2008 Scion xB Complaint Log

I am writing to report significant safety concerns regarding my 2008 Scion [include model, e.g., tC or xB]. After purchasing the vehicle, I discovered multiple serious mechanical and structural defects that make the car unsafe to operate on public roads. 1. Suspension/Struts – The struts are severely worn and are causing premature and uneven tire wear. This creates a major risk of tire blowout or loss of control while driving. 2. Motor Mount – The engine mount is missing screws and bolts, which results in excessive engine movement. This could lead to engine damage or failure while in motion. 3. Alignment – The vehicle’s alignment is completely off, causing the car to pull while driving and further worsening tire wear and handling. 4. Brakes and Rotors – The brakes are nearly nonfunctional, and the rotors are warped and damaged, severely reducing stopping power and increasing the risk of a crash. 5. License Plate Mount – The vehicle has no designated place to mount a rear tag/license plate, which makes it illegal to drive and difficult to comply with state requirements. 6. Missing Headlight – One headlight is entirely missing, significantly reducing visibility at night and making the vehicle a danger to myself and others Fuel System – The fuel system is contaminated and requires flushing. This is causing performance issues, engine hesitation, and raises concerns about potential engine damage or stalling. I have been quoted over $2,500 in repairs just to bring the vehicle to a safe operating condition by 4 mechanics I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this matter and determine whether these issues represent a pattern of neglect, safety violations, or improper sales practices, especially if other owners have reported similar problems. Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.

I JUST PURCHASED MY SCION XB IN JANUARY 2019 AND WITHIN THREE WEEKS I HAD THE OIL LIGHT FLASHING SO I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AT MIDTOWN TOYOTA IN CHICAGO. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS I NOTICED THAT MY OIL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AGAIN SO I CHECKED MOTOR OIL AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY OIL. I CALLED MIDTOWN TOYOTA WHERE I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND ASKED HIM IF MY VEHICLE HAD A RECALL AS FAR AS THE OIL PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING? HE SAID YES THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED IN JANUARY 2018. NOW I'VE HAD THE CAR. NOW I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS WHICH I'M FINANCING AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET FOR THIS CAR TO GET THAT RECALL FIXED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT'S FAIR FOR ANY DEALER I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT'S FAIR FOR ANY DEALERSHIP TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT HAS RECALLS AND THAT HAVE NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE PREVIOUS OWNERS IN THE PAST. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT TOYOTA CAN DO FOR ME TO GET THIS RE-CAR FIXED FREE OF CHARGE AS I AM DONE NEW OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE?

ON 1/11/19 I TOOK MY 2008 SCION XB TO TOYOTA ONE OF OAKLAND FOR 150,000 MILE SERVICE (MY MILEAGE WAS 104,809 AT THE TIME.) AT THE APPOINTMENT, I EXPLAINED I NOTICED MY CAR USING MORE OIL THAN USUAL. I HAD THE 100,000 MILE SERVICE COMPLETED ON 8/10/18 AND NOTICED I HAD TO ADD ADDITIONAL OIL TO THE ENGINE SINCE THEN, APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 QUARTS. THE WEEKEND OF 11/11/18, I NOTICED THE OIL WAS LOW WHEN I CHECKED THE LEVEL, BUT THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON TO NOTIFY ME. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA HAD AN EXCESSIVE OIL EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED LAST YEAR AND ASKED ME IF I WAS NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA. I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES BY MAIL AND EVEN A PHONE CALL REGARDING THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL AND THE TRD BRAKE KIT RECALL BUT NEVER ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL ISSUE UNTIL TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN. THE TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED I CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MAYBE THEY WOULD OFFER SOME CONSIDERATION SINCE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH TWO REPRESENTATIVES, BOTH VERY NICE BUT WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE EXCESSIVE OIL EXTENDED WARRANTY, SINCE I HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW AND THE WARRANTY WAS OVER. I REVIEWED THE TOYOTA WEBSITE AT HTTPS://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM AND FOUND A LETTER THAT HAD ALLEGEDLY BEEN SENT OUT TO ALL OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS LETTER. I ALSO FOUND THE TOYOTA EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DATING BACK TO 2011 AND THEY HAD ISSUED A TSB WHICH AGAIN I NEVER HEARD ABOUT UNTIL NOW. I HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN TAKING MY SCION TO TOYOTA FOR REGULAR SERVICES AND NEVER WAS IT REPORTED TO ME. HAD I KNOWN EXCESSIVE OIL WAS AN ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALERTED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE OIL LEVEL IN MY CAR. SINCE THE OIL LIGHT NEVER WENT OFF, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG MY CAR HAS BEEN NEEDING MORE OIL.

MY SCION XB 2008 MODEL WAS RECALLED A COUPLE YEARS AGO FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. AND I WENT TWICE FOR SERVICE AT THE TOYOTA OF NAPERVILLE, I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES TRAVELED, SO THAT THEY COULD RECALL THE CAR THAT OBVIOUSLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH CONSUMING OIL. THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO APPEASE DUE TO THE DISTANCE OF MY WORK FROM MY HOME. I HAVE TO TRAVEL 30 MILES A DAY. I HAVE BEEN REJECTED DUE TO THAT, BECAUSE I WAS OVER ABOUT 11-13 MILES EACH TIME. IN CONSEQUENCE OF THOSE EVENTS, I PUT OIL IN THE CAR EVERY WEEK SO THAT I COULD KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING. DESPITE MY EFFORTS, THE ENGINE SEIZED RIGHT AFTER I PAID OFF THE CAR. I FEEL LIKE I WAS SWINDLED BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE LEAST THEY CAN DO IS REPLACE MY ENGINE. I NEED A CAR TO MAKE IT TO WORK TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY OF 5 AND THE WAY TOYOTA HAS TREATED MY ISSUE HAS BEEN UNSATISFACTORY AT BEST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT MY CAR HAS AN ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, AND SINCE I'VE OWN THE CAR I'VE BEEN BUYING 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL A WEEK! TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER RECENTLY AND FOUND OUT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY OR FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED . NOW I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT MY FACTORY WARRANT EXPIRATION DATE ! I WAS NEVER INFORMED AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. I'M A FIRST TIME CAR BUYER AND I'M PLANING ON KEEPING MY CAR TO AS LONG AS I POSSIBLY CAN! NOW I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM! I NEED THIS TAKEN CARE OF , OR I WILL SEEK LEGAL MATTER AGAINS YOU!

