A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

This complaint is concerning Bridgestone All Season Tire (BL 205/55R 16). I was driving on the road and all of a sudden the steering wheel was moving back and forth and the right front tire was bouncing uncontrollably while was while driving. My car was pulling to the right as I drove, creating a dangerously unstable driving condition, This issue posed a significant risk not only to my safety but also to others on the road, as the inability to control the vehicle could result in an accident. I pulled over, and saw that the tire was not flat. I was two blocks from the sister store in Halladale. I asked for the manager to look at my wheel as it is under warranty. The manager said it was a bubble in the tread of the tire. I asked the manager since this is a manufacturer defect, can I get tire replaced at no charge. He said he would replace it not for free, but he would prorate the tire. He gave me the estimate and I informed him that since I bought the extended warranty, mounting and balancing was supposed to be free of charge. He says he can't honor the warranty. He not only charged me for the mounting and balancing, but charged me for another warranty! (that they won't honor) The warranty was good for 40,000 miles and this tire only had 16,000 so I felt I was treated unfairly, I called Firestone customer complaint line several times and they said the district manager would call me to rectify my issues, but no one ever called me back. I went to another tire shop to purchase another tire. I took pictures of the bubble on the tire.
My Scion XB has a set of dealer installed TRD springs front and rear. The springs in the rear have rusted to the point where I question their resistance to breaking and thus the safety of the car when turning a corner. The springs came from the factory with a coating that has quickly worn off an exposed the bare, untreated metal to excessive rust and corrosion. If one of these springs breaks while driving, then the car could be difficult to control and result in a wreck.
The contact owns a 2010 Scion XB. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idling, the vehicle would shake and vibrate abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the motor mounts were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, while driving approximately 25 mph, the front passenger’s side axle failed causing the front passenger’s side of the vehicle to lower. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 225,000.

I CALLED TODAY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ANNOUNCED DATE FOR REPAIR AS OF YET. THIS IS BEYOND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIRS AND WANT A SOLUTION ASAP AS I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND TRANSPORT PASSENGERS.
"TAKATA RECALL" IN JUNE 2016 WE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR THAT IS PRODUCED BY TAKATA. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED, AND WE CONTINUE TO WAIT 4 MONTHS LATER FOR PARTS THAT ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT NEEDS TO BE USED ON A DAILY BASIS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. TOYOTA TELLING US "WE ARE WAITING FOR THE PARTS" AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA MAIL WHEN THEY DO, TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIME FRAME.
"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL WHICH STATES THE PROPELLANT IN THESE FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. IF AIRBAGS DO DEPLOY IT CAN RESULT IN INJURY OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS OR DEATH. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, UNTIL AIRBAGS ARE REPLACED. WE LIVE IN CATHEDRAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, WE HAVE HIGH HEAT WITH SEVERE SUMMER TEMPS, HUMIDITY, AND FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURES. WE ARE A FAMILY OF FOUR AND OFTEN HAVE A FIFTH PASSENGER. I CALLED TOYOTA OF THE DESERT IN CATHEDRAL CITY AND SPOKE WITH JANIE. JANIE STATED THE AIRBAG PARTS WERE NOT IN AND DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE IN. SHE INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL BACK IN TWO WEEKS. I ASKED IF A RENTAL VEHICLE WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE MEAN TIME, SHE STATED TOYOTA DOES NOT COVER A RENTAL, ALL CUSTOMERS HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA OF THE DESERT HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM IN A REASONABLE TIME, AND HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE ITS CUSTOMERS WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE DUE TO THE DELAY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA SCION XB. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR.

AFTER TRYING TO CONTACT SCION UNSUCCESFULLY, CALLED GOSCH SCION IN HEMET, CALIFORNIA WHO CONFIRMED THE INFLATOR WAS INDEED DEADLY. I ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND REPLY WAS "THAT'S UP TO YOU". AFTER A FEW MORE WORDS WERE EXCHANGED TO THE EFFECT THIS $25,000 CAR WAS A POS, THE GOSCH REPLIED I WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY IF IT WAS MINE. SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO FIX AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED. BOTTOM LINE. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT IS A DEATHTRAP AND AM UPSET NOBODY IN AUTHORITY PREVENTED SUCH A WORLDWIDE DEBACLE FROM TAKING PLACE UNTIL SEVERAL INNOCENTS DIED . MY CAR IS NOW BEING GARAGED INDEFINITELY.
