TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS NO PART AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR. I REQUESTED A LOANER CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO WOULD TAKE MY 2009 SCION AND PARK IT IN AN "UNGUARDED UNFENCED LOT" WITH NO PROTECTION FROM THE EXTREME FL HEAT AND WEATHER. IN ADDITION, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT START OR SERVICE THE MOTOR FOR APPROX. 6 MONTHS (WHEN THE PART "MIGHT" BE AVAILABLE). IF THE MOTOR/CAR IS DAMAGED, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FIX IT. IF THE CAR IS STOLEN, THEY ARE ALSO NOT LIABLE! THESE ARE UNACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS. TOYOTA IS NOT AUTHENTICALLY OFFERING A SOLUTION TO THIS LIFE THREATENING RECALL. FIRST, THERE IS NO PART AVAILABLE TO FIX IT! THEN, TOYOTA KNOWS THAT THE CONSUMER WILL NOT TAKE A LOANER UNDER THE CONDITIONS THAT THEIR PERSONAL VEHICLE WILL BE KEPT UNDER. IT'S A SCAM! WE THE CONSUMER ARE FORCED TO DRIVE CARS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT KILLED SEVERAL PEOPLE BY METAL PROJECTILES SLICING THROATS AND CAUSING HEAD AND BRAIN INJURIES! WHY IS TOYOTA GETTING AWAY WITH THIS?

TAKATA RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NO 16V-340 I RECEIVED THIS SUBJECT RECALL 07/23/2016 ADVISING ME NOT TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH ANY OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AS IT COULD CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY. I HAVE CALLED THE SPARKS TOYOTA , THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE DEALER STATED TOYATO WILL NOT PERMIT THEM TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I AM 83 YEARS OLD AND HAVE DRIVEN VEHICLES WITHOUT SEAT BELTS SINCE 1948 TO 1962. I DROVE VEHCILES WITH ONLY SEAT BELT PROTECTION UNTIL THE LATE 1980S. I PERFER TO DRIVE MY SCION WITH ONLY SEALBELT PROTECTION FOR THE PASSENGER THEN TO HAVE THE OCCUPANT KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURYED VIA A EXPLODING AIRBAG. I PAID GOOD MONEY TO BUY A SAFE VEHICLE FROM SPARKS AND TOYATO AND I EXPECT THEM TO FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS TO SAVE MY OCCUPTANTS LIFE WHICH IS ME AS I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE SIT IN THE DEATH SEAT WITH A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. YOU AND TOYOTA ARE GUESSING WHEN THE AIRBAG DEGRADES IN MY SCION BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FACTS TO MAKE THAT ESTIMATE WHEN MY AIR BAG MAY EXPLODE. MY SCION IS BLACK AND I LIVE 2 BLOCKS FROM THE OCEAN. INSIDE THE VEHICLE THE TEMPERATURE IS EXCESS 180 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER. THERE IS SO MUCH MOISTURE IN THE AIR THAT METAL PAINT CANS OR OTHER METALS IN THE GARAGE RUST DUE TO THE SALT MOIST AIR. SO NHTSA NOR TAKATA HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIR BAG IN MY VEHICLE IS SAFE OR NOT WHILE OPERATING IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO!!!!! YOU SHOULD DIRECT TOYOTA TO DISCONNECT MY AIR BAG AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTILL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL. JUST RECEIVED NOTICE OF TAKATA RECALL, AND ACCORDING TO SCION WEBPAGE, NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. PERSON I SPOKE TO AT SCION SAID REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE JUST NOW BEING MANUFACTURED, AND NO KNOWN DATE IS AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME RIDERS IN THE CAR ARE IN DANGER.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE RECEIVED OUR RECALL WARNING ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE SOLUTION FOR NOW IS NOT TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER (1609063378). WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NOT CURRENT SOLUTION AND THERE IS NOT ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THE PART(S) WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS ONE OF OUR MAIN MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND DRIVING AROUND LIKE CHAUFFEUR AND PASSENGER IS GETTING VERY TEDIOUS. WE RECENTLY HAD DEATH OF OUR FAMILY AND HAD TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN IN OUR DODGE TRUCK. ONLY TO FIND OUT UPON RETURNING HOME, THE DODGE TRUCK HAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, TOO. NOW, BOTH VEHICLES ARE WAITING FOR PARTS. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE SCION DEALERSHIP, WE WERE TOLD THAT UPON EMERGENCIES, WE COULD POSSIBLY GET A LOANER FOR TRAVEL, WHICH IS VERY INCONVENIENT . WE WANT SOME ANSWERS, THAT IS, WHEN WILL A SOLUTION BE FOUND AND HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE PARTS TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE BOTH ARE SENIOR CITIZENS, HAVE OUR MEDICAL ISSUES AND WE DO NOT NEED THE STRESS OF THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA INFLATORS: ON JUNE 9TH, 2016 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA GIVING NOTICE OF THE AIR BAG RECALL. IT HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE "RECOMMENDING THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". AFTER A APPROXIMATELY THREE OF MONTHS I BEGAN CALLING THE DEALER SHIP EVERY MONTH OR SO CHECKING ON THE RECALL. THEY JUST KEEP SAYING THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON A FIX AND I AM SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER WHEN THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER ALSO RECEIVING ABOUT THE SAME INFO. IN MY OPINION THIS HAS GONE ON WAY TOO LONG AND TOYOTA SHOULD BE REIMBURSING THEIR COSTUMERS FOR THEIR INCONVENIENCE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO FULLY UTILIZE THEIR VEHICLES DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. *TR

