Toyota Scion Reviews

I am a Toyota/Scion person! In fact, my whole family is! But I'm very upset about my treatment regarding the way Scion has passed the proverbial "buck" on to me. I finally heard that there was a recall of the hatch/garnish for my 2005 Scion! I was not personally notified. So I called when I heard about it and was told that in order to qualify I would have to produce a receipt that I actually had bought & replaced my hatch.

I am writing this letter to Toyota today due to an unfortunate event that has occurred. This is in regards to my 2007 Scion TC currently at 120,000 miles. On Thursday March 19, 2015 my motor blew 28 minutes away from my destination in Panama City Beach, Florida. I had left the previous night to drop off a friend that was going down to Florida. We performed all regular auto checks as anyone would when going on a long trip like we did. We checked the tires, windshield washer fluid, blinkers and the oil. We noticed the oil was fairly low, so while we were at the gas station we had purchased (3) quarts of oil (receipt not on hand) to add in. As we proceeded on our trip we were 28 minutes away from our destination and my oil light came on and stayed on, this has never happened. It has only blinked before and as soon as it did I would check the oil level.

Purchased my first Scion xB (2011, used) in 2013. Loved it. While at a routine service appointment at Central Florida Toyota in Orlando, Florida, I saw a 2014 model. After much negotiation, I drove home with it. First new car in 17 years. Everything fine from April-December 2014. Then the fuel economy starting to slide down. It was getting 23.4 mpg overall driving consistently. Then without warning these numbers starting dipping to 20 and below. I took the car to the original dealership, Central Florida Toyota. They told me it was the tire pressures. They charged me handsomely to replace a tire with a puncture and sent me on my way. The car is 11 mos. old with less than 6,000 miles.

Engine constantly showing low on oil. Finally blew motor even with constant checking. Check with Scion on 2009 TC complaints or recalls, they claimed no reported problems. Bought a complete rebuilt motor from O'Raileys, still having same problems. I should have just junked it, instead of putting another motor in.

All I can say is I'm on my second xB and I LOVE IT! I have no complaints, NONE! The only drawback I can see is that the xB is not going to be produced any longer. I am very disappointed. I own a 2011 now and think I will get another before they all disappear.

In Sept 2013, the engine light in my fiance's 2008 Scion TC came on. I stopped at my local mechanic's shop and he ran diagnostics and said the code showed the catalytic converter was bad. It had 79,200 miles at this point. He also stated that the EPA forces auto companies to warranty all catalytic converters for 8 yr/80k miles.

I leased a 2013 Scion IQ from Vancouver Toyota/Scion of Washington (State). At the time of the transaction I was told that the maintained agreements were transferable from state to state. I have since moved to The Big Island of Hawaii, and have found out that the Toyota rep. lied. I am currently at Big Island Toyota having to pay for the 15k routine service that should be covered by Toyota. I am happy with my Scion IQ, but will never buy a Toyota product again and will make sure that all my friends and family know of the dishonorable business practices that Toyota espouses. Please do not buy any Toyota products.

I purchased this 2013 Scion IQ April 13, 2013 at the Servco Scion in Honolulu. The first thing I noticed shortly after buying it was a sound in my front left tire. After several times of bringing it in to the Kaneohe Servco, I was told "That's hot it is" due to them not being able to fix it. Then a few months later my gas gauge stopped working and I had no idea of how much gas I had. They then fixed that. November 14, 2014 the steering wheel developed a noise. I brought it back in and after I took it for a test drive with one of the mechanics in the car with me to insure he would hear the noise (Which he then did), I left the car and was given a loaner. My car sat idle Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday due to lack of staff. I received a call from Bill (the Service writer at Kaneohe Toyota) on November 19, 2014 who informed me the steering is not good and it is going to cost about 3,000 and paperwork needs to be submitted for this work to begin. The parts then have to be ordered from the mainland.

