Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SCION XD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,500.
WHEN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL TOO QUICKLY, DOWN SHIFT TO PASSING SPEED AND THE GAS PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND PULL THE PEDAL BACK UP WITH MY TOE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES IN THE PAST, EACH TIME WHEN STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL QUICKLY TO PASS. FORTUNATELY, I DO NOT NEED TO SPEED UP QUICKLY TO PASS OFTEN.
MAJOR LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 20 TIMES THE PAST FEW WEEKS. LUCKILY, EACH TIME, I MANAGED TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING. TURNING OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES RETURNED IT TO NORMAL OPERATION. SOME TIMES, THE ENGINEWAS 'RACING' WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED BACK ON. AND OTHER TIMES, I HAD TO PERFORMMULTIPLE OFF-ON CYCLING OF THE ENGINE BEFORE NORMAL BEHAVOIR WAS RESTORED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS BEHAVIOR ALSO OCCURRED A FEW TIMES LAST YEARBUT SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT REMAIN ON, I WASN'T SURE THAT THE DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT THE RECENT HOT WEATHER WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROBLEM TO OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ACTON TOYOTA FOR 7/20/2013. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING CAUSED BY A FAILED THROTTLE BODY AND PARTS ARE ON ORDER. THEY SAID THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE $1300. SO, I'M NOW RESEARCHING WHETHER THIS DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM OF THE TOYOTA ECONOMIC LOSS SETTLEMENT THAT RECEIVED FINAL APPROVAL BY THE FEDERAL COURT ON 7/19/2013. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A THROTTLE BODY TO FAIL ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 36K MILES AND 4 YEARS OLD. *TR
MY SISTER'S TOYOTA SCIONS XD WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTI CARS ACCIDENT ON SEPT. 9, 2010 AROUND 6:00 PM. THE SCIONS WAS FIRST INVOLVED INTO 1 SUDDEN AND RIGHT AFTERWARD THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CLOSED TO 100 MPH AND IT WENT ABOUT QUARTER MILE BEFORE IT HIT ANOTHER CAR. IT FINALLY STOPPED WHEN THE CAR HIT A ROAD GUIDE. *TR
