SCION Complaints

THIS CAR IS CONSTANTLY BURNING OIL. MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT NEVER FAILS TO TURN ON SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1000-2000 MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE, AND I HAVE TO REFILL TO STOP THE LIGHT FROM COMING BACK ON.

AIRBAG RECALL NO HELP OR FIX FROM MANUFACTURE ITS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS LETS GET IT TOGETHER TOYOTA

TAKATA AIRBAGS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 6 MOMTHS FOR WORD ON WHEN MY AIRBAGS WILL BE REPAIRED. I HAVE HAD TO MAKE NUMEROUS CROSS STATE TRIPS WITH MY KIDS IN THIS POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP. I CALLED TODAY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ANNOUNCED DATE FOR REPAIR AS OF YET. THIS IS BEYOND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIRS AND WANT A SOLUTION ASAP AS I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND TRANSPORT PASSENGERS.

MY MOTHER IN LAW HIT A TREE GOING 50 MPH HITTING THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HER CAR INTO TREE, AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY SHE SUFFERED MAJOR HEAD TRAUMA THAT LEAD TO HER DEATH. THE IMPACT WAS SO SEVERE HER PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR WAS BENT IN TO DRIVERS SIDE AND SHE SUFFERED BROKEN LIMBS ON RIGHT SIDE OF HER BODY.

TOYOTA ADVISED BASED ON A FREEZE FRAME OF DATA ON THE COMPUTER THEY WERE DENYING MY WARRANTY FOR AN "OVER REV". THE REV THEY ARE CITING IS 7300 RPM AT 35 MPH, WHICH IS UNDER THE FACTORY SET REV LIMITER AND IS ALSO THE CORRECT REV FOR THAT SPEED IN 1ST GEAR ON MY 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. FURTHER MORE I HAVE EVIDENCE BASED ON THEIR FREEZE FRAME DATA THAT THE DATA WAS NOT COLLECTED AT THE TIME OF FAILURE BUT AT ANOTHER POINT DUE TO TEMPERATURES OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE COMPARED TO THE FREEZE FRAME DATA, AS WELL AS THE RUN TIME STATED ON THE FREEZE FRAME COMPARED TO HOW LONG I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR THAT MORNING. TOYOTA HAS TOLD ME 4 TIMES THAT THE DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER HAS BEEN THE LAST ONE TO DENY THE CLAIM AND HAS TOLD ME THAT TO SPEAK TO HIM, I NEED TO TALK TO DEALER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED ME THAT THEY CANNOT GIVE HIS INFORMATION OUT AS HE IS A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE AND NOT A DEALERSHIP ONE. TOYOTA CANNOT PROVE THAT THE INFORMATION USED IS ACTUALLY RELATED TO MY CLAIM AND IS STONE WALLING ANY ATTEMPT OF ME TO REVIEW THIS INFORMATION WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT DENIED THE CLAIM. OUTSIDE OF TOYOTA, THE DEALERSHIP CITED EXHAUST MODIFICATIONS AS A REASON MY WARRANTY WOULD NO LONGER APPLY EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA DID NOT CITE THAT IN THEIR DENIAL, NOR CAN THEY PROVE AN EXHAUST CAUSED INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE. TOYOTA HAS ALSO REFUSED TO SEND ME A WRITTEN OFFICIAL DENIAL LETTER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT AT THE TIME OF FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL: PAX SIDE AIRBAG. NOTIFIED 6 MONTHS AGO. USE CAR INTERMITTENTLY TO TRANSPORT ELDERLY FATHER AND OBESE BROTHER, NEITHER OF WHOM CAN GET INTO THE REAR SEAT AREA. TOYOTA OFFERED A LOANER CAR, BUT WILL NOT GIVE ME A SIMILAR MODEL (THEY WANT TO GIVE ME A TINY COROLLA); AND, WILL REQUIRE ME TO TURN IN MY CAR. IF TURNED IN, I CAN'T GET MY CAR BACK UNTIL REPAIRED, AND, THEY WILL LEAVE IT OUTDOORS, EXPOSED TO HAIL AND SUN (TEXAS). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM BEING DEPRIVED OF THE RIGHT TO USE MY CAR IN THE CUSTOMARY MANNER IN WHICH IT IS USED.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED ON MAY, 23 2016 AND AS OF DECEMBER 10, 2016 NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS FAR BEYOND WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A TIMELY RESOLUTION TO SUCH A SEVERE SAFETY RISK.

TAKATA RECALL ON AIR BAG HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. WHEN NOTICE WAS SENT I HAD TIME TO GET IT IN TO THE SHOP. I CANNOT AFFORD LEAVE TO DO THIS NOW AND I'M UNABLE TO USE MY CAR FOR CARPOOL WHILE I'M WAITING. THIS IS A BIG HARDSHIP.

TAKATA RECALL. IF IT WASN'T FOR AN NBC NEWS REPORT ON THE PROBLEM I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT I WAS AT RISK. THERE HAS BEEN NO NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA/SCION. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHICH WAS LISTED AS A PRIORITY AREA BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.
