2009 Scion xB Complaint Log

I want to report a defect with the hood of this vehicle. I was driving on the interstate and my hood lifted up and became detached from the vehicle, it literally flew off of the car. I didn't see where it went but fortunate neither myself nor other drivers were affected. I managed to pull over you a safety zone and have the vehicle towed. I thought that this was unique to this vehicle, but I saw other reports on this defect.

The contact owns a 2009 Scion XB. The contact stated the hood failed to close after several attempts. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V451000 (Structure) as the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

This vehicle type had a oil consumption recall. My vehicle has never been repaired. The car consumes a lot of oil. I went to my local Toyota dealership to have my car repaired under the recall. They would not honor the repair.. my car is a 2009 Scion xB. The recall goes back to 2016. I bought my car after 2016 with low miles. Don't they have to repair by law ? Can you please help me. I am low income on a disability. I need my car repaired thank you

Brake pedal is to close to gas pedal and almost got rear ended several times by accidentally touching the brake when I accelerate.

I was shocked by electrical component on a rainy day on the driver side the electric component In the door panel were exposed to rain as all buttons to control lock and windows from driver side have sunk down a couple inches. This happened almost right away after I purchased pre-owned from Honda dealership in Corona. I took my Scion to Toyota of Ontario who said faulty electrical components had been replaced prior to my purchase and wasn't covered as a free replacement/repair item. I had to get recalled airbags replaced though and as a courtesy door panel was tightened up no exposed wires but it wasn't replacing melted parts either from direct sun exposure as the windshield is like a magnifying glass, amplifying the heat of the sun exponentially. The "courtesy fix" didn't last even 2months and being on disability and on a fixed income that expense hadn't been on the top of my list. It's more than cosmetic and more than merely a nuisance, I was actually shocked. Not as badly as the time I was shocked by jumper cables when my battery died, which caused me to have a seizure and I am not epileptic. I believe it was not due to defect, but rather my lack of experience. Still the lock and windows are electric and should be available to operate by driver. To unlock the rear door when picking up kids from school, I must turn the ignition off or remove my seatbelt put car in park, engage the E Brake and reach way over and all the way back. It's annoying and what, God forbid I am involved in a terrible accident I cannot unlock car door or escape a flash flood by rolling down my window. These things worry me most. Even more than being electrocuted again the next time it rains.

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.

TAKATA INFLATORS AND WINDOW RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS I HAVE TWO ACTIVE RECALLS ON MY SCION XB, ONE DATING BACK TO 2015, WITH SCION/TOYOTA NOT BEING ABLE TO FIX EITHER RECALL.
