2007 Scion Tc

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AROUND THE CLOCK BURNED OUT FOR NO REASON. THE CAR IS NOT PUT TOGETHER WELL EVERYTHING SOUNDS AS IF THE FRAME WILL SEPARATE FROM THE CAR. THE CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM, IF IS REALLY LOUD AN SHAKES THE CAR REALLY BAD. THE ABS IN THE CAR RESPONDS PREMATURELY WHICH IT IS REALLY LOUD. THE SEAT BELTS IN THE CAR DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SEAT HOOK IN THE CAR AND IT PREMATURE TIGHTS WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT SO YOU HAVE TO UNBUCKLE AN RE-BUCKLE OFTEN IN THE CAR. THE ENGINE FAN TIMING IS OFF AS IF IT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND IT IS EXTREMELY LOUD. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SCION TC. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE CONTACT OPENED THE SUNROOF AND THE GLASS SHATTERED. THE CONTACT REFERRED TO RECALL # 05V483000 (VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE GLASS TO SHATTER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 1,109 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

DRIVING 45 MPH AT NIGHT, HEARD A LOUD CRACK, PULLED OVER AND FOUND THE WIND DEFLECTOR HAD SHATTERED(SEEMS LIKE IT WAS STRUCK BY A SMALL ROCK?). FRAGMENTS OF DEFLECTOR GLASS WERE MISSING, BUT THANKFULLY IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANY CARS BEHIND WERE HIT WITH THE FRAGMENTS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER A WEEK WHEN BEING IGNORED BY EMAIL AND PHONE, BOTH SENT ME IN A LOOP(PARTS DEPT TELLS ME IT'S COVER UNDER WARRANTY AND SENDS ME TO SERVICE DEPT, SERVICE DEPT SAID IT IS NOT COVER IN THE WARRANTY AND SENDS ME BACK TO THE PARTS DEPT), THEY WERE TRYING TO IGNORED THE ISSUE, AND DIDN'T BOTHER TO TRY AND HELP FIX THE FAILURE. SAID THE RECALL AFFECTED 05-06 MODELS ONLY SO ANY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH 07 IS NOT COVERED. CALLED A 2ND DEALERSHIP ABOUT COSTS ESTIMATES, SAME LOOP. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET HOLD OF THE INFORMATION TO FIX THIS, EG. PARTS AND LABOR COST. *JB

CAR PURCHASED WITH 61 MILES ON 2/18/2007. DURING DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY ENCOUNTERED A PIECE OF WOOD, APPROX. 2"X4"X12". UNAVOIDABLY RAN OVER WOOD AND GOT A FLAT TIRE. TOOK VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP ON 2/25/07 WITH 560 MILES ON IT AND THEY SAW NO TIRE DAMAGE, NO VEHICLE DAMAGE, BUT THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED ALONG THE SEAM. TOYOTA OF EL CAJON, CA DENIED WARRANTY COVERAGE SAYING IT WAS DUE TO AN IMPACT, EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTEDLY NOTICED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN THE WHEEL. VEHICLE IS A 07 SCION TC. *NM

WENT TO OPEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHEN I HEARD A POPPING SOUND. TURNED TO SEE THE HATCHBACK GLASS CRACK AND SPIDER WITH A COLLAPSE IN THE CENTER OF THE WINDOW. TEMPERATURE WAS 57 DEGREES AT 7 PM. DEFROST, A/C AND HEATING WERE NOT BEING USED AT THE TIME. NO PROJECTILES OR BULLETS WERE FOUND INSIDE CAR. CRACK STARTED AT TOP LEFT CORNER, MADE ITS WAY ACROSS THE TOP OF THE HATCH AND THEN CRACK DOWN INTO THE CENTER OF WINDOW. NO CRACKS OR CHIPS HAD BEEN NOTICEABLE TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. CAR WAS PURCHASED MID AUGUST AND HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE. HAVE FOUND SIMILAR INSTANCES ON WEBSITE FORUMS WITH OTHER TOYOTA MODELS AS WELL AS SCION TC. *JB

THE 2005 AND 2006 SCION TC WERE RECALLED FOR A DEFECT IN THE WIND DEFLECTOR WHERE A PIECE OF DEBRIS HIT THE WIND DEFLECTOR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IT WOULD SHATTER. I JUST BOUGHT A 2007 SCION TC LAST TUESDAY AND IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND I DID NOT EVEN SEE ANYTHING HIT MY CAR BUT I HEARD SOMETHING, AND THEN THERE WAS GLASS COMING INTO MY CAR THROUGH THE SUNROOF. I HAVE CONTACTED SCION AND THEY HAD SAID MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS NOT A WARRANTED PART. I SHOULD CONTACT THE PARTS DIRECTOR AND HE HAS NOT CALLED ME SINCE. *JB