My story began in November 2011 when we purchased our first Scion, a 2005 xB. I had always liked the looks of the boxy little vehicle but had never really given much thought to buying one. Found a good deal on a 2005, automatic with right at 70k miles. Before I continue, I am 39 years old and have been a car enthusiast for as long as I can remember. I have owned more vehicles than I could ever begin to count over the years, foreign and domestic. So, prior to the xB our last vehicle was a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer. The xB was very surprisingly roomy. Much more than the Blazer as far as head/leg room but lose some on rear storage. Gas mileage was GREAT averaging 30+ mpg. They are not powerful or fast by any means which suited my wife and myself fine. There are, however, a ton of quality aftermarket parts to boost performance and looks.

On 10/18/14 our 2006 Scion XB back door garnish broke. In doing some online research we found that this is a common problem with this model and the repair is covered under a warranty enhancement/Extension of Warranty Coverage for Back Door Garnish Loose or Broken (warranty policy bulletin no. POL 13-01). We contacted the closest dealer McGeorge Toyota Scion 9319, W Broad St. Henrico, VA 23294 to get it repaired under this warranty and they stated it was nothing they could do under warranty to repair the problem. We mentioned the previously stated warranty and they were persistent in letting us know that the warranty will not repair this problem. We went back to the internet for some help with this no warranty repair problem. Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. website had all the information on this problem.

Last weekend my ~1 year old Scion FR-S dies completely out of the blue on the 405 while my eight month pregnant wife was driving it. This is a car that is just over one year old, was bought new from this dealer, and is still under warranty. We get it towed to this service center Saturday. Eddie ** tells us: "We'll know what's wrong by the end of the day!" and "We'll cover you for a rental. Just call us Monday morning!" Monday morning comes around. No word about what is wrong with the car. All calls to Eddie go to voicemail. No calls are returned. I walk to the service center and find Eddie. He says he is still "waiting on authorization from Japan". He tells me he will not offer me a free rental. I'm late to work and have to rent a car from Enterprise to get to work.

My husband is 6'7'' and he has difficulty finding a car which he fits into. He has a large upper body torso. We liked our first 2005 Toyota Scion XB, good interior room. Has little eye appeal however good gas mileage, handles well. And most importantly, I was involved in a motor vehicle crash and it protected me well with all airbag deployment and also seat belt was adjustable for my height of 5'3" which I believed saved my life. Yes I had injury, but when you consider I was hit by a tractor trailer from behind and then hit into large truck in front of me, I feel lucky to be alive. Not pretty but very durable. Yes he bought another Scion XB 2014, new car.

This car is poorly designed. I recently started having brake issues, that were basically, NO BRAKES. Every time I'd go down a hill, I could feel the brakes release and not want to grab again. Replaced the brakes, brake shoes, front rotors, brake cylinders in the rear, adjusted the brake adjusters, and bleed the brakes. No change and I still have no brakes. Either is the master cylinder, ABS system, or Vacuum (all costly). Not to mention extreme vibrating in my air intake.

I took my car in for the 5000 tire rotation and asked them to look at the rattle in the sunroof when open. I got an answer that it is the design of the sunroof. So the engineer that design this car, design the sunroof to rattle. No fix.

Changed oil. I was driving - the engine stop - pull over to the side, found a hole on the engine and still have about $2500 payment on the car. I guess I'm gonna bite the bullet, finish the payment and never buy anything made by Toyota. Lots of people having problem with oil and engine knocking so BOYCOTT BOYCOTT Toyota.

My 2006 Scion TC with 78,801 miles in it has blown gaskets, claims Toyota of San Bernardino. The Service Advisor told me that it will cost me $4,400 approximate to replace the original engine for a used one and double that for a new one. The dealer recommend to replace the engine. My once high expectations for a car made by Toyota sank! The sad part about it is my son and I bought a 2014 Scion Tc for his use. I don't know if it was the right decision. I got the quote yesterday, 7/10/14. It only takes 1 bad experience to seriously look at another manufacturer for my next car. My car looks great after all these years because I take care of it inside and out except, of course, this untimely occurrence.

I received the extended warranty on the back door Garnish a few months ago. The other day I went to the Toyota Dealership (AutoNation Toyota South Austin) to have it fixed but they told me that the extended warranty was expired in March 2014. I called Toyota and filed a claim but they also told me the same damn thing. What am I supposed to do now?

