Toyota Scion Tc 2008 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10201880

TOYOTA SCION TC 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 18, 2007.TOYOTA SCION TC 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . 1) this is not a failure due to an event but a design flaw on the scion tc with electronic throttle "drive-by-wire". the throttle response is delayed by 1/2 to 1 full second upon laying foot on the accelerator pedal. 2) as a result of this design flaw, the car is very difficult to control when driving because the car reacts too slowly in counteracting any hazardous road condition one may face. when the situation calls for acceleration, the car does not respond to the driver stepping on the accelerator. the car begins to react 1/2 to 1 second later which can be crucial time wasted to avoid an accident due to the lag in throttle response. for instance, i was forced to apply my brakes abruptly due to the traffic in front of my car. i immediately saw the vehicle behind me approach me at a faster than normal pace because the driver reacted late. i was forced to depress the accelerator slightly to make more room for the vehicle behind me to brake and therefore reducing the impact of our cars or to avoid it completely. however, this was unavoidable because my car did not respond fast enough to my acceleration. luckily, my rear bumper suffered no visible damages. *jb.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Toyota Scion Tc 2008 problem was reported in DALY CITY, CA.

Toyota Scion Tc 2008 Tires Review #10203709

TOYOTA SCION TC 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 21, 2007.TOYOTA SCION TC 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TIRES . as i was changing lanes, i veered a little far onto the left shoulder and hit the rumble strips on the shoulder of the road. i turned a slight right to get the vehicle back into the left lane and my tires "broke loose". the tire separated from the rim, and i slid into a horizontal position, across both lanes, on the rim. i then tried to steer the vehicle back into the left lane, however my car turned a 180 and went into a forward horizontal motion. i then hit a bump or something in the road and my car flipped and went airborne. my car made a complete turn in the air, smashed on its side and then landed on its wheels, on the median. it then bounced and smashed into the metal poles of the median. my car was totaled and miraculously i have very few minor injuries. i am concerned that the tires on the scion tc are so low-profile. i am confused how this could happen on a brand new car. on a 2008 vehicle, i should be able to go over rumble strips and easily maneuver my way back into my lane. the tires should not break loose on a brand new car. i purchased the car 3 weeks ago and had roughly 770 miles on it. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 770 miles.

Toyota Scion Tc 2008 Structure Body Roof And Pillars Review #10239201

TOYOTA SCION TC 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 17, 2008.TOYOTA SCION TC 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS . while driving on the beltway (495 north), my scion tc moonroof shattered and the glass fell on me and on the inside of the car. my moonroof was fully opened at the time. neither the deflector nor the stationary moonroof (which is located above the backseat) shattered but only the retractable moonroof. there was no impact from inside the car that caused the moonroof to shatter nor did i hear or see any rock or debris hit the outside of the car before it shattered and exploded into the car. i was driving on the highway and heard a loud explosion of glass which was falling all around me. i pulled over to figure out what happened and then i immediately called the salesperson who sold me the car. i purchased the car new in may 2008 from laurel toyota/carmax. this was the only time that this occurred. i took the car to the dealership the next day. the service manager looked at the moonroof and told me it was an insurance matter. he never asked me what happened; he only looked at the moonroof. i was very concerned about the safety issue of having a moonroof explode for no reason so i insisted on seeing the general manager of carmax laurel. he showed concern and wanted to rule out any safety hazard so he said he would have a toyota representative come and look at the car to see if there was a defect. the toyota representative is scheduled to look at my car sometime today but i was told by carmax that i was not allowed to meet with the rep because he only deals with the dealership and not the customer. i told them that was unfortunate because the rep would not be able to make a determination without speaking to the person who had a first-hand account of what happened. i am waiting to hear from toyota/scion about their decision to address the safety issue concerning my 2008 scion tc. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5045 miles.

