I WAS DRIVING WITH MY SUNROOF OPEN. I HEARD A LOUD POP FOLLOWED BY A PIECE OF THE GLASS DEFLECTOR SHIELD FELL INTO MY VEHICLE, HITTING ME ON THE HEAD. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AT MY SUNROOF AND SAW A SPIDERWEB LIKE CRACK ON THE WIND DEFLECTOR WITH NO POINT OF IMPACT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART AS I AM TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP, SCION'S CORPORATE OFFICE, AND ONLINE. THE RECALL ID IS 50S. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE, AND IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE IN REGARDS TO THE PART, I AM BEING TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE PART. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT AND DO HAVE A CASE NUMBER FOR IT IF NEEDED FOR INVESTIGATION. *TR

I HIT A DEER AND THE HOOD BUSTED, THE BATTERY BUSTED AND THE RADIATOR BUSTED. ROCCO'S COLLISION IN TURNERSVILLE LIED, PROGRESSIVE IN MOUNT LAUREL LIED, COPART IN TRENTON OR GLASSBORO GOT IT FROM A AUTO IN SEWELL NEW JERSEY. THESE 4 PLACES SPUN MY CAR IN A CIRCLE PRETENDING TO FIX IT, WHILE THEY STOLE PARTS AND PRETENDED IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. IT WAS LESS THAN 1000 DOLLARS REPORTED AS $8500 IN DAMAGE. I LOST $17,000 AND GOT PAID $10,300....THEY EVEN STOLE THE DEDUCTIBLE AND FIXED NOTHING. *TR

TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I FELT SOMETHING POP UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE STEERING BOOMERANGED TO THE LEFT, I WAS NOT ABLE TO RECOVER AS IT WAS LIKE IT WAS LOCKED.UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHICH WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR AS IT ACCELERATED . THE CAR CROSSED THE CENTER LINE INTO A RESIDENTIAL YARD HITTING A TREE HEAD ON. I ENDED UP WITH FACIAL, CLAVICLE, RIB, PELVIS AND HIP FRACTURES. THE PHYSICIANS SAY IT WILL BE A YEAR BEFORE I WILL BE ABLE TO WORK AND I MAY END UP WITH A PERMANENT LIMP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 072913 UPDATE: CRASH ON JUNE 5, 2012 RESULTED IN PERMANENT DISABILITY, FOOT DROP, AN "ERECTOR SET" INSIDE MY LEG/HIP/PELVIS, ALWAYS WEARING THE LEG BRACE, DEALING WITH ATROPHY, PAIN/DISCOMFORT, LOSING THE HOUSE, NEED HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE APT, FINANCES SUCK, WILL ALWAYS BE PAYING THE MEDICAL BILLS, CAN'T GO BACK TO WORK (EVER), HAVE ALREADY BECOME A BURDEN TO OTHER TAXPAYERS & THE LAWYER ADVISED NO SUCCESSFUL TORT WAS POSSIBLE AGAINST TOYOTA SCION BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER WITNESS...
