I am writing to report significant safety concerns regarding my 2008 Scion [include model, e.g., tC or xB]. After purchasing the vehicle, I discovered multiple serious mechanical and structural defects that make the car unsafe to operate on public roads. 1. Suspension/Struts – The struts are severely worn and are causing premature and uneven tire wear. This creates a major risk of tire blowout or loss of control while driving. 2. Motor Mount – The engine mount is missing screws and bolts, which results in excessive engine movement. This could lead to engine damage or failure while in motion. 3. Alignment – The vehicle’s alignment is completely off, causing the car to pull while driving and further worsening tire wear and handling. 4. Brakes and Rotors – The brakes are nearly nonfunctional, and the rotors are warped and damaged, severely reducing stopping power and increasing the risk of a crash. 5. License Plate Mount – The vehicle has no designated place to mount a rear tag/license plate, which makes it illegal to drive and difficult to comply with state requirements. 6. Missing Headlight – One headlight is entirely missing, significantly reducing visibility at night and making the vehicle a danger to myself and others Fuel System – The fuel system is contaminated and requires flushing. This is causing performance issues, engine hesitation, and raises concerns about potential engine damage or stalling. I have been quoted over $2,500 in repairs just to bring the vehicle to a safe operating condition by 4 mechanics I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this matter and determine whether these issues represent a pattern of neglect, safety violations, or improper sales practices, especially if other owners have reported similar problems. Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.

I just purchased my scion xb in january 2019 and within three weeks I had the oil light flashing so I took it to get an oil change at midtown toyota in chicago. Within a few weeks I noticed that my oil light started flashing again so I checked motor oil and came to find out that I didn't have any oil. I called midtown toyota where I had my car serviced and asked him if my vehicle had a recall as far as the oil problem that I was having? he said yes there was a recall on my vehicle, however the recall had expired in january 2018. Now I've had the car. now I've only had the car for two months which I'm financing and the service department told me that I will have to pay out-of-pocket for this car to get that recall fixed. I do not feel that it's fair for any dealer I do not feel that it's fair for any dealership to sell a vehicle that has recalls and that have not been taken care of by the previous owners in the past. IS there anything that toyota can do for me to get this re-car fixed free of charge as I am done new owner of this vehicle?

On 1/11/19 I took my 2008 scion xb to toyota one of oakland for 150,000 mile service (my mileage was 104,809 at the time.) at the appointment, I explained I noticed my car using more oil than usual. I had the 100,000 mile service completed on 8/10/18 and noticed I had to add additional oil to the engine since then, approximately 3 to 4 quarts. The weekend of 11/11/18, I noticed the oil was low when I checked the level, but the oil light never came on to notify me. The technician told me that toyota had an excessive oil extended warranty which expired last year and asked me if I was notified by toyota. I had not received any information regarding the extended warranty. I had been notified several times by mail and even a phone call regarding the takata air bag recall and the TRD brake kit recall but never about the excessive oil issue until told by the technician. The technician suggested I call toyota customer service and maybe they would offer some consideration since I was never notified by toyota. I called and spoke with two representatives, both very nice but would not offer any assistance with the excessive oil extended warranty, since I had no issues until now and the warranty was over. I reviewed the toyota website at https://www.toyoheadquarters.com and found a letter that had allegedly been sent out to all owners of vehicles with excessive oil consumption issues. I never received this letter. I also found the toyota excessive oil consumption class action lawsuit dating back to 2011 and they had issued a tsb which again I never heard about until now. I have consistently been taking my scion to toyota for regular services and never was it reported to me. had I known excessive oil was an issue, I would have been alerted to pay attention to the oil level in my car. Since the oil light never went off, I don't know how long my car has been needing more oil.

My scion xb 2008 model was recalled a couple years ago for excessive oil consumption. And I went twice for service at the toyota of naperville, I was told to come back after a certain amount of miles traveled, so that they could recall the car that obviously had a problem with consuming oil. This was impossible to appease due to the distance of my work from my home. I have to travel 30 miles a day. I have been rejected due to that, because I was over about 11-13 miles each time. In consequence of those events, I put oil in the car every week so that I could keep the engine running. Despite my efforts, the engine seized right after I paid off the car. I feel like I was swindled by the dealership, and the least they can do IS replace my engine. I need a car to make it to work to provide for my family of 5 and the way toyota has treated my issue has been unsatisfactory at best. Thank you for your consideration.

Takata recall on wednesday, october 19, 2017 at 7:40am, I was driving by myself south bound on alabama street in houston, texas. This street IS a two-lane street on each side. I was aware that I was abiding by the speed limit, going around 25-30 miles, because I had just left a stopped traffic light and was heading into school zone that had a flashing warning light. another driver, driving south bound on a cross street of live oak street, ran the stop sign at high speed and crashed into me on the drivers' side of the car. I had seen the car coming and tried to swerve away to the right to not hit her but she was going so fast I could not avoid her. the other driver admitted it was her fault both to myself, the police officer who arrived on the scene and in the accident report. The other drivers insurance has claimed full liability to the accident. the airbag in my car, the 2008 scion xb, did not deploy at all. As you can see in the documentation, it was a direct hit to the driver's side door and was extensive. The damage was so extensive I could not open the door and had to get out of the car on the other side. If I had not been wearing my seat belt, I would have been severally injured. I do not understand why the airbag did not deploy I did have to go to the hospital for an examination but was cleared that I had not suffered any major trauma to the head or neck.

- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
