SCION Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE TRIED TO GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED AT THE DEALER AND THEY WON'T SCHEDULE A TIME TO GET IT REPAIRED, THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG AFTER MULTIPLE REQUESTS. I'M PERSONALLY WORRIED BECAUSE MY CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD AND I LIVE IN DALLAS TX., WE HAVE EXTREMELY HOT SUMMERS HERE. THE INFLATORS DEGRADE OVER TIME IN HOT CLIMATES.

THE DEALER THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR ONLY DOES RECALL WORK DURING THE WEEK I UNFORTUNATELY WORK MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS. WHICH I CAN NOT TAKE TIME OFF FOR AS THEY SAY IT MIGHT TAKE ALL DAY AND I DEPEND ON MY CAR FOR BUSINESS I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER AT AUTONATION TOYOTA IN FORT MYERS FLORIDA BUT WAS TOLD THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AS THERE ARE 2 SAFETY RECALLS ONE INVOLVING MY SEATS AND THE OTHER INVOLVING A WINDOW SWITCH THAT COULD CATCH FIRE. I ORIGINALLY TRIED IN NOVEMBER TO SCHEDULE THIS BUT TO NO AVAIL. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE DATED IN MAY ADVISING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE. IT WAS RECOMMEND THAT WE DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT IS NOW ALMOST 7 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATED TURN AROUND TIME FOR REPAIRS. I THINK THAT THIS TIME FRAME FOR REPAIR IS UNREASONABLE AS WE ARE ADVISED NOT TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. QUALIFIED FOR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. OIL CONSUMPTION TEST CONDUCTED THROUGH DEALERSHIPS IS RIGGED. I HAVE CHARGED THE OIL USAGE IN MY CAR FOR OVER 24 MONTHS AND IT BURNS THROUGH IN EXCESS OF A QUART EVERY 800 - 900 MILES.