Bought a new 2013 scion xb. Began experiencing brake problems around 3,000 miles. Brakes pulsate going down hills and feel like the car is NOT going to stop. Also have inconsistent brake squeaking. Pads were replaced and brakes were "greased" to help with squeaking. Brakes still continue to squeak and pulsate. This car has been to the Toyota dealership 6 different times. Working on lemon law-ing this car. Buyer beware! Don't but an xb!

I purchased a 2006 model Toyota Scion Tc in July 2005 and sometime in 2012 the "back-door garnish" (basically the trunk latch) broke during normal usage. This is a well-documented issue that exists for a lot of Scion models and finally, after years of owner activity on Facebook, Scion issued a "warranty enhancement notice" in late 2013. Unfortunately, it was listed as only valid from 7 years after first date of use. So I received the notice after it was already expired. Dealership refused to do the repair, even acknowledging "the timing is really messed up" -- suggested I contact Toyota customer service to authorize an extension. Corporate office refused.

Warranty Enhancement Offer has expired but what about all the broken Scions still on the road? There should NOT be an expiration on them replacing a defective part. Many Scion owners were never notified or turned away from dealers that did not know about or honor offer! Check out Facebook Page with 2000 people that joined have been affected. Scion tC and XB - Defective Trunk Hatch Handle

I have a 2007 Scion tC. It has 107,000 miles on it and has always run smoothly. I recently got the oil changed and at my 5000 mile mark to get my oil changed again, I noticed that there was a loud clicking sound when I accelerated. I took it to the dealership to have it looked at, and he told me I had no oil in my car, but there was also no leak. They have no idea how the oil got out of my car because there were no previous issues with my engine, or why the light didn't come on telling me the pressure was off... but now I need a whole new engine. They told me it's possible the people who changed my oil may not have put oil in it in the first place.

March 2013, Toyota Scion sent a letter to all Scion XB owners stating that there was a potential problem with the loosening of the Back Door Garnish. If your vehicle had not experienced this condition, no action was necessary. Toyota however did not classify this as a recall which it should be. The letter was to offer a "warranty enhancement" program ZTW, good for 7 years from vehicle date of sale or one year from the announcement of the program March 13, 2013 to March 13, 2014 regardless of mileage. Therefore if you experience the condition outside their narrow confines, you're out of luck and looking at a costly repair. Obviously, Toyota knows there is a defect and should have issued a recall. Another example of Toyota putting profit ahead of standing behind their product and customers.

So to the folks complaining about missing cabin air filters in their Scion tC. They were never intended to have one. There is a place for one because the car shares internal dash components with other Toyota models. Shaking my head at the person who thinks she may have developed health issues from lack of one...

I have a 2006 Scion TC and yes the back hatch is broke... however... I went to go get an oil change and they printed off suggested maintenance according to mileage and manufacturer. I noticed it said Cabin Air Filter, I asked the gentleman helping me, "Is this what I think it is... a filter to filter out what is coming into my car?" At that time he said, "Wait let me double check your car... it may not need or have a place for one." He came back and informed me there was not one there... matter of fact he could see by discoloration of where it would have held the filter... It has never had one.

I have a 2004 Scion XB. The power door lock on the driver side frequently does not unlock when it's supposed to. I can't unlock it by pulling on the lock,or by my key fob. Occasionally the switch on the door unlocks it, but I have to hit lock, unlock 6 to 10 times before it might work. I have had to climb out the passenger door several times, which is pretty embarrassing when you're in, oh, say, a shopping center, with lots of people watching! What I worry about is what if I get in an accident and the doors don't unlock? That's a deadly scenario. Or if there's a fire. Or I get trapped in water. All of these are potentially deadly circumstances. I know there are lots of other owners with this same complaint and Toyota does not think it's a safety issue so they refuse to fix the lock or issue any warnings or recalls.

