SCION Complaints

3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, CAR BLEW A TIE ROD AND HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED. IT HAD ABOUT 38000 MILES ON IT. ONE MONTH AFTER THAT REPAIR, A PUSH ROD WENT THROUGH A VALVE COVER. BOTH TIMES THE CAR HAD NO OIL, AND NO WARNING TO REPLACE THE OIL. DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO HONOR WARRANTY ON THE SECOND PROBLEM.

WE WERE INFORMED OF THIS RECALL IN AUGUST OF 2016, AND WE WERE ADVISED NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. AS A FAMILY OF FOUR, THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT. IT MEANS WE CAN NEVER HAVE AN EXTRA PASSENGER, AND IT MEANS THAT ONE ADULT IS ALWAYS CRAMMED IN THE BACK SEAT WITH TWO KIDS, EVEN ON LONG CAR TRIPS. WE HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD FROM TOYOTA SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE, AND WE'RE INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED, IRRITATED, AND UNIMPRESSED. BY NOW, TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE 1. KEPT US UPDATED ABOUT FIXES, AND 2. OFFERED US A LOANER VEHICLE, SINCE OUR USE OF OUR CAR IS SO LIMITED BY THE RECALL.
