Why did the dealer tell me this recall is not associated with my vin when I keep getting recall UNADDREESSED notices for my vehicle? This is a safety reason and a complete disconnect between dealerships and Toyota manufacture. I need this addressed immediately!

Bought this car for my 16 yo. He was driving home last evening with his 9YO brother in the car and they heard a loud pop. He pulled over to investigate the noise and discovered that his sunroof glass had shattered. Thankfully the inner shade was closed. No sign of impact from any type of object and no known prior damage to the sunroof. Just spontaneously shattered while driving down a straight road. Thank goodness my kids were not injured or covered in glass shards from this and it did not cause an accident as the car was in motion at the time.

It's 2020 and I just bought a 2011 scion tc. I took it to an inspection station in the state of maryland so I can have I registered in maryland. My vehicle failed the inspection because it does not have 2 rear reverse lights, it only has one on the driver's side. The passenger side does not have a port or wires for a reverse lights.

I just recently bought 2011 scion tc about 3 months ago. Everything was going great and running smooth, then I had to start pushing the brake to the floor, as if it wasnt working. Then one day I was driving and I was turning into a parking lot and as doing so I hit the brakes and I burnt some rubber but basically the front locked up on me and I drifted my back end in, that's when I realized that I wasnt getting my brakes at they're full potential. So I looked under my car after it had been sitting for around 2 hours, I came back to find that I had leaking oil or something under both front tires, which had me begin to think if there was a leak. a friend then came up to me and told me he had found a recall for something on my car. I came upon your website and put in my vin and came to find out I have an unrepaired recall on my brake lines. I would like to get this settled so I don't have further issues.

A white substance emitted into the interior and the front of the vehicle due to the failure. The vehicle was unoccupied. The vehicle was taken to a dealer (autonation toyota las vegas, 6300 w sahara ave, las vegas, NV 89146, (702) 605-5801). The manufacturer sent a technician who concluded that there was no safety related defect. The manufacturer provided no solution.

I reported to my dealer about there IS only one backup light working. They said"that's the way it IS". Apparently there IS only one instead of 2 backup lights. At night it IS a problem. I can't see where I'm backing into. It's a safety issue. They don't even know how to add another one. That means, I'm stock with it.

Sunroof spontaneously shattered. I was driving down the road around 40mph and suddenly heard a very loud noise. Shortly after this, I heard my sunroof cracking above me. When I pulled over to look, I saw that my sunroof had shattered along the left, right and back of the sunroof. Took it to the dealership and they estimate it to be around $1200-$1300 to fix. $800 for the glass by itself. There were no other cars around me when it happened and nothing above me that could have fallen and done this. If you have had this same issue, please contact scion to let them know so we can get a recall started. 1-866-707-2466.

**Sunroof shattered** around 7:00 am on a monday (12/28) I go outside to warm up my car an notice that the sunroof IS shattered! it IS shattered in a way that appears it was from the inside going outward. the outside edges of the glass near the weather stripping IS pulled away in an akward manner. none of my belongings were taken and no noticeable cause as to why it shattered. again, simply parked in my driveway in roanoke,tx. through my own investigating, I have found that this IS a common occurrence in all year models of scion tcs. I just hope that toyota takes this into consideration moving forward. lets see what the insurance and dealership have to say. *js

My daughter was travelling at about 50 mph when the sunroof exploded. thankfully she did not lose control of the automobile. I called scion and they said there were no other reports of this happening. I had to go through my insurance carrier and at this time I am waiting for the part to have this roof put back on the car.

I constantly have people stopping me to tell me that I have a back up light out. When I decided to replace the back up light, I found that there IS only one. Even though there are two lenses, there IS only one back up light. Therefore, if one burns out, I have no back up lights. It IS also very difficult to see backing up at night. I was told by the dealership that in japan, they only use one back up light and on the 2011 models they only came with one. In my opinion, this IS a safety issue on many levels and we, as car owners should not have to flip the bill to get an additional back up lamp installed. There are after market kits available to do this. But, it involves cutting in to the wiring harness. State inspection laws say that back up lights need to work. How did they get away with this? *tr

