SCION Complaints

VEHICLE BURNING OIL AT INCREASINGLY FAST RATE, LARGE OIL CONSUMPTION. NO OIL LIGHT OR DASHBOARD WARNING. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY CAR SHUT DOWN... I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER GOT OUT...MY CAR WAS SMOKING... WITHIN MINUTES MY CAR WAS IN FLAMES.

WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AT LIGHTS THE CAR CONTINUES ROLLING FORWARD CAUSE ME TO HAVE TO DIFFERENT FENDER BENDERS

BRAKES MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN APPLIED AFTER COLD START OR LONG PERIOD OF TIME ENGINE IS OFF. NOISE DISAPPEARS AFTER 2-3 BRAKE ATTEMPTS AND BRIEFLY SHOWS UP AGAIN AFTERWARDS.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, GOING SLOWLY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR ACCELERATED. IT JUMPED THE CURB, TOOK OUT A TRASH CAN, PASSED BETWEEN 2 STEEL POLES (MEANT TO PROTECT THE BUILDING), TOOK OUT A TREE, HIT THE BUILDING, FINALLY STOPPING AT ANOTHER TREE. I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I REMEMBER THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES PREVIOUSLY BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP. AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR AT THE TOW LOT, MY SON AND I COULD SEE THAT THE FRAME WAS BENT SO I GAVE IT TO THE TOW LOT FOR THE COST OF TOW FEES. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED BEYOND ACHES AND PAINS. I KEPT THINKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. THEN I DECIDED TO CHECK PAST PERFORMANCE AND FOUND THAT THESE VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE A GOOD RECORD. WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS CRAPPY CAR.

MY 2013 10 SERIES SCION FRS HAS STARTED KNOCKING AT 81,*** MILES. THERE ARE KNOWN MANUFACTURING MECHANICAL DEFECTS THAT ATTRIBUTE TO THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND HAVE BEEN OCCURRING IN A PATTERN AMONGST US FRS,86, AND BRZ. I WAS DENIED MY CLAIM DUE TO "OIL AND COOLANT LEVEL BEING LOW" BUT I KNOW [XXX] WELL THAT I TOOK CARE OF THAT CAR AS IF IT WAS MY CHILD. TOYOTA AND SUBARU NEEDS TO FIX THEIR ISSUES AND COVER OUR WARRANTIES WHICH THEY CHOOSE TO DENY TO GET OUT OF WORK. TOYOTA AND SUBARU WILL LOSE BUSINESS IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED. TOO MANY OF THESE ACCOUNTS ARE ARISING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

NOW I'M SCREWED BECAUSE I WAS PLANNING ON KEEPING MY CAR FOREVER AND IT A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIX BY TH MANUFACTURE! I NEVER WAS NOTIFIED AND NEVER REVIVED ANY LETTERS. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY SENT TO ORIGINAL OWNER! NOW I NEED THIS FIXED OR I NEED MY FULL REFUND IF THE CAR CAN'T BE FIXED WITHOUT ANY CHARGE!

I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT MY CAR HAS AN ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, AND SINCE I'VE OWN THE CAR I'VE BEEN BUYING 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL A WEEK! TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER RECENTLY AND FOUND OUT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY OR FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED . NOW I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT MY FACTORY WARRANT EXPIRATION DATE ! I WAS NEVER INFORMED AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. I'M A FIRST TIME CAR BUYER AND I'M PLANING ON KEEPING MY CAR TO AS LONG AS I POSSIBLY CAN! NOW I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM! I NEED THIS TAKEN CARE OF , OR I WILL SEEK LEGAL MATTER AGAINS YOU!

MY 2007 TC HAS A VERY LARGE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM TO THE POINT OF BETWEEN OIL CHANGES I AM PUTTING IN ABOUT 1.5 QUARTS TO 2 QUARTS. THE VEHICLE NEVER HAS ANY ONBOARD WARNINGS EITHER I DON'T GET A OIL LIGHT OR LOW OIL LIGHT. IT IS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO CHECK MY OIL DAILY JUST TO MAKE SURE MY ENGINE ISNT GOING TO BLOW AND USUALLY END UP ADDING OIL ONCE TO TWICE A WEEK. I BOUGHT THE CAR WHEN THERE WAS A SERVICE MAINTENANCE ON THE TC FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT HAVING IT AND I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL AFTER IT WAS OVER I FEEL AS SCION OR TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR EVERY SCION.

EVERY TIME THE TIRES NEED TO BE FIX, ONE OR MORE OF THE THE LUG NUTS AND THE STUDS BREAK WHILE TRYING TO TAKE THEM OUT. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, HAVING TO REPLACE 7 LUGS AND STUDS IN ALL 4 TIRES. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH FEWER LUGS THAN THE ONES RECOMMENDED BY NHTSA.
