2008 SCION XB Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS RECALL HAS BEEN UP SICE MAY, I AM CURRENTLY MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I CANT DRIVE SINCE I WORK FOR UBER AND LYFT. THEY HAVE YET TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. THIS IS REALLY MESSING ME UP FINANCIALLY, YET NO ONE CAN SEEM TO GIVE ANY ANSWERS. IM THINKING I SHOULD GET AN ATTORNEY.

TAKATA RECALL....I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT DUE TO RECALL. IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS AND NEED TO RESOLVE.

AIRBAG RECALL NO HELP OR FIX FROM MANUFACTURE ITS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS LETS GET IT TOGETHER TOYOTA

TAKATA RECALL: PAX SIDE AIRBAG. NOTIFIED 6 MONTHS AGO. USE CAR INTERMITTENTLY TO TRANSPORT ELDERLY FATHER AND OBESE BROTHER, NEITHER OF WHOM CAN GET INTO THE REAR SEAT AREA. TOYOTA OFFERED A LOANER CAR, BUT WILL NOT GIVE ME A SIMILAR MODEL (THEY WANT TO GIVE ME A TINY COROLLA); AND, WILL REQUIRE ME TO TURN IN MY CAR. IF TURNED IN, I CAN'T GET MY CAR BACK UNTIL REPAIRED, AND, THEY WILL LEAVE IT OUTDOORS, EXPOSED TO HAIL AND SUN (TEXAS). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM BEING DEPRIVED OF THE RIGHT TO USE MY CAR IN THE CUSTOMARY MANNER IN WHICH IT IS USED.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED ON MAY, 23 2016 AND AS OF DECEMBER 10, 2016 NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS FAR BEYOND WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A TIMELY RESOLUTION TO SUCH A SEVERE SAFETY RISK.

TAKATA RECALL. IF IT WASN'T FOR AN NBC NEWS REPORT ON THE PROBLEM I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT I WAS AT RISK. THERE HAS BEEN NO NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA/SCION. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHICH WAS LISTED AS A PRIORITY AREA BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. QUALIFIED FOR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. OIL CONSUMPTION TEST CONDUCTED THROUGH DEALERSHIPS IS RIGGED. I HAVE CHARGED THE OIL USAGE IN MY CAR FOR OVER 24 MONTHS AND IT BURNS THROUGH IN EXCESS OF A QUART EVERY 800 - 900 MILES.

WE WERE INFORMED OF THIS RECALL IN AUGUST OF 2016, AND WE WERE ADVISED NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. AS A FAMILY OF FOUR, THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT. IT MEANS WE CAN NEVER HAVE AN EXTRA PASSENGER, AND IT MEANS THAT ONE ADULT IS ALWAYS CRAMMED IN THE BACK SEAT WITH TWO KIDS, EVEN ON LONG CAR TRIPS. WE HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD FROM TOYOTA SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE, AND WE'RE INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED, IRRITATED, AND UNIMPRESSED. BY NOW, TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE 1. KEPT US UPDATED ABOUT FIXES, AND 2. OFFERED US A LOANER VEHICLE, SINCE OUR USE OF OUR CAR IS SO LIMITED BY THE RECALL.
