This complaint is about other cars affecting me while I’m driving at night. Around 50% of oncoming traffic is using dangerously bright headlights. It is so bright that it’s physically painful to my eyes and leaves a blind spot in my field of vision that lasts for several minutes after each encounter. The head lights are so bright that when highbeams are switched off manually, there is barely a difference. They are so bright when they are NOT on high beams that the turn signals are very difficult or literally impossible to see. Some amount of vehicles are using automatic highbeams that do not adapt properly. They are sometimes on full high beam brightness during daylight hours (and are just as painful to look at in daylight). They do not register my vehicle’s headlights or approaching traffic so instead of automatically dimming, I am being blinded by full high beams. Sometimes flashing my highbeams will trigger them to dim, but their vehicle has to be pretty close to mine for it to work. Their automatic highbeams do not dim when they are behind my car, causing my rear view and side mirrors to be completely unusable. Flipping the rear view mirror does not help. While sitting at a stoplight at an intersection, vehicles opposite to mine often maintain their highbeams and are too far from mine for flashing my highbeams at them to do anything. Some of the bright headlights (not on high beams) I believe are LED retrofit and this is probably why turn signals are barely or not at all visible with some vehicles. Some of these suspected LED retrofits are as bright as the ones on a fire truck or ambulance. I saw them side by side tonight, prompting me to finally write this complaint. This problem needs to be regulated for the safety of everyone, especially night drivers and cars that sit lower to the ground than SUV/trucks. My windshield and my eye level is at the same height as an SUV’s headlights. Maybe a lumens test as part of the yearly inspection would help.

The rear axel beam on the vehicle cracked on the drivers side. It separated at a weld and caused the entire wheel assemble to lean inward (extreme negative camber) and rub against the wheel well. Fortunately I was off the highway when the incident occurred and barely made it safely to my work place. If this had happened at a greater speed I fear for what may have happened to myself and others. It is UNKNOWN if this problem has been reproduced in other circumstances. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer or police. It was inspected by an independent service provider (mechanic). It is available for additional inspection if needed. There was no warning, message or any other symptoms prior to the issue occurring.

Noticed right rear tire was leaning inward. Found the rear axle assembly cracked. We then had it welded and checked the other side. Nothing was visible, but was informed that assembly could be rusting from inside out. Several weeks later, while traveling the highway, car started making noise and had a hot tire smell. Pulled over and left rear tire had leaned in and cut the tire all the way around. Left side had also cracked. We feel toyota should replace the entire rear of our car.

The front passenger seat airbag shows that the airbag & seat belts was deployed (without an accident ). The manufacturing and dealer declines coverage for this defect. The cost to fix this issue IS on the vehicle owners burden and I do not believe it IS fair if it a defect from the manufacturing. The sensor lights showing the airbags were deployed shall be at manufacturers cost not consumer. The sensor lights are on at all times,stationary, in motion , except . I when the car IS turn off. I decline the diagnostic fee of $150.00 just to see what was wrong plus additional charge if any to fix it.

This IS the fourth incident, and the fourth time I have brought it to the dealer who cannot find or duplicate the issue. I hit the brakes, and instead of slowing or stopping the car, the car accelerates. one time, it damaged a tire, this time it happened while merging on a highway and nearly caused a dangerous collision. this last incident, I was traveling around 30 mph. the two times before, I had been attempting to come to a stop from 25-30 mph, and the first time I had been traveling between 30-35 mph when I attempted to break to avoid another vehicle switching lanes. Toyota didn't even bother to find out what was wrong.

I was driving and all of a sudden the check engine would come on and the vehicle would start shaking and slow down for maybe a couple of seconds then it would drive normal, sometimes either the same day or in a couple of days the check engine light would shut off and vehicle would drive normal again, this happened about 4/5 times, I took it to a mechanic, but when I did the check engine was off and he found nothing wrong with it, (not really sure if he even did a diagnostic on it) he stated maybe it was just a temporary gliche. This sunday 9/6/2015, I was driving, the check engine came on and the vehicle started to shake but this time it felt it was about to stop, this IS happening while I was driving it was scary becuase a person driving behind me at 40mph does not know that the vehicle in front of them might come to a full stop and they may crash into me.. Very scary.. Luckily there was not a lot of traffice but still it was very scary. This time it took longer to get back to a normal speed I had to circle around, stop the car, hit the gas a little to see if that would help and it did but I was only 5 minutes away from my home. this IS very scary especially if your driving in a freeway or in a busy street. I want to know IS this a toyota scion problem and IS this happening to other scion xd 2008 drivers and what's causing this?

I had been hearing clunking noise from right front wheel for a few weeks, that seemed to be getting louder over time. Most prominent during braking or hitting potholes. father looked at wheel while I backed out of driveway and noticed wheel shifting forward/backward within the wheel well about an inch when starting and stopping. Took vehicle to local tire shop and was told bold attaching lower control arm to body had corroded and broken off. Suggested I take car to dealer for repair, and mentioned there was a tsb issued for this problem that extended the warranty to 7 years/100,000 miles. Dealer repaired vehicle at my cost ($422), since the warranty has expired (mileage). I believe this part should last the life of the vehicle. Luckily my father noticed the wheel movement or the wheel may have come off at highway speed. *js

- 10111360SSB: On some vehicles, when Rapgard is removed, the paint may have a stained appearance. These stains appear to be under the clear coat (repainting this area is not necessary). The stain patterns are usually under wrinkles in the Rapgard. These wrinkles sometimes trap water and cause the paint to stain from the trapped moisture, especially on horizontal surfaces, such as the hood, roof, and trunk. Stains can be removed by heating the stained surface to remove the trapped moisture.