TAKE RECALL I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL OF 2016 AND WAS NOT NOTIFIED AT ALL ABOUT THIS RECALL. NO ONE TOLD ME THAT MY AIRBAGS COULD HARM ME OR EVEN KILL ME. I'M VERY UPSET WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE WORKED WITH.

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.

TAKATA RECALL -- RECALLED IN 5/2016, BUT NO DEALERSHIP HAS THE PARTS/ABILITY TO FIX MY POTENTIALLY DEADLY AIRBAGS YET? IS THAT LEGAL??

MARCH 15 MY SCION XB SPONTANEOUSLY ERUPTED IN FLAMES, WE ON OUR WAY HOME AT THE INTERSECTION OF UNION TPKE AND PARSONS BLVD IN QUEENS NY, WE WERE STOPPED FOR CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EMIT SMOKE, WE PULLED INTO A KFC/PIZZA HUT PARKING LOT, , WITHIN MINUTES FLAMES WERE COMING OUT FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, ONE OF THE FIRE FIGHTERS THOUGHT IT WAS ELECTRICAL

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (INTERIM NOTICE) OVER A YEAR AGO. CONTACTED TOYOTA 3/16, AND AGAIN 8/17 AND WAS TOLD "PARTS NOT AVAILABLE" FOR REPAIR. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR TOYOTA TO CORRECT A DANGEROUS RECALL?

THE SCION XB 2009 WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT SPEED LIMIT, 10 MILES AFTER THE "NEEDS MAINTENANCE" OIL LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER 15 MINUTES, THE CAR MADE A LOUD BANG NOISE WHICH WE THINK CAME FROM THE ENGINE.AFTER THE BANG, CAR PULLED OVER. ANOTHER CAR PULLED OVER TOO, SINCE A PIECE OF FLAMING DEBRIS FROM MY CAR CAME OUT FROM UNDERNEATH AND BROKE THAT CAR'S WINDSHIELD. THAT DRIVER INDICATED THAT MY SCION WAS ON FIRE AND TO GET OUT OF THE CAR! ~5 SECONDS LATER THE FIRST OF MANY EXPLOSIONS HAPPENED. THE CAR QUICKLY, WITHIN ONE MINUTE, BECAME COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED THE CAR WAS "FULLY ENGAGED" (100% BURNING). IT IS A TOTAL LOSS.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I JUST TOOK MY SCION IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TWO RECALLS. THEY FIXED THE ONE RECALL FOR THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH, WHICH WAS GREAT. HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY FUTURE DATE THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THEIR REMARK WAS THAT IT WAS ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE, NOT TO WORRY, DRIVER IS OK. ALSO IN THE RECALL LETTERS I RECEIVED, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I "NOT HAVE SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT". THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DO HAVE PASSENGERS, AND SOME OF THE TIME THE PASSENGER IS ME. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY. I TRAVEL TO TEXAS, ALSO HIGHER TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY. MY CAR IS NOW 8 YEARS OLD SO IT IS GETTING UP IN THE DANGER ZONE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL LETTER. WHY IS TOYOTA NOT BEING MADE TO REPLACE THE VEHICLES IF THEY CAN NOT REPAIR THEM. THIS IS WORSE THAN THE LEMON LAW WHERE DEALERS ARE MADE TO REPLACE A VEHICLE IF IT IS DEEMED "A LEMON".

