changed from outside lane to inside lane, when I tried to turn right to stay in the middle lane the steering wheel locked sending me into the left hand turn lane and then into a car that was in the next lane, hitting their left rear tire. I told the insurance adjuster about the issue, he told me they would have the car checked, but I don't think he or my insurance company had the car issue inspected or investigated. The accident seemed minor, but the other party is claiming bodily injury. Maybe you guys can see who has the car and get it checked. I have tried asking the Auction company who bought the car, but they would not release that information to me.

A ROCK WENT THRU MY GRILLE STRIGHT INTO THE AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR. ALTHOUGH NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHO LIVES IN ANOTHER STATE. THE REPAIR COSTS ARE AROUND $700.00 I BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE OF US OUT THERE AND THAT THE GRILLE IS AN UNSAFE ISSUE FOR MY CAR. *TT

JAN 24 2006 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK (AROUND 45 MPH) IN MY 2006 TOYOTA SCION AND MY WINDSHIELD STARTED TO CRACK. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF IT WAS CRACKING BECAUSE OF SOME TYPE OF IMPACT (SAY A ROCK), OR JUST LOOKING TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING BUT THE 6-7 INCH CRACKING OF MY WINDSHIELD. I CAME TO WORK AND ASKED OTHER PEOPLE TO LOOK AND THEY DID NOT SEE ANY TYPE OF DEBRIS DAMAGE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER WERE I PURCHASED IT...AND THEN TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. JAN 25 2006 I TOOK MY TOYOTA IN, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CRACK (AND CONTINUOUSLY CRACKING STILL TODAY) WAS CAUSED BY IMPACT OF A STONE (OR SOMETHING) AND MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THE WINDSHIELD SHOULD CRACK LIKE THAT, AND IF IT WAS NOT A STRESS CRACK--THEN THE WINDSHIELD IS DEFECTIVE. [I MEAN WERE THE SAFETY--WHAT IF I AS IN AN ACCIDENT]. THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AND RECOMMENDED THAT I GET IT FIXED. I ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY TOLD ME YES. SO I CAME TO WORK. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE...ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT I AM NOT ALONE...THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF 2006 TOYOTA SCIONS...AND I FOUND THIS WEB SITE. *TR
