SCION Complaints

TAKATA RECALL WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016 ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON OUR 2008 SCION XB. WE HAVE PUT INPUT THE VIN NUMBER AND THERE STILL ISN'T AN UPDATE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE AIRBAG IS SAFE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE TO ADD TWO QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN EVERY OIL CHANGE AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL A QUART LOW WHEN IT'S CHANGED. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA TO HAVE VEHICLE TESTED FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TEST RESULTS SHOW IT USES .6 QUARTS IN 1000 MILES, TOYOTA SAYS THAT'S NORMAL.

TAKATA RECALL JUST WONDERING HOW LONG TOYOTA PLANS TO DRAG THIS OUT? NO ONE MAY SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR 6 MONTHS AND ALL TOYOTA SAYS IS PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE.

OUR 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE MORNING OF THE ACCIDENT. SHE WAS EXITING A SHOPPING CENTER COMPLEX AND ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION PEDAL WAS SLIGHTLY PRESSED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND ACTED AS THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED IN PLACE OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD OUT OF CONTROL AND WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE SPUN AROUND HEADED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION STRIKING A TREE HEAD ON WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE ACCELERATION SYSTEM WHICH HAS BEEN DENIED BY TOYOTA. THERE ARE NO FLOOR MATS IN THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT HER INTENDING TO.

ENGINE LOCKED UP AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE AT ALL, WHICH SEEMS TO BE DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT CAUSING NO EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND BARELY MADE IT THE SHOULDER WHEN THE CAR SEIZED UP AND DIED. NO LOW OIL LIGHT EVER CAME ON. IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC, THE CAR COULD SHUT OFF IN AN ACTIVE DRIVING LANE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL... AS I WAS DRIVING SPEED LIMIT (60-65MPH) ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 11:30PM (10/21/16), DRIVING ON THE 2ND LANE. THERE WAS SOME DEBRIS ON THE ROAD AS I HIT A POT HOLE MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE POPS. I INSTANTLY LOSE CONTROL AS I SEE THE SEMI-TRUCK IN THE 3RD LANE (TRUCK LANE). I TRIED TO AVOID THE TRUCK BUT THE CAR TOOK ME INTO THAT DIRECTION. AS MY CAR SLIGHTLY WENT UNDER THE TRUCK, THE TRUCKS REAR PASSENGER TIRES RAM OVER THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE HOOD AND MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. AS I WAS UNDER THE TRUCK I SOMEHOW GET OUT OF IT AND SPIN OUT UNTIL THE CAR IS COMPLETE STOPPED. WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, I AM FACING TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS MY DIRECTION. SINCE THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY IT WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION. SAFETY IS EVERYBODY CONCERNS AND AT THE TIME MY LIFE COULD'VE BEEN AT RISK. NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED IN THIS ACCIDENT BUT ME AND THE SEMI-TRUCK, BUT THE SEMI-TRUCK NEVER STOPPED AT THE SCENE. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BACK IN JUNE 9, 2016 AND TO DATE HAVE HAD NO FURTHER UPDATES OR INFORMATION THAT THIS WILL BE FIXED. THE ONLY THING INDICATED WAS DO NOT HAVE A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS ALMOST NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE AS I HAVE TO TAKE MY MOTHER TO PLACES AS WELL AS OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WANT THIS POTENTIAL DEATH HAZARD REPAIRED.
