I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. AND I GOT ANOTHER LETTER TODAY. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES FOR NO REASON.
AT RANDOM TIMES ALL OF THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND OTHER LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATE. IT ALSO SEEMS TO GET HARDER TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND DRUM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND POSSIBLY AN AXLE OR SPINDLE. FOR A CAR BOUGHT NEW IN 2008 WITH ONLY 42,000 MILES THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT. I AM CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HAVING A WHEEL COME OFF. THE DEALER WANTS A BUNCH OF MONEY TO FIX IT. UNHAPPY TOYOTA OWNER. *TR
THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE ONLY PLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THERE IS NOT A REVERSE LIGHT VISIBLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH PEDESTRIANS AND VEHICLES. *TR I HAVE NOTICED THE NEWER MODELS HAVE FIXED THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND HAVE PLACED REVERSE LIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED. THIS DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED/FIXED ON THESE MODELS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT MY DEALER AND SCION CORPORATE SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY CONCERNS, WITH NO RESPONSE.
08 SCION HEAD LIGHTS ARE NOT VISIBLE AFTER 75 FT. ( LOW BEAMS) COMPLETE DARKNESS AFTER THAT LIMIT. SERIES OF CRACK WIND SHIELDS ALL STARTING AT THE BOTTOM. *TR
