SCION Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE 3 COMPANY SCIONS THAT HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR OVER SIX MONTHS. TOYOTA STILL HASN'T CALLED US TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED. WHEN WE CALL, THEY SAY THEIR OUT OF STOCK. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES, AS IT IS EFFECTING OUR COMPANY BUSINESS! THE VIN'S ARE [XXX], [XXX], [XXX]. I JUST RECEIVED 2 MORE SCION RECALLS FOR A TOTAL OF 5 VEHICLE IN OUR FLEET WHERE WE CAN'T TAKE A CLIENT OR PASSENGER OUT. I HAVE 7 MORE SCIONS THAT I'M SURE WILL BE ON THE RECALL LIST, WHICH THEY ARE SLOW TO SEND OUT AND COULD COST LIVES!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I WENT TO TRADE IN MY SCION XB AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. SINCE THE RECALL IS FROM MAY 2016 I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WHEN THIS WILL BE REMEDIED. I AM "STUCK" WITH THE SCION AND CANNOT SELL UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. IS THERE A TIME FRAME FOR THE RESOLUTION? IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR TOYOTA AS THIS IS NOW CAUSING A FINANCIAL STRAIN IN PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE, NOT HAVING THIS THE ABILITY TO TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PURCHASE OF A NEW VEHICLE? ANY INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

MY 2007 SCION TC, IS EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BELIEVED TO BE FROM DEFECTIVE PISTON RINGS DESIGNED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE, AND IS ALREADY AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIX. MY CAR NO LONGER FALLS UNDER THE STANDARD TOYOTA POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (60 MONTHS / 60K MILES). BUT HAS LESS THAN 85,000 MILES ON IT. TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS AFFECTED MULTIPLE MODEL/YEARS OF THEIR CARS WITH THE ENGINE 2AZ-FE.

ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, WILL NOT GO OFF. HAVE TO TAKE IT TO REPAIR SHOP SO IT CAN BE FIXED FOR A TIME. SO IT WILL PASS INSPECTION WITH LIGHT OFF. SOON AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO ON AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY YEARS. CAR WAS IN MOTION, STARTING CAR, DRIVING CAR, FORWARD AND BACKING UP. LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. MECHINIAC CANT FIND WHAT IS WRONG. DRIVING CAR ON STREET OR HIGHWAY, UP HILL OR ON FLAT STREET.

TAKATA RECALL FOR 9 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO SEAT A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR, AND NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE BY EITHER MANUFACTURER OR DEALERSHIP TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.
