IN EARLY FEBRUARY 2009 MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DID NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY. I THOUGHT THAT IT JUST WAS STICKING AND GAVE IT A HARDER PUSH. IT THEN STARTED WORKING FINE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I WENT TO THE DRIVE THROUGH AT THE BANK AND LOWERED THE WINDOW. WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT UP IT ONLY WENT UP HALF WAY. IT WAS TWO MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WAY THE HINGE AND WINDOW MECHANISM ARE DESIGNED I NEEDED A COMPLETELY NEW DOOR, THAT THE OLD ONE COULD NOT BE FIXED. I FOUND OUT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE CAR WHICH DEALERS WERE NOTIFIED OF IN 2007, BUT WERE NOT REQUIRED TO NOTIFY VEHICLE OWNERS. THE REPAIR WAS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $2400. JUST FOUND A FRIEND WHO WAS ABLE TO FIX IT IN AN HOUR AND A HALF. THERE IS A MODIFICATION AVAILABLE IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND ASK. MODIFICATION REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURS, OR AT LEAST BEFORE YOU USE THE WINDOW AFTER THE DOOR STICKS, BUT IF YOU ARE UNAWARE OF THE DESIGN PROBLEM, THE INITIAL STICKING OF THE DOOR SEEMS LIKE A MINOR NEXT TIME THE CAR IS SERVICE HAVE IT LUBED TYPE ISSUE. *TR UPDATED 09/01/09. *LJ

TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A PEBBLE BECAUSE THE GLASS SHOWED A POINT OF IMPACT.EARD ANYTHING HIT THE WINDOW, IT JUST BROKE. WHY IS SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A WIND DEFLECTOR MADE OF GLASS?I NEVER EVEN NOTICED THIS PIECE OF GLASS THAT POPS UP AND NOW I FEEL VULNERABLE FOR DRIVING IN THE FUTURE,. NOT TO MENTION THE ALMOST $500.00 THAT IT WILL COST ME TO FIX THIS FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTED ITEM OR IT SHOULD BE MADE OF A PLASTIC MATERIAL. I SAW MANY COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE. I BELIEVE IT SHATTERED FROM THE WIND JUST LIKE THE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I READ. I LOVED MY SCION TC AND NOW I AM DISENCHANTMENT WITH THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 SCION TC SINCE FEB. 2006 AND AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING IT, I NOTICED CREAKING AND CLUNKING NOISES IN THE FRONT END. I ALSO HAVE HAD A NEW RIGHT REAR SEATBELT, AND RADIO REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER OVER 10 TIMES NOW IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, AND THEY HAVE GREASED FRONT END AND REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT STRUT AND PLATE, AND STILL NOT RESOLVED, THEY ARE CLAIMING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT IS COLD OUT SO IT IS MAKING THOSE NOISES DUE TO THE WEATHER, HOWEVER IT DOES THIS ALL YEAR AROUND, AND THERE IS ALSO A WOBBLING IN THE FRONT END GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD WHICH IS NOT RESOLVED EITHER. I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR RIGHT NOW I AM READY TO JUST CALL THE LEMON LAW AND MAKE THEM GIVE ME A NEW CAR. I STILL HAVE 3 YEARS LEFT TO PAY THIS CAR OFF, AND I AM TIRE DOF THE RUN AROUND. I CALL SCION CORP HQ AND THEY TRIED TO HELP ME AND COULDN'T EITHER. I LOVE THE CAR BUT THE PROBLEMS HAVE TO BE RESOLVED OR ELSE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES, OR AM I? I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE CAR NOT WANTING TO START SOMETIMES NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER IS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL MAIL TO CONSUMERS THE CORRECTED LABEL OR THE CUSTOMER WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL FREE OF CHARGE. DEALERS WILL ALSO CORRECT THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 27, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GULF STATES TOYOTA AT 713-580-3300.
SOUTHEAST TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2011 PASSENGER VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES WERE SOLD WITHOUT THE REQUISITE LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY MODIFICATION LABELS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A DRIVER MAY OVERLOAD A VEHICLE WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL MAIL TO CONSUMERS THE CORRECTED LABEL OR THE CUSTOMER WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 27, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SOUTHEAST TOYOTA AT 1-800-301-6859.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SIDE IMPACT SEAT-BOLSTER AND CURTAIN SIDE AIRBAGS MAY INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY. THIS CONDITION CAN OCCUR IF THE DOOR FOR THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS CLOSED WITH A HIGH RATE OF FORCE WHILE THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION IS IN THE "ON" POSITION OR WITHIN 90 SECONDS OF TURNING THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE "ON" POSITION TO THE "OFF" POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE SIDE IMPACT SEAT-BOLSTER AND CURTAIN SIDE AIRBAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY, THEY COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF AN OCCUPANT IS SEATED ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS THE DOOR THAT IS CLOSED WITH A HIGH RATE OF FORCE. UNTIL THE REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A MINIMAL FORCE/SPEED BE USED TO CLOSE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS OR CLOSING THE DOORS AFTER 90 SECONDS HAVE ELAPSED FROM TURNING THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE "ON" TO THE "OFF" POSITION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TWO SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG SENSORS AND INSTALL A URETHANE PAD IN THE FRONT DOORS, IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-866-548-1851.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THE AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH IS USED IN THE SIDE AIR BAG, THE CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG, AND THE KNEE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, SOME INFLATORS WERE PRODUCED WITH AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF THE HEATING AGENTS NECESSARY FOR PROPER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IN THIS CONDITION, THE EXPANSION FORCE OF THE GAS MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO PROPERLY INFLATE THE AIR BAG WHEN THE SRS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED DURING A CRASH.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT IN THE INVOLVED SEATING POSITION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPECIFIC SRS AIR BAG. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-888-270-9371, SCION AT 1-866-548-1851, OR LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: PIECES OF THE WIND DEFLECTOR GLASS MAY SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME AND FALL UPON THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING DRIVER DISTRACTION AND/OR INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE LAMINATE TO THE WIND DEFLECTOR TO PREVENT PIECES OF GLASS FROM SEPARATING FROM THE WIND DEFLECTOR FRAME. THE RECALL BEGAN OCTOBER 27, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-866-707-2466.
