2006 Scion Tc

I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND ON THE 105 FWY AND WAS KEEPING A SAVE DISTANCE GOING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH SINCE TRAFFIC WAS STOP AND GO, WHEN TRAFFIC STOPPED ON FRONT OF ME. I STARTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES WITH LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE AND COULD NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE ON FRONT OF ME. A FEW MINUTES BEFORE AND PRIOR TO ENTERING THE FREEWAY I HAD FELT SOMETHING SIMILAR ON THE STREET AND THOUGHT IT WASN'T AN ISSUE, HOWEVER THE BRAKES FELT AS IF THEY WERE NOT RESPONDING. THE BRAKES BEGAN TO RESPOND ONCE AGAIN AND I PROCEEDED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I THOUGHT THAT THIS MAY NOT BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THOUGHT OF REPORTING THIS INCIDENT TO MAKE SURE IT'S ADDRESSED FOR FUTURE SCION TC OWNERS. MY CAR IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS AND MY INSURANCE DIDN'T COVER IT. I'M NOW SEEKING FOR AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE SO I CAN CONTINUE MY INTERNSHIP/WORK EXPERIENCE. *TR

AS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY ON WAY TO WORK, I HEARD A SOUND THAT WAS SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT OR EXPLOSION OF SOME KIND. GLASS STARTED TO FLY IN MY FACE AND ALL OVER THE CAR BARELY MISSING MY EYE. IT CUT MY ARM AND HAND. THE INJURY WAS NOT SERIOUS, MY WIFE SAID IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CRASHED WHEN IT HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED THE BOTH THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE CAR AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE. THEY ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED AND I SAID I JUST WANT IT FIXED THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME A GOOD PRICE TO FIX IT, BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. JOHN GOT BACK TO ME A FEW DAYS LATER AND SAID THAT I COULD TAKE IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT FIXED, PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND THEN TOYOTA WOULD THINK ABOUT IT. THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND TRUST THAT A CARS MOONROOF ISN'T GOING TO EXPLODE WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A RARE OCCURANCE. IF A PIECE OF GLASS HAD LANDED IN MY EYE, I WOULD HAVE SURELY GONE BLIND. *TR

TRD SUPERCHARGER WAS BOUGHT AND INSTALLED AT DEALER MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH PRODUCT BLOWN SUPERCHARGER AND ENGINE AND PAID FOR ANOTHER SUPERCHARGER OUT OF POCKET AFTER 7 SUPERCHARGERS AND 5 MOTOR BLOCKS CAR WAS PUT BACK TO STOCK AND WAS NEVER REIMBURSED FOR EITHER SUPERCHARGER AND ITEM WAS DISCONTINUED DUE TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WROTE TO CORPORATE AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO REIMBURSE FOR MY PAID FOR EQUIPMENT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE EQUIPMENT REPAIRED AND EVEN HAD THE CAR FULLY REIMBURSED MINUS DEPRECIATION I'M ONLY ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE 2 UNITS THAT I PAID FOR THAT TOYOTA HAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY SUNROOF OPEN. I HEARD A LOUD POP FOLLOWED BY A PIECE OF THE GLASS DEFLECTOR SHIELD FELL INTO MY VEHICLE, HITTING ME ON THE HEAD. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AT MY SUNROOF AND SAW A SPIDERWEB LIKE CRACK ON THE WIND DEFLECTOR WITH NO POINT OF IMPACT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART AS I AM TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP, SCION'S CORPORATE OFFICE, AND ONLINE. THE RECALL ID IS 50S. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE, AND IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE IN REGARDS TO THE PART, I AM BEING TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE PART. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT AND DO HAVE A CASE NUMBER FOR IT IF NEEDED FOR INVESTIGATION. *TR

I HIT A DEER AND THE HOOD BUSTED, THE BATTERY BUSTED AND THE RADIATOR BUSTED. ROCCO'S COLLISION IN TURNERSVILLE LIED, PROGRESSIVE IN MOUNT LAUREL LIED, COPART IN TRENTON OR GLASSBORO GOT IT FROM A AUTO IN SEWELL NEW JERSEY. THESE 4 PLACES SPUN MY CAR IN A CIRCLE PRETENDING TO FIX IT, WHILE THEY STOLE PARTS AND PRETENDED IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. IT WAS LESS THAN 1000 DOLLARS REPORTED AS $8500 IN DAMAGE. I LOST $17,000 AND GOT PAID $10,300....THEY EVEN STOLE THE DEDUCTIBLE AND FIXED NOTHING. *TR

TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I FELT SOMETHING POP UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE STEERING BOOMERANGED TO THE LEFT, I WAS NOT ABLE TO RECOVER AS IT WAS LIKE IT WAS LOCKED.UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHICH WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR AS IT ACCELERATED . THE CAR CROSSED THE CENTER LINE INTO A RESIDENTIAL YARD HITTING A TREE HEAD ON. I ENDED UP WITH FACIAL, CLAVICLE, RIB, PELVIS AND HIP FRACTURES. THE PHYSICIANS SAY IT WILL BE A YEAR BEFORE I WILL BE ABLE TO WORK AND I MAY END UP WITH A PERMANENT LIMP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 072913 UPDATE: CRASH ON JUNE 5, 2012 RESULTED IN PERMANENT DISABILITY, FOOT DROP, AN "ERECTOR SET" INSIDE MY LEG/HIP/PELVIS, ALWAYS WEARING THE LEG BRACE, DEALING WITH ATROPHY, PAIN/DISCOMFORT, LOSING THE HOUSE, NEED HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE APT, FINANCES SUCK, WILL ALWAYS BE PAYING THE MEDICAL BILLS, CAN'T GO BACK TO WORK (EVER), HAVE ALREADY BECOME A BURDEN TO OTHER TAXPAYERS & THE LAWYER ADVISED NO SUCCESSFUL TORT WAS POSSIBLE AGAINST TOYOTA SCION BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER WITNESS...
