“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SCION XD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,500.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SCION XD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY.

“WHEN I TRIED TO ROLL THE PASSENGER WINDOW DOWN, A PLUME OF SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE MASTER CONTROL PANEL. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING IT, BUT THE BUTTON FROZE INTO PLACE. I TOOK MY SCION INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR 2 RECALL NOTICE REPAIRS (DRIVER'S SEAT RAILING AND INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY) AND MENTIONED THE WINDOW CONTROL PANEL PROBLEM AND MY CONCERN AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A RISK OF A FIRE. THE SERVICE TECH SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL? I AM CONCERNED AS TO WHETHER OR NOT MY CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE AND AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE NEWER MODEL SCION XDS? *TR”

“Drove car and heard loud noise issuing from the passenger side rear. Upon viewing the wheel was angled in at the top. After removing the wheel I found the rear crossmember subframe axle had a complete break in the weld holding the angle from the straight part of the beam to the wheel and suspension plate. After going online to see if similar issues happen on the same side of the vehicle, I found many reports of weld failures on the same side at the same joint. This is an EXTREMELY dangerous weld failure--if it had happened during highway travel the potential for catastrophic injury or death is high, in my opinion. Please investigate other reports to the NTSB about this make and model, and please search model years on or about 2007-2012 as other scion owners have had the same issue. This is a one owner car, we purchased it new in 2009. The opposite weld is also showing signs of stress, but not broken or cracked.”

“MAJOR LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 20 TIMES THE PAST FEW WEEKS. LUCKILY, EACH TIME, I MANAGED TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING. TURNING OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES RETURNED IT TO NORMAL OPERATION. SOME TIMES, THE ENGINEWAS 'RACING' WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED BACK ON. AND OTHER TIMES, I HAD TO PERFORMMULTIPLE OFF-ON CYCLING OF THE ENGINE BEFORE NORMAL BEHAVOIR WAS RESTORED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS BEHAVIOR ALSO OCCURRED A FEW TIMES LAST YEARBUT SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT REMAIN ON, I WASN'T SURE THAT THE DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT THE RECENT HOT WEATHER WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROBLEM TO OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ACTON TOYOTA FOR 7/20/2013. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING CAUSED BY A FAILED THROTTLE BODY AND PARTS ARE ON ORDER. THEY SAID THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE $1300. SO, I'M NOW RESEARCHING WHETHER THIS DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM OF THE TOYOTA ECONOMIC LOSS SETTLEMENT THAT RECEIVED FINAL APPROVAL BY THE FEDERAL COURT ON…”
