The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Scion XA. The contact stated that while driving through a green light in second gear, another vehicle ran a light from the left and crashed into the driver's side of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's head struck the side window, and the vehicle spun and was able to come to a stop. The Police arrived on the scene; however, a Police report was not filed. The contact received injuries to the ankles, back, and sustained whiplash. Medical attention was sought. The vehicle was able to be driven from the scene; however, the wheel was damaged, causing issues with the alignment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was taken to the dealer 7 times. While the contact’s husband was driving the vehicle, there was a sudden loss of power. The driver was able to coast the vehicle in neutral to a nearby truck stop, and the vehicle was towed to another dealer. The second dealer, Vic Vaughan Toyota of Boerne (31205 Frontage Rd #10, Boerne, TX 78006); diagnosed the vehicle and determined that due to the collision, the engine had shifted, crushing the alternator up against the side of the vehicle. The alternator was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the issues. The failure mileage was unknown.

Symptom: When brakes are applied, car will violently jerk to the left into the path of oncoming traffic. Countersteering to prevent collision results in left front tire skidding with poor braking. Cause: Initially, the suspected cause was a failed right front brake caliper. However, upon investigation, it was found that the ABS braking module was blocking all brake fluid from going to the right front caliper. Solution: ABS braking module must be replaced. Comment: It should be assumed that if one front wheel brake is disabled, then the other could also be disabled without warning resulting in no braking capability at all. On this vehicle, the rear brakes are also controlled by the ABS module.

2006 scion XA The dash light indicator for pass airbag stays on, showing problem with that system. Toyota had a recall and my car was supposedly fixed this problem, only to have same problem again 4 mos past the 1 year warranty on repairs. I contacted toyota...they sent me an email saying they would get back to me, and gave me a case #[XXX]. 5 mos. later had not heard from them...so called them. They said they were sorry but I was past the 1 yr warranty on recall repair. I can't understand why NHTSA allows mfg to do temporary repairs on defective systems, and kick the can down the road until consumer is responsible for further repairs, when it should have be fixed right in the 1st place.

Near 100,000 miles, the airbag light came on and stays on. car has never been in an accident; light just came on one day upon starting it up. I understand that this light can represent an error in crash sensors, air bag system, seat belts, seat occupancy sensor, etc. internet forums say that often one of the wires under the passenger seat has just worked loose. took it to dealer and it was not a loose wire. they say a certain "box" in the srs system IS not working, and the replacement will cost $1300. I note that ~17,000 of these same vehicles were recalled in 2018 for a same/similar issue, but my vin was not included in that recall.

Now the light came on again and they want to charge me $199 to just check it, no repair included. It appears to be an additional airbag defect and I should not have to pay for that.

Could not get the form to pull up, but I need to complain. My 2 kids and I were turning off one side road to turn onto another. Well I didnt want to hit the dog that ran out in front of the car so I dodged the dog. Well I hit a telephone pole and I completely messed up the front end of my car. The airbags never deployed, they should have from where the car hit and how much damage I have done. Luckily no one got hurt but I'm like 100% positive those airbags should have deployed. I did a good $1,000 repair just to get it moving again

Takata recall. why IS the scion xa being excused from the airbag recall, when it most likely has the exact same airbags as the scion xb model? has nhtsa ignored the xa just because it was sold in lesser numbers than the xb? this car has the same engine and transmission in a slightly smaller body.

2006 scion xa check engine light with diagnostic codes: p2401, p043e, p043f, p2419, p2402 indicating "evaporation leak/emission problems." there apparently are service bulletins out on this issue and toyota will not acknowledge that this IS a widespread issue with the xa model. Toyota wants over $700 to repair a known defect and will not help with cost of repair. Toyota IS charging consumers the cost of repairing a defective evaporation system in order to comply with epa standards therefore the nhtsa should issue a recall of the defective product(s) - see tsb #: eg047-06.

Hawaii in the house ...i own a 2006 scion xa and recently the check engine light came on. I had it diagnosed at hilo toyota.."p2401 evaporate leak detection pump control circuit". The charcoal canister and some other parts are ruined due to water leakage. I am one of millions scion owners who now has to pay major parts and labor charges to have this fixed. I live in hawaii and it rains alot here, I find this as a defect and toyota should take the right actions to fix this on going issue. I love my scion but I hate knowing this will re-occur again and again and again... As many posts have paid for new parts. This IS my first time and I payed over $1,000 in repairs for this codes. "Totota" handle this issue already. We are loyal customers, but u guys need to take action. Not every one has a few thousands to fix this on going issue.

Our 19 year old daughter was driving the vehicle on the morning of the accident. she was exiting a shopping center complex and although the vehicle's acceleration pedal was slightly pressed the vehicle would not accelerate and acted as the brakes were depressed in place of the accelerator. the vehicle suddenly lunged forward out of control and would not respond when she applied the brakes. the vehicle spun around headed in the opposite direction striking a tree head on with the passenger side of the vehicle. the problem IS a result of a defective acceleration system which has been denied by toyota. there are no floor mats in the vehicle which could have caused the car to accelerate without her intending to.

Bought a 2006 scion xa that previously had the charcoal canister assembly and fuel filler pipe cover replaced under tsb eg047-06. cel was on when I bought the car, and the codes p043e, p043f, p2401, p2401, p2419 indicated the same components were damaged again. I replaced the components affected by the tsb, which included un updated part number for the fuel tank filler pipe cover holder (77248-52050). after clearing the codes, the car was fine for several thousands of miles until the cel came back on with the same codes. it doesn't make sense to continue replacing the charcoal canister every time these codes reappear. I cannot find any new information to indicate toyota has a permanent fix for this recurring issue, and I haven't come across any alternate fix on the internet that resolves it. I am contemplating some sort of work around to seal the canister and the electrical connections to prevent the water intrusion into the canister, but I also don't want to doing anything that will prevent the canister from functioning properly. I also don't want to ignore the cel in the event the cel stores other codes unrelated to this issue.

While driving my 2006 scion xa westbound I80 utah accident occurred at mile marker 150 while taking a left hand turn passengers front tire encountered black ice sending the car into the cement barrier. Bounced off that cement barrier into the oppisite barrier on the passenger front both were blown out and a frame of the vehicle was collapsed in the vehicle the driver's seat belt failed to lock or engage. Resulting I impacted windshield with forehead cracking it, then as I was coming back into the driver's seat the steering wheel airbag deployed late and resuluting hit me in the left side of jaw resulting I was shot across the car and the right side of my face shattered the passenger side window on to the road. I landed across the gear shift and broke my back as a result. Of the safety systems failing to function properly I was thrown around the car like a rag doll I blew out the mcl in my left knee and suffered three traumatic brain injuries within 30 seconds. Resulting from the crash comatose for 6 hours I have no clear memories for up to 3 months after the accident.
