SCION XB 2009 THE DRIVER SEAT HAS TWO WIRES POKING OUT FROM THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. THE TWO WIRES ARE VERY STRONG AND CANNOT BE PUSHED BACK INTO THE SEAT. THE TWO WIRES ARE ALSO VERY VERY SHARP. I HAVE CUT MYSELF ON IT AND MY CHILD HAVE CUT THEMSELVES ON IT. THIS VERY DANGEROUS WARRENTY HAS EXPIRED BUT I FEEL THAT THE SEATS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THEY POSE A HUGE DANGER TO PASSENGERS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS WOULD AFFECT US IF WE DID GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. COULD AN IMPACT CAUSE THIS WIRES TO COME THROUGH AND INJURE THE PASSENGER BEHIND? *TR

TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING. WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THERE WAS A TSB ISSUED BUT I'M TOLD MY VIN ISN'T ONE EFFECTED. *TR PROBLEM IS A DEFECTIVE COMPUTER (ECM) UNDER THE DRIVER DASH. LOSS OF POWER STEERING IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. TOYOTA DOWNPLAYED IT AS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. IT ONLY TOOK ME 4 MINUTES TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS.

2006 TOYOTA SCION XB REAR HATCH RELEASE. IT BROKE WITHOUT ANY FAULTY USE. THE TOYOTA REPLACEMENT IS NOT SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.

I JUST WANT TO LIST MY COMPLAINT ALONG WITH THE OTHER SEVERAL THOUSAND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