MY VEHICLE CONSUME MORE THAN 2 QUARTS OF OIL PER OIL CHANGE THAT MEANS MY CAR TAKES AN EXTRA 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 3000 MILES MY ENGINE LITERALLY BURNS THE OIL THERE IS NO LEAK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA SCION XB. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE. FLAMES WERE PRESENT UNDER THE HOOD AND THE SUBFRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THE FLAMES EVENTUALLY SELF EXTINGUISHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE MOTOR FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 11/23/15*LJ NO VIN NUMBER, UPDATED 4/13/18*JB CONSUMER STATED ENGINE FAILURE-FIRE UNDER HOOD NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE NO INJURIES. GETTING A BIG RUN AROUND FROM TOYOTA FOR RECALL PART DAMAGE, TOYOTA WON'T RESUME RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH ON RECALL LIST. UPDATED 10/11/18*JB

DESCRIPTION THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICANT GREASE AND UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE SWITCH MAY DEVELOP A SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN CAUSE THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY TO OVERHEAT AND MELT. A MELTING SWITCH CAN PRODUCE SMOKE AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE. REMEDY TOYOTA SENT OUT A NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 BUT STILL DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE.

CAR USING ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1100 MILES TOOK TO TOYOTA TWICE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, GETTING COMPLETE RUN AROUND. THEY PROBABLY DONT WANT TO REPLACE ENGINE PARTS AS DESCRIBED IN SCION FORUM. PEOPLE ARE BLOWING ENGINES BECAUSE TOYOTA WON'T RECALL, ONLY CAMPAIGN NOTICE SENT OUT MID YEAR AROUND MAY 2015. SPOKE WITH TOYOTA TORRANCE CALIFORNIA NO SATISFACTION, EMAILED JAMES LENTZ, PRESIDENT CEO TOYOTA USA, SENT CERTIFIED LETTER TODAY 10/26 TO JIM LENTZ TOYOTA.

2009 SCION XB. ALMOST EMPTY BY THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. IT TOOK A WHILE TO REALIZE AFTER YEARS OF OIL CHANGES THAT BY THE TIME IT WAS TIME FOR THE NEXT OIL CHANGE, THE ENGINE WAS ALMOST WITHOUT OIL. THIS WENT ON FOR YEARS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM A TEST. THE DEALER PERFORMED A TEST AND STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE TO USE 1 QT PER THOUSAND MILES. I THEN ASKED HIM HOW MANY QUARTS DOES THE CAR HAVE. HE ANSWERED ABOUT 5. IF THE OIL CHANGES ARE EVERY 5K MILES THEN THE ENGINE HAS NO OIL BY THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. HE STATED THAT WAS TOYOTAS RULE. I TOOK THE CAR A SECOND TIME AND THEY STATED KNOW I HAVE A LEAK THAT WASN'T THERE DURING THE FIRST TEST. I BELIEVE THE LEAK WAS CAUSED BY THE ENGINE RUNNING ON SO LITTLE OIL.

HEAR A HUMMING COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AT 40 TO 60 MPH , ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE A MUFFLER GETTING LOUDER REAR WHEEL BEARING BAD , REPLACING AT $210.00 FOR WHEEL BEARING .

HAD SOMEONE PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I WAS TRAVELING. UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME EVEN AFTER LOCKING UP THE BRAKES. WAS DOING APPRX. 42 MPH HITTING THE TRUCK, IMPACT WITH BOTH VEHICLES TRAVELING APPRX 25 YARDS INTO THE DITCH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS. LUCKILY MY SEAT BELT DID THE JOB TO PROTECT ME. WAS ESCORTED BY AMBULANCE TO LOCAL HOSPITAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SCION XB. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED OIL PREMATURELY; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE WARRANTY REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS PLACED ON A WAITING LIST FOR OVER ONE YEAR. THE CONTACT ADDED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE....UPDATED 10/11/16 *BF *CN

