2009 Scion Tc

WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH OUR 2009 TOYOTA SCION USING EXCESSIVE OIL. WE HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF OIL IN EVERY 1,200-1,500 MILES AS THE CAR IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ENGINE WILL BLOW UP IF IT RUNS OUT OF OIL. THE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WE HAVE PUT OIL IN BUT THE LAST TIME WE CHECKED THE OIL, IT WAS LOW AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, THE CAR WAS PUT ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROGRAM. WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK WITH 1,200 AND THEY SAID THE CAR PASSED THE PROGRAM. AFTER 1,500 MILES, THE CAR WAS A QUART LOW ON OIL SO WE TOOK IT BACK TO TOYOTA IN SUNNYVALE, CA. THEY ADDED A QUART OF OIL AND ADVISED US TO BRING IT BACK IN JANUARY FOR A SECOND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE TECHNICIAN WHO PUT TH EOIL IN BOTH AGREED THAT THE CAR IS BURNING OIL AND STATED THAT IT IS WITHIN TOYOTA'S GUIDELINES OF BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,200 MILES WHICH IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT IN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,200 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA BY REPLACING THE PISTON RINGS IN THIS MOTOR.

I HAVE A TOYOTA SCION TC AND IT HAS BEEN CONSUMING OIL EVERY 1200 MILES NOW IT'S EVEN LESS MY ENGINE ALMOST STARTED TO LOCK UP BECAUSE THERE WAS NO AIR ON I DID THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THEY SAID I PASSED ON MY PAPERWORK IT HAS THEM ADDING OIL AND I ONLY DROVE 1100 MILES THAT'S NOT NORMAL THEY'RE TELLING ME THEY CANNOT FIX MY CAR AND THE NEXT TEST I TAKE IS GOING TO BE IN SIX MONTHS SO I HAVE TO ADD A QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY THOUSAND MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA SCION TC EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S PLUS TIRES, SIZE 215/45/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE TIRE WAS A REPLACEMENT TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE PASSPORT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY OIL IN IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT SIMILAR MODELS WERE EXPERIENCING "OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES", AND I SHOULD DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILES AND RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER TESTING. AFTER COMPLETION OF THE TEST, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS IN FACT BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY BUT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE MY VIN # WAS SELECTED TO BE APART OF THE TOYOTA SERVICE PROGRAM. *TR

THE ENGINE IN MY 2009 SCION TC HAS BEEN BURNING OIL INTERNALLY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF THE CAR RUNS OUT OF OIL WHICH IT ALMOST DID. TOYOTA CONSTRUCTED THE ENGINE IMPROPERLY AND THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT WHICH INVOLVES REPLACING THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE ENGINE SUCH AS THE RINGS AND PISTONS. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, TOYOTA REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM BUT OFFERED TO REBUILD MY ENGINE AT FULL COST. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT EVERYONE WHO PURCHASED A CAR MADE BY TOYOTA WITH THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. I AM HAVING TO ADD OIL TO MY CAR WEEKLY DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. OTHERS WHO HAVE CARS WITH THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IF THEY RUN OUT OF OIL. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THE ENGINE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS AND MAKE THE APPROPRIATE REPAIRS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA SCION TC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF HER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I HAVE HAD MY 2009 SCION TC FOR JUST ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, BACK IN FEBRUARY I WAS JUST DOING SOME GROCERY SHOPPING, WENT TO OPEN THE TRUNK AND THE WHOLE TRUNK RELEASE HANDLE FELL OFF,AND NOW IS JUST CONNECTED BY WIRES WHICH IS A DISTRACTION TO DRIVERS BEHIND ME AND ALSO COVERS THE LICENSE PLATE WHICH I'M SURE IS JUST CAUSE FOR ME TO GET A TRAFFIC FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY,EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FULL WARRANTY LEFT ON MY CAR FOR 100,00 MILES. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE THAT THIS PART ISN'T COVERED FOR MANUFACTURE DEFECTS AND POOR WORKMANSHIP, THIS SHOULD NOT FALL APART AFTER 2 YEARS, AND IT CLEARLY SHOULD BE RECALLED.. IF TOYOTA WANTS TO KEEP SELLING CARS, THEY NEED TO MAKE GOOD ON FIXING THIS PROBLEM.. MY CAR HAS A WARRANTY ON IT SO I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE FALLEN OFF SO EASILY!!!! POOR MANUFACTURING........AND WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, TOYOTA SHOULD DEFINITELY BE TAKING CARE OF THERE CUSTOMERS IF THEY WANT FUTURE CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA SCION FROM THE FAIRFIELD, CA DEALERSHIP . I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED UP TO A FASTER SPEED THAN I WANTED I TRIED TO CORRECT IT IN THE CONFUSION AND NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS GOING ON I LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS 10,000.00 OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR IT WAS REPAIRED BUT THEN I HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN THE SAME CAR AGAIN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT I BARLEY TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL MY CAR JUMPED INTO A HIGH SPEED SMASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AFTER I HIT I TURNED AROUND TO CHECK ON MY CHILD THINKING A CAR HAD HIT ME FROM BEHIND BUT IT WAS NOT ANOTHER CAR IT WAS JUST MINE BUT THEN IT DID IT AGAIN SMASHING INTO THE CAR AGAIN. IT WAS CRAZY I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON MY FACE WAS SMASHED UP PRETTY BAD 2 BLACK EYES AND FAT LIPS EXTRA. MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO HARD IT SMASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. NOW GATHER I WAS ALREADY STOPPED SITTING AND WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN WHAT CAUSED MY CAR NOT ONCE BUT TWICE TO SMASH INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. I HAD THE WORST TIME WITH THIS CAR IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS DRIVING WITH A DARK CLOUD OVER ME. NOT ONLY WAS THE ACCELERATION A PROBLEM BUT THE TRUNK LID ALSO BROKE OFF AND MY SEAT BELTS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE ALSO WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SOMETIMES IF I WAS ON A STEEP HILL THE BRAKES WOULD SKIP AND NOT CATCH ALMOST LIKE IT WOULD JUMP. *TR