I have/had a 2012 Scion XD. I was traveling at less than 30mph when the car in front of me stopped unexpectedly. I hit the brakes and unfortunately was unable to stop in time. I rear ended a midsize SUV. The air bags deployed and a fire erupted in the engine compartment before I was able to get out of the car. Before the Fire Dept. could arrive the entire car was engulfed in flames. I was able to get out just fine, with the loss of replaceable items and the car itself. However, something doesn't seem right that a minor crash would result in a fire. The damaged sustained by the SUV was bumper damage, no body damage resulted whatsoever. As for the Scion, it is kind of hard to tell exactly due to the fire, but the hood is only slightly bent and I noticed no damage to the fenders. Is this a defect or a one off incident? Has anyone else had a similar issue? I have contacted Scion, who has opened a claim on this. We will wait and see, in the meantime I hope no one has a similar issue, especially if the doors were jammed.

I purchased a 2012 Scion iQ in Feb. 2013. The specs were modified when I purchased it, giving the illusion that it had a lot of power. In Aug. 2013, I took it to Frontier Toyota... They had to rebuild the engine... basically from all the carbon build up around the pistons. Now the car runs like it always should have! HORRIBLE!! On top of that... while in the care of Frontier Toyota, the service department removed and replaced all the aftermarket parts that were on it, with stocked parts. Even the custom leather back seats!! I have many complaints filed, asking for someone to assist me in this act of theft and fraud. PLEASE, if anyone can direct me or refer me to anyone else that can help me with this matter. I would greatly appreciate it. I've been back to Frontier, with a poster sign in hand... trying to enlighten possible other customers, of the criminal ACTS being performed at this dealership!

2006 Scion xA Airbags did not deploy - I was in an accident on a freeway last week in which I was rear ended by a car and pushed into the back of a truck. It smashed up the rear and front of my car, totaling it. Neither the driver or passenger airbags deployed and judging by the damage, I believe in all rights they should have. I've contacted an attorney and learned that I can have the airbags inspected by an expert but it would cost $3,000 to $5,000 out of pocket. The driver of my vehicle and I suffered whiplash and bruises to various areas on our bodies. I'm very upset and disturbed that the airbags did not deploy. If the accident had been any worse, I wonder, would I have been killed as well due to the failure of this safety feature.

I wanted to know if anyone that owned a Scion and had a problem with the airbags not deploying, are you going to take legal action? The reason I'm asking is because my daughter was in a fatal car accident and her airbags did not deploy.

The XB has only 84,000 miles and has been trouble-free up to now. We've had regular oil changes and inspections done by our 20-year trusted service garage. The car has always had a soft pulsing engine sound when running, which we assumed was normal for this vehicle. But lately, the sound began to get slightly louder; plus this week, suddenly, all the ABS/trac/brake lights came on and stayed on. Since we had to go to the dealer for a possible recall of the power window master switch assembly anyway, we asked them to check out the sound and the lights. The switch was indeed bad and is being fixed, but we were appalled and incredulous when they reported a bad water pump and a corroded electronic cable harness and hub, requiring $1,500.00 to replace! We are having that work done now, not knowing any alternatives; and we are hoping Toyota will reimburse us for at least some of that awful cost. Our dealer is Superior Motors, LLC (Superior Toyota), 5615 Peach St. Erie, PA l6509, 814-868-3656. Please advise. Thank you.

While trying to open my trunk, the handle just broke. No aggressive force was used. This seems to be a common problem with Scions and it needs to be fixed in all past and current models.

I had my car (08 Scion XD with Toyota's 100,000 mi. Platinum Extended Warranty) serviced on 5/3/12 at Sansone Toyota in Avenel, NJ. I didn't receive any of the repairs that were covered under warranty, but was persuaded into a brake service and windshield repair at my expense. My request included fixing electrical problems and checking the engine area for anything that could be wrong. My car was about 100 miles from the 100,000 mile warranty limit and I informed the service manager that I was hearing a sound and noticed a leak under the car. I put the request in writing b/c Sansone overlooked my first request to fix the electrical issue with the dome lights in the past.

