SCION Complaints

ENGINE STARTED TO ROD KNOCK WHEN SERVICE TO THIS CAR IS ALWAYS ON TIME. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THEIR IS A TON OF OTHER OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH VERY LOW MILES IN THERE CARS.

TAKATA RECALL ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2017 AT 7:40AM, I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF SOUTH BOUND ON ALABAMA STREET IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. THIS STREET IS A TWO-LANE STREET ON EACH SIDE. I WAS AWARE THAT I WAS ABIDING BY THE SPEED LIMIT, GOING AROUND 25-30 MILES, BECAUSE I HAD JUST LEFT A STOPPED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS HEADING INTO SCHOOL ZONE THAT HAD A FLASHING WARNING LIGHT. ANOTHER DRIVER, DRIVING SOUTH BOUND ON A CROSS STREET OF LIVE OAK STREET, RAN THE STOP SIGN AT HIGH SPEED AND CRASHED INTO ME ON THE DRIVERS' SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAD SEEN THE CAR COMING AND TRIED TO SWERVE AWAY TO THE RIGHT TO NOT HIT HER BUT SHE WAS GOING SO FAST I COULD NOT AVOID HER. THE OTHER DRIVER ADMITTED IT WAS HER FAULT BOTH TO MYSELF, THE POLICE OFFICER WHO ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND IN THE ACCIDENT REPORT. THE OTHER DRIVERS INSURANCE HAS CLAIMED FULL LIABILITY TO THE ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR, THE 2008 SCION XB, DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE DOCUMENTATION, IT WAS A DIRECT HIT TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND WAS EXTENSIVE. THE DAMAGE WAS SO EXTENSIVE I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR AND HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE. IF I HAD NOT BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERALLY INJURED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY I DID HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR AN EXAMINATION BUT WAS CLEARED THAT I HAD NOT SUFFERED ANY MAJOR TRAUMA TO THE HEAD OR NECK.

THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT AT THE DEALER'S FOR OVER A MONTH AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
