2008 SCION XB Complaints

REAR WHEEL PASSENGER SIDE OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND CAN'T BE FIXED. TOP SIDE LEANS INWARD. CAR NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT AND IT HAS ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM OF WEAR ON THAT TIRE SIDE. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY A AN ALIGNMENT TECHNICIAN, THAT IT COULD BE A KNOWN ISSUE AS HE HAD SEEN THIS ON MANY SCIONS. ITS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I CAN REMEMBER. ALWAYS BUYING NEW TIRES DUE TO THIS CONDITION. DUE TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL, CAR WANTS TO VIER TO RIGHT MOST OFTEN, EVEN WITH PERFECT ALIGNMENT IN THE FRONT. PURCHASED NEW LATE 2007

TAKATA RECALL-- RECVD NOTICE OF RECALL IN AUGUST 2016. CALLED BEAMAN PONTIAC IMMEDIATELY AND PART WAS NOT IN. TO THIS DAY PART IS NOT IN. MY SON IS DRIVING THIS CAR AND IS 24 SO HE CANNOT HAVE A RENTAL. HE DRIVES ALL THE TIME FOR HIS JOB AND HAS HIS WIFE WITH HIM MOST OF THE TIME. SHE IS NOT GOING TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT ALL THE TIME. SHE COULD BE KILLED IF A WRECK OCCURRED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

THE RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE MAY 2016, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY AIR BAG REPLACED OVER A YEAR LATER. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS DONE?

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH AND STILL NO RESOLUTION YET. WE ARE TOLD THAT WE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR WITH A PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS FIX IS TAKING SO LONG. WE RELY ON OUR CAR FOR FAMILY TRANSPORTATION AND THIS IS PREVENTING US FROM RIDING IN THE CAR SAFELY.