While driving at 65 mph on the freeway, my sunroof shattered. Broken glass everywhere inside my car, I took the car (2007 Toyota Scion TC) to the dealership for repair. It will cost $900 to repair the sunroof. Nothing hit the sunroof. It is a common problem with 2005 and 2006 TC. And now, I have this problem with my car.

The '08 Scion xB with 33,000 mi. was in great condition. As has been posted previously, there is no warning with this problem. You just get in the car and "tah-dah": no power steering. Keep in mind that this is a solid state piece of electronics with no moving parts, that catastrophically fails with no warning. I could understand a mechanical failure due to driver handling in a low mileage vehicle but in this case, I was incredulous, especially since my previous Toyotas have been hassle free for ten years at a time. Anyway, $1034 was quoted to repair, and outside time warranty. Great. I called Scion customer service (not the dealer) and they are picking up 75% of bill. This issue has shaken my confidence in Toyota and I may consider selling it early and moving on before more 'surprises', but the customer service folks came through and at least redeemed the situation to my satisfaction and the brand somewhat.

My 2008 Scion xB power steering failed on 04/12/2012 at night while leaving Publix. The steering wheel would not turn left or right despite operating perfectly fine when I parked the car to go to Publix. This car is in mint condition with only 47,700 miles on it. I bought it in June, 2008. I noticed a weird indicator on the dashboard and checked the owner's manual. The manual stated to take the car immediately to the dealership. I called World Toyota in Atlanta, GA, but they were already closed. I called a tow truck to have my car towed to my house.

I bought Scion TC on 8-8-09. About 3 months into owning, I discovered the driver seat had white spots left on it when I brought it in for service. They said they would clean it. About 3 days after cleaning, the white spots returned on the left side of seat only. When I brought it back again for oil change, I made mention on the bottom seat as well as the side seat that seemed to have frayed mark.

There’s a clutch failure on my 2010 Scion xB with 25,000 miles on it. The clutch went out while driving on interstate. I was able to pull off, but the damage was done. Toyota claims the clutch was a wear and tear item like the brakes. It was not covered by warranty. I have driven manual cars all my life. I never had one give out that quickly!

I have a friend who owned a 2006 Scion XB. Last year, he wrecked the car, head on, the airbags didn't deploy. Thinking it was just a default in the XB, he bought a 07 Scion TC, last weekend, he wrecked the car, hit a road sign head on, airbags did not deploy. He may be careless with cars, but regardless of his experience behind the wheel, in two different Scion's neither cars airbags deployed. He has yet to go to Toyota or Scion about it. Now, my problem is, last summer I bought a 2005 Scion XB. Should I get out of a Scion all together?

I have a 2007 Scion tC. The air bags did not deploy, and the ABS did not work! This happened in 2007. I was told nothing could be done, so I didn't push it any further. I just came across this site, so I thought I'd share my experience, and maybe, eventually, this issue will be resolved.

I have a 2008 XB. I am having the same problem with oil consumption. The oil light barely flickered once. Luckily, I checked the oil and it was 3 quarts low! I can't believe this! I have over 2 years of payments left on this car! This is the worst problem I have had but not the first. Last year, the air bag harness went bad but was covered under the warranty. Last month, the electronic steering went bad but was not covered and it cost me $750! This car truly is a piece of junk. In light of this, I will never buy another Toyota product again.

The advertised sticker on my 2006 Scion xA stated 32 to 37 mpg. I am lucky to get 25 mpg on the highway. Manual transmission. The gear ratios are obviously off; however, the Toyota dealership states it is "normal." I don't know who they are trying to kid— except me! When driving 57 mph, the ROMs are over 3,000. It is impossible to get normal gas mileage.

The sun roof deflector on my Toyota Scion TC has shattered twice and Toyota will not replace it. I have researched and found a lot of others that have had the same issue.

My 2005 Toyota Scion TC had its wind deflector broken into pieces today. Now we have to look into recalls on this and if they ever replaced them ever since we bought it.

