THE RIMS ON MY SCION/TOYOTA ARE CRACKING ARE CAUSING THE TIRES TO LEAK AIR. I CONTACTED SCION/TOYOTA BACK IN FEBRUARY 2011 ABOUT THESE RIMS CRACKING AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. GOODYEAR SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT MASON WELDING COMPANY TO HAVE THE WHEELS WELDED. I HAD TO AGAIN REPLACE THE TIRES FROM GOODYEAR BECAUSE THEY WERE WORN ON THE INSIDE. GOODYEAR DID STAND BEHIND THE WARRANTY ON THE TIRES BUT SHORTLY AFTER THE RIM STARTING LEAKING AIR AGAIN AND MY DAUGHTER GOT A FLAT TIRE. I WAS AGAIN INFORMED THAT THE RIMS WERE LEAKING. SHE WHEN TO FIRESTONE, AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THAT THE RIMS WERE CAUSING THE TIRES TO LEAK AIR. I HAD TO HAVE THE RIMS WELDED AGAIN. I WENT TO SOUTH CAROLINE, WHERE MY DAUGHTER GOES TO COLLEGE TO BRING HER HOME. I DROVE THE CAR BACK AND NOW THE RIMS ARE LEAKING AGAIN. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SCION/TOYOTA CAN OFFER THESE WHEELS AND THEN NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THESE RIMS ON THE ROAD IF THEY CONTINUE TO CAUSE THE TIRES TO GO FLAT. I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER, AS I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO HAVE CARS ON THE ROAD THAT THE RIMS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO WITH STAND OUR ROADWAYS. *TR

MY 2008 SCION TC'S REAR TRUCK HANDLE HAS BROKEN OFF. I HAVE NEVER OPENED MY TRUNK IN THE PAST NOR PRESENT WITH ANY FORCEFUL MANNER. THIS IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO A VEHICLE AND I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE TO FIND THAT THIS PRODUCTION FLAW BY TOYOTA/SCION HAS AFFECTED MANY. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES, FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT FAIL 12/26/09 TOYOTA FIXED/REPLACED NOW 4/3/12 DISCOVERED OIL IS BURNING TO THE POINT THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED OIL NO OIL SHOW ON OIL DIPSTICK THEN WENT TO AUTOZONE BOUGHT THE OIL AND TOPPED IT OFF 4/3/12. BEFORE THIS BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARINGS FAIL WORN OUT. REPLACED BOTH SIDES COST ALMOST $900 JUST PARTS ALONE. I'VE NEVER OWN A NEW CAR BEFORE THAT HAS SO MUCH ISSUES LIKE THIS ONE. THIS VEHICLE IS POORLY MADE AND TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IS THIS MEAN I WILL HAVE TO TOPPED OFF MY VEHICLE EVERY OTHER WEEK OR CHANGE MY REAR BEARING AND HUBS EVERY 50-70 MILES OR SOONER? THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND THIS IS NOT TOYOTA IT USED TO KNOWN FOR. I OWN HONDA/ACURA AND NISSAN NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. NOT EVEN ONCE AND HAVE THE VEHICLE MORE THAN 5-7 YEARS ALREADY. NOW MY REAR DOOR/TRUNK DON'T WANT TO OPEN LIKE THERE IS TIME DELAY OR SOME TYPE. WHY AREN'T TOYOTA WARN PEOPLE OF THE KNOW ISSUES OR FIXED IT BEFORE THEY SELL IT? *TR