TOYOTA SCION TC 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 11, 2009.TOYOTA SCION TC 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . i bought a new 2008 toyota scion. when my car broke down while driving, i had it towed to my mechanic. he suggested the engine was bad and would not touch it. then i had it towed to the dealers. its' engine died just short of the warranty miles. first the dealer tells me outright that in this economy there was no way the company would replace the engine. to add insult to injury, they called me to say that there's no oil in the tank ( i just had a recent oil change the month before) and then they said there was water in the oil tank and needed my permission to open it and charge me a $300.00 fee. if that wasn't the problem, then i wouldn't be charged. finally, after weeks without my car, they tell me it needs a new engine and i needed to pay $7,000 for it on a car i still owe $16,000 for. they say perhaps if i showed the receipts that the car was maintained, then maybe they would work out something, but not likely. i gathered all the receipts that i could find and they refused to acknowledge the handwritten ones. the engine had to have been defective to die under 36,000 miles. i have been without my car (dismantled at the dealers) since sept, 2009. i cannot afford a new engine let alone with the car payments $550.00 each month plus insurance that i still have to pay with no car. i don't believe that any engine should die that young with maintenance. i have bought new cars over 40 years and none of them ever had a bad engine that died. and, on average i keep my cars for 5 yrs with approximately 60,000 miles on them. toyota is being unfair. they talked down to me because i am female and older. i am not stupid. they told me to go ahead and take them to court. this is no way to treat any customer. *tr.Mileage was 35800 miles.

TOYOTA SCION TC 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 31, 2012.TOYOTA SCION TC 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE . during the normal course of opening the rear hatch, the entire panel snapped off due to plastic clips that have become brittle. i have attempted to fix it but no fix seems to be permanent and, through additional research, i have seen that this is a common issue with most tcs and is clearly a design flaw. in order to replace the hatch release, the cost is upwards of $350. the handle just broke again today. with the number of issues surrounding this part, there should be a recall by toyota/scion as they are responsible for the inadequate hatch release parts. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40000 miles.

TOYOTA SCION TC 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 24, 2013.TOYOTA SCION TC 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE . on february 24, 2013, i was opening my trunk like normal and the entire plastic piece snapped in half and dangled from the back of my car via the wiring that powers the lights above the license plate. basically, the hydraulics that is supposed to open the trunk is worthless and doesn't even pick up the weight of the trunk until it is two-thirds of the way open. i rarely use my trunk because i usually just toss everything into the back seat. i would say that after owning my car for almost five years, i've maybe opened the trunk 50 times, if that. toyota issued a service bulletin stating they know that the piece has extreme potential to break but refuses to issue a recall on the piece. for the thousands of scion users outside their warranty period, we are faced with the cost of ensuring the safety of ourselves and fellow drivers because of a poorly manufactured, plastic garnish designed by toyota as a means to enter the trunk. my piece is currently duct taped back together and covers the brake lights above the piece. other owners face the issue of the lights above their license plate not working which makes them in violation of traffic laws that required an illuminated license plate. a toyota service bulletin states that the part needs to be replaced with an ?improved garnish? as detailed in service bulletin s-sb-0001-10 dated january 6, 2010. as of january 6, 2010, i was still in my warranty period with scion and could have had the piece replaced without the hassle of going back and forth with scion customer service. if toyota issued a service bulletin for the piece, they must realize the shoddy engineering of the garnish. moreover, i firmly believe that scion and toyota should recall the trunk garnish in order to ensure that scion owners across the united states won't be faced with the same headache and potential dangers. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 46000 miles.

TOYOTA SCION TC 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 21, 2014.TOYOTA SCION TC 2008, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with ENGINE . my vehicle is almost 6 years old. it was brought brand new in june 2008. i've only taken it to an authorized dealerships since purchase for regular maintenance. the miles currently on my car is 70,775 and i was scheduled for my next maintenance check at 71,443 per the dealership maintenance sticker. prior to this event, there was no indication that anything was wrong with the vehicle. as i was driving down i-95 south in emporia va on 05/21/2014 coming from washington, dc, i experienced engine failure while going the speed limit of 70 mph. i was able to coast safely to the side of the highway after avoiding multiple cars and trucks that almost crashed into me. my car insurance company was called. i was able to get towed to an approved repair shop through my insurance company. the diagnostic from the repair shop determined i would need a new engine due to "whole in the engine block caused by low oil" of which the least expensive was going to cost $4,000. i call the national scion center to report what happened. they advised me to take the car to the closest authorized dealer to have their company look at the vehicle which i did. per the authorized dealerships diagnostic review "the technician found hole in block by cylinder #1, found piston wrist pin in bottom on engine cover, needs new or used engine". when i asked the technician what could have caused this he said the oil levels were very low and that the oil was also very dirty. i called scion to see what they were going to do about it and i was told nothing would be done because the car was over 60,000 miles. i find this very unsettling since the car was in great condition prior to this occurrence and there was so indication something was wrong. like i mentioned, i've only always taken my car to an authorized dealership for maintenance services and i wasn't due for another service check for another 668 miles. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 70775 miles.
