2008 SCION XB Complaints

POWER STEERING WENT OUT. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS IT IS HAPPENING TO MANY 2008 SCION XB OWNERS. FROM PARKED, TURN KEY TO START, POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS AND WARNING LIGHTS FLASH. TOO MANY 2008 SCION XBS ON THE ROAD TODAY ARE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER.

TOOK CAR TO THOMAS TOYOTA IN JOLIET, IL AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME AS TO WHEN I COULD BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR. NEVER HEARD BACK FROM DEALER. WHO ELSE CAN I BRING THE CAR TO FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS?

TANKATA RECALL IT'S A POTENTIALLY DEADLY RECALL AND IT IS TAKING TOYOTA 9 ALMOST 10 MONTHS TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED. THIS SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE TO TOYOTA AND THE NHSTA. I CANNOT USE MY PASSENGER SEAT FOR 10 MONTHS? RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SCION XB. WHILE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WAS RUNNING WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE DOORS INDEPENDENTLY LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE IGNITION KEY WAS REMOVED AND THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS INDEPENDENTLY LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING WITH HER GRANDCHILD IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE POLICE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SORT OF UPDATE ON THE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SCION XB. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE LOCAL DEALER (AUTONATION TOYOTA LOCATED AT 1 CARDINAL PARK DR SE, LEESBURG, VA 20175; (571) 357-3965) CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY UNTIL DECEMBER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 888-270-9371 AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WE ARE VICTIMS OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE TOYOTA WAS HAVING WITH CERTAIN MODELS. WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP COMPLAINING ABOUT LOW OIL AFTER WE HAD TO PUT OIL IN THE CAR AFTER WE HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE. WE THEN FIGURED OUT THIS ISSUE HAD BEEN OUTSTANDING FOR YEARS BUT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE ISSUE. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY EXPLAIN THE WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST MONTH AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP US OUT AT ALL. HOW COULD THEY ABANDON A CUSTOMER WHEN A KNOWN ISSUE HAS OCCURRED. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT SEVERAL CARS HAD COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS COMMON. HOW COULD TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH A FAULTY PRODUCT AND NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THEY HAVE LOST MY SUPPORT SINCE THEY WILL NOT SUPPORT ME. WE NOW HAVE A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE COST OF REPAIRS. THIS FINANCIALLY SETS US BACK AND WILL NOW PUT MY FAMILY INTO A FINANCIAL BIND SINCE WE ARE FORCED INTO LOOKING FOR ANOTHER RELIABLE CAR TO COMMUTE TO WORK IN. THANKS FOR NOTHING TOYOTA.

"TAKATA RECALL". I RECEIVED THE TOYOTA RECALL NOTICE AND WARNING ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL ON 2/13/17. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA AND THE DEALER THEY ARE UNABLE TO GIVE ME A REASONABLE TIME WHEN MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED. I AM TOLD THAT THEY ARE FOCUSING ON CARS IN THE SOUTH WHERE THE HUMIDITY IMPACTS ARE GREATER. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE HUMID SOUTH. I AM VERY NERVOUS DRIVING THE CAR. CAN YOU HELP ME GET IT FIXED?
