FLOWING WITH TRAFFIC, BEHIND NO CHANGE AS WELL. ASSUME SOMETHING HIT THE SIDE OF CAR. STILL SHAKEN FROM THE SOUND I CONTINUE COMMUTE NOW GOING SOUTHBOUND, WHEN I HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE DRIVING ON SAND. NOT THAT POSSIBLE ON A FREEWAY WITHOUT ME NOTICING, MY INSTINCT WAS TO PULL BACK SUNROOF SHADE TO FIND THE GLASS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. AND CONTINUED TO LISTEN TO IT SHATTER FOR THE REST OF MY 15 MINUTE COMMUTE HOME. WAS UNABLE TO TAKE STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP SINCE THEY WERE ABOUT TO CLOSE AND DROVE IT IN THE NEXT MORNING. 12 HOURS & COUNTING, I WAS TOLD TO PAY $1340 OR LEAVE AND FIND BETTER LUCK ELSEWHERE. IF A ROCK CREATED THIS DAMAGE I WOULD HAVE WENT STRAIGHT TO A JUNKYARD AND GOT IT REPLACED NO PROBLEM. BUT NO ROCK DID THIS DAMAGE. I WAS TOLD BY A MGR. THAT WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN A ROCK CAN COME IN AND HIT IT, WITH THE WIND AND PRESSURE A POP CAN HAPPEN. UNBELIEVABLE. AS OF NOW 10/17, 6 HRS. AFTER TAKING CAR IN, I AM AWAITING A DIST. MGR. TO RESPOND TO AN EMAIL IN HOPES THAT I CAN BE HELPED OUT WITH THIS SITUATION, NOT REPAIRED & REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE ON BEHALF OF THE DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE AN OCCURRENCE THAT I NEED TO WAIT ON A RESPONSE TO AN EMAIL, THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED QUICKLY AND FREE OF STRESS & CHARGE TO CONSUMER WHEN NO OTHER OUTSIDE FORCE CAUSED THE DAMAGE.

I WAS DRIVING 73 MPH ON A HIGHWAY (I-25) PASSING ANOTHER CAR WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THEN THE CRACKLING SOUND OF GLASS RUNNING DOWN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE MOON ROOF. NO CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME BUT IT WAS REALLY COLD COMING UP TO SANTA FE, NM. IT WAS ABOUT 18 DEGREES AND I HAD THE FOOT HEATER ON #3. I BELIEVE IT WAS A COMBINATION OF THE HEAT, ALTITUDE AND THE COLD GLASS THAT MADE MY MOON ROOF EXPLODE. VERY SCARY. DEALER SAID THEY DO NOT COVER WINDOWS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 SCION TC. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE WRIST AND HAND, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,457.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE DRIVER SIDE "SIDE AIRBAGS" DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER. JUST SO HAPPEN, THE POLICE WAS DRIVER IN THE NEXT LANE OVER AND WITNESSED THE WHOLE THING. I AM HAVING A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH TOYOTA. I CHOSE TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THE RELIABILITY OF THE CAR AND THIS THE THE 2ND BRAND NEW TOYOTA FOR MY DAUGHTER. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, THIS WILL BE THE LAST.

MY FIANC HAD A SEIZURE WHILE DRIVING HER SCION TC (2015). SHE RAN INTO THE DUMPSTER AT A COFFEE SHOP. WITNESSES AND AUTHORITIES CONFIRMED THE SPEED WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH FOR AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. BECAUSE OF HER BODY SEIZING SHE ACCELERATED. CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES INSIDE THE COFFEE SHOP HEARD THE CRASH. THE DUMPSTER IS ALL THE WAY IN THE REAR OF THE BUILDING. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS A RESULT SHE IS SUFFERING INJURIES SUSTAINED.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR NO MORE THAN 40 MPH IN A STREET WHERE THEIR WAS SOMEWHAT LIGHT TRAFFIC AROUND ME. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD "BOOM',SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT OR SOMETHING EXPLODED. I PULLED OVER TO PARK AND NOTICE MY SUN ROOF GLASS WAS RAISING UP AND IT EXPLODED INTO PIECES CAUSING A BIG HOLE OF DAMAGE AND GLASS ALL INSIDE MY VEHICLE. I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THE NOISE AS WELL,VERY SCARY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TELLING THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME IS THAT I MUST OF HAD A ROCK HIT ME? ARE YOU SERIOUS? I HAD NO CARS AROUND ME THAT WERE POSSIBLE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN,AND IF SO WHY WAS THE GLASS SHATTERED FLAT AND NOT UPWARDS LIKE ITS SUPPOSE TO CAUSE IF SOMETHING HIT IT. THE DEALER DID NOT WANT TO HELP ME OUT FURTHER EVEN WITH MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE SAME PERSON HELPING ME OUT MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER RIGHT ACROSS FROM THEM (KIA) HAD JUST CALLED THEM AND MENTIONED THEY HAD A 2015 SCION SAME VEHICLE AS MINE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS CAR WAS PARKED THE WHOLE TIME ON THE LOT. THIS IMMEDIATELY MADE ME THINK ITS A CAR FAULT BUT THE GM WOULD NOT HELP ME FURTHER. I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL AND WAIT TILL TOMORROW TO SPEAK TO A PROFESSIONAL ABOUT MY VEHICLE.