In October 2007, I purchased my Black Cherry Pearl 2007 Scion TC along with the extended gold warranty for $1,195. On March 29, 2011, I attempted to open my sunroof which failed to open. On April 7, 2011, I took my car to the Yuba City Toyota dealer and they contacted the insurance company with regards to the extended warranty which does not cover the sunroof since it is not an electrical problem. It will approximately cost $1,280.55 plus $525 in labor to repair the sunroof because the cable on the left hand side was broken. I will also mention that my car is in excellent condition and only had 21,862 original miles and the sunroof has not been used during the winter months.

I can't believe this, but I was getting out of my car and hit the lock button by mistake. I then hit the unlock button, got out of my car, hit the lock button again, closed my car door and my car started! There I was outside my car with the engine running. I then tried my lock fob and sure enough, lock/unlock/lock started my car. I do not have remote start but being able to start your car with the door lock sounds odd!

My son bough a Toyota Scion 90 days ago. On July 11 at 10:30 p.m., my son was driving on the Taconic Parkway in Putnam County, New York. He struck a deer and fishtailed. He was driving approx. 55 MPH, and he struck the median wall. His car is totally smashed on the front. He also struck his head on the steering wheel. But he did not fly out, because he was wearing his seat belt.

I have an original Toyota Scion XB and have been fairly happy with it until today. I was unloading boxes since we have been moving and I accidentally touched the tailpipe with my leg. I now have third degree burns on my leg. After examining it further, the tail pipe sticks way out and it could easily happen to anyone.

We own a 2005 Scion Tc. Last night while driving on the highway the moonroof, without being damaged, shattered and glass fell inside the car and on the driver’s side and throughout the car. The majority of the glass stayed together (as it is supposed to) but was shattered. I see many similar problems online but the recall, which my car had done, was for the deflector portion of the roof assembly, not the moonroof portion that doesn't move. I contacted Scion but they said they aren't responsible.

I purchased a new 2010 Scio xD December 19 2009. After driving it 400 miles, I brought in to the service shop of Eddy's Toyota/Scion in Wichita, KS for what I think is a harmonic vibration/noise at highway speeds when the engine rpm is at or above 3000 rpm. The service dept. didn't solve the problem for me. I called the Scion Nationwide phone number and after repeated runarounds and missed deadlines, nothing has been done to resolve the problem or a good faith effort by Toyota Scion has been made. I guess they expect me to go away if they ignore me. I might add that this is my second Scion. I also have a 2008 Scion xB that I purchased new about two and a half years ago and have no problems with it.

I lost control of my 2006 Toyota Scion XA on 12/22/09 on black ice going around a curve at 40 mph. My car went off the road, hit a tree stump head on, bounced off and then proceeded to flip over. The entire car was destroyed, the driver’s front was completely smashed and center front t-boned. My airbags never deployed at all and I fractured my left zygomatic arch bone in my face, crushed a disk in my jaw, bruised my ribs, wrist, shins and had knee abrasions. I first contacted Scion via chat and was told "the airbag sensors will not deploy upon any impact alone, but instead, will deploy based on the rate of deceleration that is measured.

A few days ago, I filed my complaint on this site regarding the filing of a lien by Toyota against me for a vehicle I did not purchase. I am pleased to report the situation has been resolved and the lien is no longer an issue. I highly recommend this site as a venue for informing people of the pitfalls to be alerted to. The Toyota company has informed me they no longer have a lien against me. Hoo rah! The economic damage was resolved by Toyota once all issues were clarified.

12/24/2009 Christmas eve. My girlfriend and I had just driven 3 hours to see our family for Christmas. We left that night to head back home. About 30 miles from home on the Highway, I was in the left lane. I was traveling 70 mph, which is the speed limit. Out of nowhere, a buck (deer) jumped out in front of me. I had no time to stop. I hit the deer head on. The car stopped instantly but, didn't kill the engine. As I got out of the car, the front end damage was very severe. The front bumper was split in two. The front hood was pushed into the windshield. The radiator was crammed into the engine. The car had to be flat bedded out by a tow service. My problem is, the airbags didn't come out. The estimate is $11,000 dollars of damage, and very close to totaled. We filed a complaint with Toyota/Scion. We got a very nasty call back, stating that I had not hit the "airbag sensor" in the "correct spot".

