2006 SCION TC Complaints

I WAS DRIVING UP SPRUCE STREET IN MANCHESTER NH. AS I WENT THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT AT THE CORNER OF SPRUCE ST AND BEECH ST, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT I WAS NOT AT FAULT FOR, BY SOMEONE WHO WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT, AS I WAS GOING THROUGH MY GREEN LIGHT. I WAS HIT VERY HARD (ALL THE IMPACT WAS TO THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE) AND I AM THANKFUL I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE WAS SO BAD MY CAR WAS ALMOST TOTALED ($7,200 IN REPAIRS). I WAS TOLD BY THE COLLISION CENTER THAT "THERE ARE MANY FACTORS THAT GO INTO THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING AND NOT DEPLOYING" I ALMOST FELT AS THOUGH I WAS BRUSHED OFF FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME MY LIFE. THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN ANYTHING DONE WITH MY AIRBAGS, I WAS ONLY TOLD THAT THEY "SHOULD" BE FINE. *TR

I OWNED A 2006 SCION TC. IT WAS RECENTLY TOTALED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH OVER 11,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE IMPACT WAS ON THE PASSENGER FRONT QUARTER PANEL AND REAR PASSENGER PANEL. THE IMPACT ALSO WAS ON THE BUMPER. THIS IS THE FOURTH IMPACT ON THE FRONT AND NO AIRBAGS HAVE EVER DEPLOYED. THANKFULLY, EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. *KB

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 SCION TC, STEERING ABILITY WAS COMPLETELY LOST. STEERING WHEEL WAS FREE SPINNING A COMPLETE 360 DEGREES. I HIT THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO STOP BECAUSE I WAS DOING ABOUT 30 MPH. THERE WAS NO WARNING, JUST SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING. THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT DISCONNECTED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SCION TC. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 30 MPH WHEN HE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A BROKEN STERNUM, A BROKEN LEFT WRIST, LEFT ELBOW AND SHOULDER. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 07/08/11

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SCION TC. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE SUNROOF GLASS UNEXPECTEDLY SHATTERED INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE METAL SUPPORT FRAME ALSO DISENGAGED. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE BROKEN PIECES OF GLASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT PREVIOUSLY WHENEVER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, A CLICKING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE SUNROOF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY 2006 TOYOTA SCION TC HAS THIS VERY FLIMSY HATCH BACK TRUNK HANDLE(PLASTIC) THAT BROKE. I HAVE SEEN MANY SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME MODEL TC ON THE ROAD. SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN PROBLEM AND TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS. LOOKING AT HOW THIS SYSTEM WAS PUT TOGETHER, I CAN TELL WHY THIS PIECE IS NOT LASTING. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 06 SCION TC THAT I BOUGHT IN NOV OF 2010, HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP SO I COULDN'T COMPLETE MY TURNS, ANDMY TC WOULD JUST KEEP GOING IN THE DIRECTION IT WAS LOCKED IN. BUT WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP IT WOULD BE FINE AGAIN. BUT TODAY, APRIL 13 OF 2011, I WAS TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION ONTO A ROAD, AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP MID TURN AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS A VAN THERE THAT I SMASHED INTO! MY WHEEL HAD LOCKED UP AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED TO TURN IT, IT WOULDN'T BUDGE! UNTIL I WAS WRECKED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VAN. THIS WAS NO PROBLEM OF MY DRIVING I WAS JUST TURNING ONTO A STREET AT ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR, WASN'T TEXTING, DISTRACTED OR ANYTHING. SCION/TOYOTAS NEED TO FIGURE OUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT COULD REALLY HURT SOMEONE! NOT TO MENTION NOW I HAVE A CITATION AND INSURANCE MONEY TO WORRY ABOUT. ONLY HAVING BOUGHT THIS CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO FROM A DEALERSHIP , THIS IS DISAPPOINTING, AND REALLY SCARED ME. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT PAYING MY WAY THROUGH SCHOOL AND DON'T JUST HAVE EXTRA MONEY TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAD NO WAY CONTROL OVER. *TR

ON 1/21/2011, 10:30 PM, I WAS DRIVING A 2006 SCION TC ON THE HIGHWAY, 70 MPH, I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AFTER JUST FINISH CHANGE LANE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE STEERING, IT WENT LEFT AND RIGHT, LEFT AND RIGHT AND SUDDENLY SWAYING ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF RIGHT SIDE (ACROSS 2-3 LANES), I COULD NOT SEE WHAT I AM GOING TO HIT, BUT I SAW THE WALL BEFORE I HIT SOMETHING ( IT WAS CAR AFTER I FOUND OUT), IT'S HAPPENED TOO FAST, AFTER THE HIT IN FRONT OF MY RIGHT SIDE OF CAR, I SWAYING BACK TO LEFT, ACROSS 3 LANES, MY CAR FINALLY STOP ON CAR POOL LINE. EVERYTHING JUST HAPPENED IN 5 SECONDS. THE CAR IS DAMAGED,I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED TO SCION, HOPE THEY CAN DO THE INSPECTION SOON. *TR

MY 2006 SCION TC TRUNK LATCH WAS HARD TO OPEN. THEN ONE DAY THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY FELL OFF. IN CHECKING WITH NHTSA IT WAS REVEALED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. HOW DO WE GET A RE-CALL?? *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE MAIN HIGHWAY A LADY PULLED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I WAS DOING 35MPH I COULD NOT STOP AND T-BONED HER. MY CAR HIT HER DIRECTLY IN THE SIDE AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE. IT CAUSED ME TO SLING FORWARD IN THE CAR SPRAINING MY NECK, SPINE, LOWER LUMBAR, BRUISING RIBS AND PINCHED NERVES. *TR