HEADING IN TO WORK, HEAR KNOCKING. PULL OVER, NO WARNING LIGHTS. CHECK OIL, IT'S LOW. HAS NEVER BEEN LOW, NOR LEAKED ANY, AND IT IS A ONE-OWNER CAR. PUT A QUART IN, KEEP HEADING TO WORK, STILL, NO WARNING LIGHTS. FRONT OF LONG BLOCK EXPLODED FORWARD TOWARD THE RADIATOR. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE EXPLOSION WAS UNTIL WE HOOKED UP TO THE WRECKER. ALUMINUM PARTS AND A PISTON LAYING UNDER THE ENGINE. MOTOR WAS OUT OF OIL. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, IT WENT STRAIGHT TO HOT, AND BLEW. MY HONDA WOULDN'T LET YOU TURN IT ON IF IT WAS LOW ON OIL OR ANTIFREEZE. I LIKED THAT. THIS PROBLEM HURTS. *TR

TRAVELING NORTH ON I-75 IN INDEPENDENCE TWP, MI SOUTH OF ORTONVILLE RD AT 10:55AM IN A SNOW STORM, DRIVER USED THE PASSING LANE TO OVERTAKE A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE IN THE CENTER LANE. ACCELERATING TO 70MPH, DRIVER BEGAN TO MERGE BACK INTO CENTER LANE BUT ENCOUNTERED A HEAVY BUILDUP OF SLUSH BETWEEN LANES AND BEGAN TO LOOSE TRACTION. VEHICLE STARTED TO VEER TO THE RIGHT. DRIVER REMOVED FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND TURNED WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT TO CORRECT THE SKID BUT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY ENTERED INTO A RAPID 360 DEGREE SPIN TO THE RIGHT. NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS STRUCK. DRIVER RECOVERED FROM THE SPIN MOMENTARILY AND CAR WAS FACING NORTHBOUND BETWEEN THE CENTER AND RIGHT LANES BUT STILL VEERING TO THE RIGHT. THE FRONT WHEELS CONTACTED DRY PAVEMENT WHILE THE REAR WHEELS WERE ON WET PAVEMENT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A SHARP RIGHT TURN HEAD ON INTO THE GUARD RAIL AT 60 MPH. THE GUARD RAIL GAVE WAY AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE. HOWEVER THE VEHICLE REBOUNDED AND REMAINED IN THE ROAD WAY, SLIDING SIDEWAYS AND EVENTUALLY SPINNING ANOTHER 270 DEGREES AFTER AGAIN STRIKING THE GUARD RAIL. THE INITIAL HIGH SPEED IMPACT WITH GUARD RAIL APPEARS TO HAVE IGNITED THE SODIUM AZIDE AS EVIDENCED BY A GUNPOWDER LIKE ODOR IN THE VEHICLE HOWEVER NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. ADDITIONALLY, THE SEATBELT WHILE PROPERLY FASTENED DID NOT RETRACT AND RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. THE SEATBELT EXTENDED ALL THE WAY OUT AND REMAINED IN THIS POSITION. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO IMPACT THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE GUARDRAIL WAS STRUCK. THIS RESULTED IN INJURY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RIB CAGE, WITH POSSIBLE HAIRLINE FRACTURES TO THE RIBS, TORN MUSCLES, AND BRUISING OF THE LIVER. DRIVER'S HEAD ALSO IMPACTED THE CEILING. UPON SECOND GUARDRAIL IMPACT, DRIVER'S LEFT ARM IMPACTED THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

A REPRESENTATIVE FROM TOYOTA TOLD ME IF I UPGRADE TO A SYNTHETIC BLEND I WOULD NOT NEED A OIL CHANGE UNTIL I PASS THE 5000MI MARK OR AFTER 5 MONTHS. THAT WAS A LIE! THIS PAST YEAR I HAVE TO GET OIL CHANGES EVERYTIME MY CAR HITS AROUND 1200 MILES. THIS STARTING OCCURRING AFTER 105000MI. I WENT IN MANY TIMES TO TRY TO HAVE THIS FIX BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE MY FATHER HAD THE SAME CAR AND IT WOULD HAPPENED TO MY FATHER AS WELL. UPDATE 9/15/15 CW UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

TOO MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION. *TR
