PURCHASE PRE-CERTIFIED/PRE-OWNED SCION TOYOTA, 2007, WITH 40,000 MILES ON MAY 12, 2010 AND ON MAY 25, 2010 OIL LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK, LOST POWER AND CONTROL OF CAR ON BUSY RAINY ROAD AND CAR STALLED, PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK. BURNING SMELL AND BRAKES & STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. UPDATED 06/03/10*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP WITH SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE. UPDATED IVOQ 06/07/10*JB
ON DECEMBER 15, 2008 I PARKED MY CAR OUTSIDE OF A SHOP IN MD AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF RETURNING, I SAW WHITE, ELECTRICAL SMOKE RISING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. DURING THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. AS I WALKED TO MY VEHICLE SEVERAL WITNESSES AND THE MALL SECURITY HAD ARRIVED AND WERE READY WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. I OPENED MY HOOD AND SUDDENLY THE ENTIRE ENGINE BURNED IN FLAMES AND ALMOST BURNED SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF. THIS INCIDENT DID NOT BURN THE VEHICLE BUT ONLY THE ENGINE AND IT WAS REPORTED TO TOYOTA/SCION WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF THE FIRE. TOYOTA DID VERY LITTLE TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE AND OVER 20 DAYS LATER, WHILE MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY, SENT ME A LETTER SAYING "THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT FROM A MANUFACTURE DEFECT". THEY DID NOT GIVE A REASON FOR THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE...