Since I've bought my car, at every car start up there IS a noise or a rattle that IS briefly audible for about 1 second then stops. When the vehicle IS started again, the noise IS no longer there. This only happens at vehicle start up. It sounds something similar to a winding noise. The engine in my vehicle IS the exact same engine in the 2011 toyota camry, 2ar-fe. A tsb has been filed for the camry however a tsb has not been issued for the scion tc. My current mileage IS 29800. I recommend a tsb be filed for the scion tc 2.5L 2ar-fe so I and others with this problem could repair our vehicles. tsb for camry: tsb number: tsb-0146-10 nhtsa number: 10034924 tsb date: june 9, 2010 date added to file: february 1, 2011. *tr

The second time this happened to my vehicle I was driving on the freeway at 7:00am on 2/6/12 on the 215 s. Going around 75mph. The accelerator pedal floored all the way down as if someone had their foot on it. I panicked and had no idea what to do but press the brakes. As I pressed the brakes the car jerked me around. I noticed cars in front of me starting to slow down as I was entering traffic. By that time my car was going 100mph on its own because I had removed my feet from the petals. I last minute reacted and put my foot under the petal and propped it up myself and it immediately slowed down. When I took it to the toyota dealership in san bernardino they told me there was nothing wrong with it and I had to pick it up. I was very upset that they were not taking me seriously only because I was not in an accident. I did not feel safe and returned the car to them after having to pay them some money. I asked what they would do with the car and they said they would resell it. When I showed concern for the next owners safety they told me "it IS not your problem anymore" I was very dissapointed because I have been a loyal toyota customer since the day I turned 18 and have only bought toyotas. I still can not beleive that they will resell it the way it IS after they know what has happened to it not once but 2 times before, it IS only a matter of time before it happens to that car again. I am pregnant and am very thankful that I reacted on time and was able to prop the petal back into place if I hadnt I have no doubt in my mind that me and my baby could have got really hurt not to mention the other drivers around me. Please contact toyota and have them do further tests on the vehicle before it results fatal once again it IS not the first time this has happened to toyota. ( also, I had no floor mats in my car at the time of the incident). *tr

I have a 2011 scion tc and shortly after my purchase noticed only one reverse light works. I found out that this was how scion manufactured all their 2011 scion tc's. The thing that really throws me off IS that it has the aesthetic appearance of two reverse lights but only one works. I can't tell you how many close calls I've had backing out of a parking spot and almost got hit by a passing car because they aren't able to see my reverse light. Not to mention, pedestrians. This IS a huge safety hazard. It's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt because of this. *tt

- 10132743Tech Tip: Starting with the 2010 Model Year, Scion began a gradual transition to the use of synthetic 0w20 viscosity engine oil. There are multiple benefits of this oil including: Reduced friction and wear on engine surfaces, Improved fuel economy, Reduction in waste oil stream (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals), Reduced maintenance cost (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals). Due to the improved performance and durability of 0w20 synthetic oil, Scion has extended the oil change intervals to 10,000 mile for vehicles that require this oil (except the FR-S). With this change, the following should be noted: Only Scion vehicles in which 0w20 oil is mandatory have been approved for extended oil change intervals. Vehicles in which 0w20 is an option to 5w20 (or 5w30) will continue to require 5,000 mile change intervals, even if 0w20 oil is used. In the case of vehicles with 10,000 mile oil change intervals, the 5,000 mile service interval has not been eliminated. The traditional 5,000 mile maintenance procedures (such as tire rotation) will continue to be required, and the fluid levels (including engine oil) will need to be checked and adjusted at this time. If the vehicle operation meets the standard criteria for "Special Operating Conditions" such as: driving off-road, on dirt roads, towing a trailer, making repeated short trips under 32 degrees F, or extensive idling, the engine oil must be replaced at 5,000 mile intervals, regardless of oil used. exception is FR-S, where the oil must be replaced every 3,750 miles, under "Special Operating Conditions."

- 10132070All Scion models may include side airbags as optional equipment. Scion does NOT recommend replacement of original seat covers with non-Scion leather or other seat cover materials on vehicles due to the following: Seat covers NOT recommended by Scion may affect side airbag performance, in general or in part, during an accident. Modifications that negatively affect side airbag performance can result in severe occupant injuries. Seat covers are an integral part of this safety system. Replacing fabric seat covers with non-Scion leather or other seat cover materials may compromise the effectiveness of this safety system.
