I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE FOUR WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THEY WERE BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, VSC. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE RIGHT REAR AND LEFT REAR ABS SENSORS AND CABLES WITH A REPLACEMENT COST OS $1357.04 PLUS DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $59.66. I ASKED WHY THE SENSORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO CORROSION FROM ROAD SALT. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE!! I'VE SEEN A SCION SERVICE BULLETIN (S-SB-0040-09 DATED JULY 6, 2009) THAT ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER AND SCION IF THEY COULD HELP ME OUT IN ANY WAY AND THEY'RE ANSWER WAS NO. I REALIZE MY CAR IS OUR OF WARRANTY BUT WHY SHOULD AN OWNER OF A VEHICLE HAVE TO SPEND $1400.00 TO REPLACE COMPONENTS THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS SINCE CORRECTED THE DESIGN DUE TO THIS PROBLEM? *TR

THE ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE IS THE TRACTION CONTROL. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE IT PERMANENTLY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER SEVERAL TIMES TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP. THE INTERSECTION EXITING MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS OFTEN BUSY AND OCCASIONALLY THERE IS LOOSE SAND AND GRAVEL AT THE EXIT. AT TIMES, TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION SAFELY, I WILL NEED TO STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE MORE THAN USUAL. IF MY TIRES SO HAPPEN TO BE SITTING ON A PATCH OF LOOSE SAND OR GRAVEL, THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL ACTIVATE WHEN I ACCELERATE. THIS CUTS THE POWER FROM MY ENGINE AND INSTEAD OF BRISKLY CROSSING THE INTERSECTION, MY CAR, AT A SNAILS PACE, CROSSES THE INTERSECTION. THE MORE TIME MY VEHICLE SPENDS IN THE INTERSECTION, THE GREATER CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE POWER IS CUT FOR TOO LONG IN MY OPINION AND I FEEL THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD BE MUCH SAFER WITHOUT IT. A LITTLE SPIN OF THE MY TIRES WOULD OCCUR WHEN I'M ON THE LOOSE SAND AND GRAVEL BUT ONCE ON NORMAL PAVEMENT, IT WOULD BE BUSINESS AS USUAL. WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED, THERE IS A DELAY AND ONCE ON NORMAL PAVEMENT, IT STILL HAS REDUCED POWER. THE CAR DOES ALLOW THE DRIVER TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL AT A STOP BUT IT REACTIVATES AFTER REACHING A CERTAIN SPEED. I DO NOT ALWAYS KNOW WHEN I HAPPEN TO STOP ON A PATCH OF LOOSE SAND AND GRAVEL AND I WON'T ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL AT EVERY STOP. *TR

WHILE AT A DRIVE THRU AND FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE MY 2009 SCION XB SURGED BY RELEASING THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE, I QUICKLY REMOVED MY FOOT AND REAPPLIED PRESSURE AND IT DID IT AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT SAME OCCURRENCE. VEHICLE AT BOTH THESE TIMES WAS NOT IN MOTION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK IF PROBLEMS HAD BEEN REPORTED AS BOTH THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED WITHIN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER AND THEY STATED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT. HOWEVER, I TOLD THEM I NEEDED A CAR THEY SAID SERVICE WAS CLOSED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A CAR IN ORDER FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO GET HOME AND FOR WORK THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS OPEN IT WAS 7:15PM AT NIGHT BUT I COULD NOT GET A LOANER CAR IN ORDER FOR THEM TO PROPERLY CHECK MY BRAKES AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. I ASKED THEM TO WRITE DOWN THAT I HAD APPROACHED THEM ON THE SUBJECT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD. THE NEXT MORNING WHILE GOING TO WORK THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING DOWN A HILLSIDE WHEN I APPLIED BRAKE THE VEHICLE SLOWED AS IT SHOULD BUT AGAIN THERE WAS A SURGE IN POWER AND IT ACCELERATED AND I HAD TO REMOVE MY FOOT QUICKLY FROM THE BRAKE AND REAPPLY TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL.

During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.

Consequence: If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Remedy: Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge.
