2010 Scion xB Body & Structure Problems

OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE HAD THE DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, SOME PARTS EVEN MALFUNCTIONING AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED AT TOYOTA SERVICE CENTERS. LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE WHEN LOCKED VIA DOOR SWITCH BUTTON, THROUGH KEYLESS FOB, AND WHEN MANUALLY ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE IT IS JAMMED AND PHYSICALLY HARD TO ENGAGE LOCK. HAS OCCURRED TWICE ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND TWICE ON LEFT REAR SIDE. 2014 - FRONT PASSENGER, 2015- REAR LEFT, 2016-REAR LEFT, 2018-FRONT PASSENGER. BEGAN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY, NOW IS PERMANENTLY JAMMED.

I HAVE A RS 7.0 WHICH HAS THE BODY KIT. VERY OFTEN, WHEN I TURN, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A PASSENGER OR EXTRA WEIGHT IN THE CAR, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THE FRONT WHEELS ARE SCRAPING AGAINST THE BODY OF THE CAR. OF COURSE, THE DEALER CAN'T HEAR THE SOUND AT ALL. BUT THAT IS WHAT I EXPECTED. I JUST HOPE THAT WHEN THE TIRE BLOWS BECAUSE OF WEAR, I DON'T GET KILLED. THE CAR IS ALMOST THREE MONTHS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA SCION XB. THE CONTACT STATED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER ADVISED HE WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE FAILURE AND WAS UNABLE TO OFFER A REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 1,100. UPDATED 06/21/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE BACK GROUND OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE BLACK AND THE POINTERS AND NUMBERS WERE RED. IN DULL LIGHT AND AT NIGHT, WITH THE PANEL LIGHTS ON, EVERYTHING WAS VISIBLE. HOWEVER, AS DAY LIGHT BECAME BRIGHTER, THE ABILITY TO READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME DIFFICULT. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM IS NOT ELECTRICAL, HOWEVER THIS IS THE CLOSEST COMPONENT WE HAVE TO DESCRIBE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I ALSO CHOSE STRUCTURE AS A COMPONENT AS WELL, AS IT MAY JUST BE A DESIGN ISSUE. UPDATED 06/24/10. *JB