TAKATA RECALL.

OIL CONSUMPTION, I WENT TO FEWER AND APPARENTLY MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, WHICH I WAS NEVER INFORMED OR NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE! NOW I'M SCREWED BECAUSE I WAS PLANNING ON KEEPING MY CAR FOREVER AND IT A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIX BY TH MANUFACTURE! I NEVER WAS NOTIFIED AND NEVER REVIVED ANY LETTERS. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY SENT TO ORIGINAL OWNER! NOW I NEED THIS FIXED OR I NEED MY FULL REFUND IF THE CAR CAN'T BE FIXED WITHOUT ANY CHARGE!

I TURNED ON MY CAR AND WAS SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL ICON LIT UP. THE STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PARK THE CAR ON THE STREET. I'M UNABLE TO USE THE CAR FOR ANYTHING ELSE AS I CAN BARELY STEER AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2017 AT 7:40AM, I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF SOUTH BOUND ON ALABAMA STREET IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. THIS STREET IS A TWO-LANE STREET ON EACH SIDE. I WAS AWARE THAT I WAS ABIDING BY THE SPEED LIMIT, GOING AROUND 25-30 MILES, BECAUSE I HAD JUST LEFT A STOPPED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS HEADING INTO SCHOOL ZONE THAT HAD A FLASHING WARNING LIGHT. ANOTHER DRIVER, DRIVING SOUTH BOUND ON A CROSS STREET OF LIVE OAK STREET, RAN THE STOP SIGN AT HIGH SPEED AND CRASHED INTO ME ON THE DRIVERS' SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAD SEEN THE CAR COMING AND TRIED TO SWERVE AWAY TO THE RIGHT TO NOT HIT HER BUT SHE WAS GOING SO FAST I COULD NOT AVOID HER. THE OTHER DRIVER ADMITTED IT WAS HER FAULT BOTH TO MYSELF, THE POLICE OFFICER WHO ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND IN THE ACCIDENT REPORT. THE OTHER DRIVERS INSURANCE HAS CLAIMED FULL LIABILITY TO THE ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR, THE 2008 SCION XB, DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE DOCUMENTATION, IT WAS A DIRECT HIT TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND WAS EXTENSIVE. THE DAMAGE WAS SO EXTENSIVE I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR AND HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE. IF I HAD NOT BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERALLY INJURED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY I DID HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR AN EXAMINATION BUT WAS CLEARED THAT I HAD NOT SUFFERED ANY MAJOR TRAUMA TO THE HEAD OR NECK.

THE ECU WENT BAD , WHEN I WENT OVER THE HIGH WAY ALL LIGHTS COME UP AND THE POWER STEERING STOP WORKING AND THE BRAKES LIGHT WENT UP AND THE

POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND THE LIGHT IS ON ON THE DASHBOARD WITH THE BREAK LIGHT TOO. CAR WAS OK AND THEN START TO DRIVE IT ON HIGHWAY AND ALL AT A SUDDEN THE STEERING LIGHT WENT UP AND HE BRAKE LIGHT TOO AND IT SHUTED OFF THE POWER STEERING

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE HOOD UNLATCHED AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD. I COULDN'T SEE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT FLEW OFF AND OVER THE CAR ONTO THE HIGHWAY BEHIND ME

USING EXCESSIVE OIL. I EVEN USE THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED WEIGHT WITH FULL SYNTH. USES ~2 1/2 QUARTS PER 3000 MILES. NO SMOKE. NO VISIBLE LEAK.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, BLOWS SMOKE OUT OF EXHAUST PIPE, AND HAS VERY LOUD ENGINE NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR IS GOING TO BLOW. CANT USE THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL.

I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. AND I GOT ANOTHER LETTER TODAY. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES FOR NO REASON.

THE RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE MAY 2016, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY AIR BAG REPLACED OVER A YEAR LATER. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS DONE?

WE ARE VICTIMS OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE TOYOTA WAS HAVING WITH CERTAIN MODELS. WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP COMPLAINING ABOUT LOW OIL AFTER WE HAD TO PUT OIL IN THE CAR AFTER WE HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE. WE THEN FIGURED OUT THIS ISSUE HAD BEEN OUTSTANDING FOR YEARS BUT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE ISSUE. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY EXPLAIN THE WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST MONTH AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP US OUT AT ALL. HOW COULD THEY ABANDON A CUSTOMER WHEN A KNOWN ISSUE HAS OCCURRED. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT SEVERAL CARS HAD COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS COMMON. HOW COULD TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH A FAULTY PRODUCT AND NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THEY HAVE LOST MY SUPPORT SINCE THEY WILL NOT SUPPORT ME. WE NOW HAVE A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE COST OF REPAIRS. THIS FINANCIALLY SETS US BACK AND WILL NOW PUT MY FAMILY INTO A FINANCIAL BIND SINCE WE ARE FORCED INTO LOOKING FOR ANOTHER RELIABLE CAR TO COMMUTE TO WORK IN. THANKS FOR NOTHING TOYOTA.
