2005 Scion TC problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SCION TC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE SUN ROOF GLASS EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,500.”

“THE FRAME AND EVERY METAL COMPONENT ON THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR INCLUDING THE FRAME RUSTS TERRIBLY. THE REST IS COMPLETELY CORRODING AWAY AND BREAKING OFF. EVEN TH METAL STRAP HOLDING MY GAS TANK ON IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND IF I PUT N PRESSURE IT CHIPS AWAY. I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS UNTIL I WENT TO HAVE MY EXHAUST DONE AND WAS ABLE TO LOOK UNDER THE CAR.”

“1. I believe my airbags deployed pre-maturely with a soft impact to another vehicle. There was no damage to the other vehicle and no police report needed to be filed. There is a minor damage to my front bumper. 2. The airbags inflated on me, but no medical attention was required. 3. I have not confirmed or reproduced this problem with a professional. 4. My car has not been inspected nor reported to my insurance agency as my coverage only covers liability. 5. No symptoms prior to airbags deploying pre-maturely *Because of the pre-mature deployment of my airbags I am unable to afford the airbags to be reset, as doing so would cost more than the kbb estimated value of my car.”

“NOW FEELING COMPELLED TO DOCUMENT THIS ISSUE ONLY BECAUSE IT IS THE 2ND FAILURE OF THESE TIRES. FAILURE IN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE SIDE WALL BUBBLE WAS SEEN AS I ENTERED MY SCION TC 2005 THAT WAS ON 1/30/13 MILEAGE 57786. THAT WOULD MAKE IT 7400 MILES FOR THE FIRST FAILURE. THE ORIGINAL TIRES PURCHASED (ALL 4) 12/10/11 MILEAGE 50320. NOW AFTER ALMOST A YEAR THE 2ND FAILURE OF THESE TIRES INSIDE WALL WHERE TREAD BELT MEETS SIDE WALL HAS PEELED OFF. THIS WAS ON A DAY WHEN WE HAD OUR 2 GRANDSONS IN THE CAR. MILEAGE NOW 64395. DIFFERENT TIRE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. SO THAT IS 14K ON THIS TIRE THAT FAILED. AS YOU CAN SEE WE ARE NOT HIGH MILEAGE DIVERS. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WOULD BE WHAT IF THIS FAILED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH? SOUNDS LIKE THE ISSUE FIRESTONE HAD SOME YEARS AGO. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR, BAD ROADS NOT A FACTOR, THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR, NO OUTSIDE CONDITION OR OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50+ YEARS. WE WILL CONTACT THE TIRE MANUFACTURE ALSO. *TR THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A THIRD TIRE FAILURE, WHERE THE BEAD ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE CAME OFF. UPDATED 12/09/14”

“I PURCHASED A RED 2005 SCION TC FOR MY DAUGHTER IN FEBRUARY, 2019 FROM TOYOTA AUTO NATION IN DAVIE, FL. THEY HAD IT PRICED IN GOOD CONDITION, SO I EXPECTED TO GET SOME USE OUT OF IT. I PAID ALMOST $6,000. MONTH LATER IT OVERHEATED ON THE HIGHWAY (595) AND MY DAUGHTER HAD TO PULL OVER LATE AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE SITUATION FOR A TEEN. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THEIR SERVICE STATION AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A PROBLEM, THAT COST ME $600. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS COMPANY WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN ANY DAMAGE UNDER THE HOOD. SHAME ON THEM FOR SELLING ME A CAR THAT BROKE DOWN IN ONE MONTH. I HAVE CALLED THEM AND THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH THE PAYMENT. IT IS 'AS IS' I CALLED AND TEXT THE SALES GIRL AND NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK OR RESPONSE. FINALLY PUT A BAD REVIEW ON THEIR WEBSITE AND RECEIVED AN E-MAIL TO CONTACT MANAGER TO HELP WITH THE SITUATION, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT WAS AN AUTOMATED EMAIL AND AGAIN TOLD 'TOO BAD'. IT IS NOW JULY AND YET AGAIN IT BROKE DOWN ON MY DAUGHTER AS SHE WAS AT THE GAS STATION. IT WOULD NOT START UP AFTER SHE TURNED IT OFF. TRIED TO JUMP IT AND NOTHING. ONCE AGAIN HEADED TO GO TO…”