The audible warnings for lights left on and seat belt warning cannot be heard. When we bought the car, it worked but gradually went away. Mr. ** took it in their shop, but he said they couldn't do anything about it. All of my other Toyota products worked fine. Has Toyota let something slip through the crack? I want my Scion working properly.

I own a 2005 Toyota Scion. On Monday, June 15, 2009 I was driving my car into my parking space and all of a sudden the engine started to race and move. I tried to apply brakes, but I had none, and my car ran into a brick wall and caused over $2,000 worth of damage. This amount doesn't include the cost to check/repair the problem the car has. Are there any reports of the same incident happening to other owners? Luckily, no one was injured, and I did not have my grandchildren in the car. I am grateful that I had not been pulling up to a stop light and hit another car.

I had my oil changed every 5,000 miles. After oil change at 27,000 miles, I went to Amrillo, Texas. I didn't think anything of it to check oil before getting on the road. I drove to Texas. Then before we left, I went to check the oil in the car. There was hardly any on the dipstick. I had to add oil to the car. I called the Toyota dealer in Kansas to see what we could do since we were in Texas, in the middle of nowhere, and we had to drive one hour to get a Toyota dealer to look at it and tell us what was wrong.

They notated on the receipt and told us on the last oil change that it looked like the oil was very old and dark, and low. I was 2,000 miles left before needing oil change, they said it looked like they didn't put oil back in the car from the last oil change.

2007 Scion TC was bought on 4/10/09 with 39000 mi. I had it 2 hrs., driving down the highway. There was a loud pop noise, and the wind deflector popped up and shattered the closed sun roof starting at the edges along the tracks. Glass fell in and glass pieces with track attached flew off causing hazard to other drivers. I drove straight back to dealer. They took the car back. Once fixed, are they safe or will this happen again? I filed a report with Scion, but they did not seem to care one way or another. The defect needs to be made a recall. I've noted many, many blogs online of the same problem. Daughter is afraid to drive. I call but will another 2007 TC be the answer or a switch to another make and model?

I bought a 2005 Toyota Scion Tc and after buying it a few months down the road a recall on the moon roof was sent to me for the glass to have a protective cover placed on it and that the wind deflector could shatter at highway speeds.

The replacement cost, assuming no water damage (it has been raining off and on)is $375 parts + labor. The edges of the deflector were taped over with duct tape to reduce likelihood of water penetration.

my duaghter has a brnad new scion she was hit on the driver door then reared head on on the guard rail. the bumped the guard rail again. the airbag did not deploy...what gives how can i ever trust this vehicle again.

friday may 25th 2007 my 19 year old daughter was driving my 2006 scion tc on I95 north when the sunroof shattered for no apparent reason. in a panic and shocked state, after hearing the loud boom..and glass flying in and dropping into the car on her... she pulled over to the side of the road she called me frantically. on my way to meet her on the side of the road, i called my local toyota dealership where I had purchased the car. I had asked if there had been a recall on the sunroof.they told me no. when i arrived at the dealership with the car....(cuts on my foot from the glass....and glass imbedded in my foot.) T

The glass deflector before my moon roof on my scion tc shattered. I do not believe anything hit it. I believe it just broke while I was driving on the highway.

While driving home from work one day, my sud-assembly to my moonroof started to shatter. Not only did it shatter for over an hour, it continued to shatter after the car was parked in my garage. I then found out that Toyota had a recall on the exact part that shattered on my car, for the exact reason. owever after calling Toyota they told me to bring my car in to be looked at. Toyota then told me that even though it was the exact same problem, they would not be liable to cover the damage bcause my car had a protective tape over the glass, and they dont know why it shattered like that. The big problem is that when the glass shattered it came apart from the car, and the glass started to fall into the frame of the car! I have two children that ride in the backseat, and thats not safe! So how is Toyota going to recall a part, claim that it's been fixed, and not even acknoldge when the problem still happens. This is a huge safety issue, what if my childs were in the car. I just want to know if anyone else with a Toyota Scion TC (2006) has also had this issue, since the recall that Toyota would not replace.
