2012 SCION XB Complaints

Driver was traveling at 75 mph when the hood suddenly released. Both latches failed and the hood flew up against the windshield with enough force to crease the hood and dent the roof. Inside the vehicle, the done light and the rear view mirror were knocked loose. Incident occurred at night with no other traffic on the road and Driver was able to pull over without further incident. If there had been other vehicles, the sudden lack of visibility would likely have resulted in a crash.

I have to add oil every 500 to 800 miles no visible smoke from engine or exhaust when cold or hot. ???? HELP

White paint is peeling exposing many of the car panels which are starting to rust (structural damage)

The contact owns a 2012 Scion XB. The contact stated that the vehicle was exhibiting excessive engine oil consumption. The contact stated that the oil pressure warning light would illuminate approximately 1,000 miles prior to the next scheduled oil change. The contact stated that the oil pressure warning light recently illuminated less than a month after the previous oil change; 2,500 miles prior to the next oil change. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The contact stated that 4 quarts of oil was consumed prior to the next scheduled oil change and suggested that there was leak. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the failure was related to Toyota Technical Service Bulletin Number: SB0024-11R2. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TURNED A CORNER. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO DEALER, WHERE I HAVE ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE (EXCEPT ONCE). CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE NO OIL IN IT BEFORE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. THIS HAPPENED 6 MONTHS PREVIOUSLY AND WAS THOUGHT TO BE A PVC PLUG ISSUE. WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO WORN PISTON RINGS, ULTIMATELY THE FAULT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ETHANOL IN GASOLINE. SOLUTION - KEEP CHECKING THE OIL AND ADD AS NEEDED. NOT WORTH REPAIRING THE PISTON RINGS.
