SCION Complaints

I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2004 SCION XB AND THE CAR KEPT GOING EVEN THOUGH I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKE. I SAW THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK ON THE PEDAL AND REACHED DOWN AND PULLED IT AWAY. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I REMOVED THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES SINCE THEN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SCION XB. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE OVER 50 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SLIGHTLY SWAY FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OCCASIONALLY VEER INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLANKING SOUND WHENEVER THE VEHICLE TRAVELED OVER A ROUGH TERRAIN. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AFTER A COLD START THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING NOISE FOR THE FIRST 5 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EACH FAILURE, HOWEVER THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NONE OF THE FAILURES COULD BE REPRODUCED OR SERVICED. THE CONTACT HAS NOTICED THE FAILURES SINCE THE DAY HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 26500.

MY 2008 SCION XB WAS REAR ENDED WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME WAS A LARGER CHEVY SUV TRAVELING AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 35 MPH SENDING MY SCION INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE STOP LIGHT. MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED... I WAS TOLD TO NOTIFY YOUR AGENCY. *TR

1. I DON'T KNOW THE REASON FOR IT BUT THE STEERING WHEEL NORMALLY TURN BY THEMSELVES AT HIGHER SPEED EVEN MY HAND IS ON STEERING WHEEL . 2.I FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL OVER THE CAR'S STEERING, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NORMALLY IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY AND SOMETIME ON CITY TOO . SOMETIME I LOOKED OVER TO SEE IF THERE IS A HOLE ON STREET THAT MADE MY STEERING WHEEL TURNING W/O REASON BUT THERE WEREN'T A HOLE ON CITY STREET. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT WHEN SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HIT THE FRONT END OF THE CAR THAT PULLED OUT. APROX 35-40 MPH. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND I HIT THE ROOF AND BENT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE IMPACT OF MY BODY. POLICE ARRIVED AND I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. MY 2008 SCION XB RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT OF $12,000. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE ACCIDENT AND THIS CONCERNS ME. *TR

I OWN A 2008 SCION XD (AKA COROLLA HATCHBACK) THAT HAS STEERING PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2008. THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL POWERED STEERING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT TENDS TO WANDER AROUND IN THE LANE AND REQUIRES CONSTANT MONITORING TO AVOID DRIFTING INTO OTHER LANES. I AM EXPECTING TO BE PULLED OVER FOR DRUNK DRIVING SOMEDAY. MY WIFE DROVE IT ONE TIME AND NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. THE STEERING PROBLEM HAS BEEN EVIDENT SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. NOTE====> VEHICLE IS SCION XD <============ (XD IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE DROP DOWN MENU ON THE NEXT PAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

2010 SCION XB-THE STEERING WILL SOMETIMES FEEL AS IF IT JUST GIVES OUT. IT ONLY HAPPENS FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS-BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING. I HAVE FELT IT HAPPEN TWICE NOW-THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A RAMP AND IT FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO GO STRAIGHT OFF THE RAMP--BUT IT KEPT CURVING AS IT SHOULD-THEN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WAS RESTORED AND I WAS FINE. *TR
