2006 Scion Xa Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Scion XA. The contact stated that while driving through a green light in second gear, another vehicle ran a light from the left and crashed into the driver's side of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's head struck the side window, and the vehicle spun and was able to come to a stop. The Police arrived on the scene; however, a Police report was not filed. The contact received injuries to the ankles, back, and sustained whiplash. Medical attention was sought. The vehicle was able to be driven from the scene; however, the wheel was damaged, causing issues with the alignment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was taken to the dealer 7 times. While the contact’s husband was driving the vehicle, there was a sudden loss of power. The driver was able to coast the vehicle in neutral to a nearby truck stop, and the vehicle was towed to another dealer. The second dealer, Vic Vaughan Toyota of Boerne (31205 Frontage Rd #10, Boerne, TX 78006); diagnosed the vehicle and determined that due to the collision, the engine had shifted, crushing the alternator up against the side of the vehicle. The alternator was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the issues. The failure mileage was unknown.

The airbag warning light started flashing while driving. I checked for recalls and my model year has one for this problem but when I enter the VIN the result says that there isn't a recall for it.

HAWAII IN THE HOUSE ...I OWN A 2006 SCION XA AND RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT HILO TOYOTA.."P2401 EVAPORATE LEAK DETECTION PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT". THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND SOME OTHER PARTS ARE RUINED DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE. I AM ONE OF MILLIONS SCION OWNERS WHO NOW HAS TO PAY MAJOR PARTS AND LABOR CHARGES TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I LIVE IN HAWAII AND IT RAINS ALOT HERE, I FIND THIS AS A DEFECT AND TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE THE RIGHT ACTIONS TO FIX THIS ON GOING ISSUE. I LOVE MY SCION BUT I HATE KNOWING THIS WILL RE-OCCUR AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN... AS MANY POSTS HAVE PAID FOR NEW PARTS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AND I PAYED OVER $1,000 IN REPAIRS FOR THIS CODES. "TOTOTA" HANDLE THIS ISSUE ALREADY. WE ARE LOYAL CUSTOMERS, BUT U GUYS NEED TO TAKE ACTION. NOT EVERY ONE HAS A FEW THOUSANDS TO FIX THIS ON GOING ISSUE.

I OWN A 2006 SCION XA AND LIKE MANY OTHERS, HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CHARCOAL CANISTER, ETC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND AGAIN THE CODES SAY IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY DOES TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH THIS? IT SEEMS LIKE A CLASS ACTION SUITE TO ME!!! THIEVES!!!

ENGINE IS SUDDENLY JOLTY AND JUMPY IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING, AND BUMPY ESPECIALLY AT AN IDLE BUT ALSO HIGHER SPEEDS, IN ANY DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING, AND THEN SOLID, THEN BACK TO FLASHING (REPEAT) BUT EVERY DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE JUST READS "ERROR."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SCION XA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER MADE A LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

I OWN AN 2006 SCION XA AND I HAVING TROUBLE TO START THE ENGINE WHEN IT'S GET WARM OR NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD LIKE ON MORNINGS IT STAR RIGHT AWAY WITH A FEW CRANKS BUT AFTER IT'S GETS WARM I TO CRANK TIMES STOP CRANKING AND CRANK IT AGAIN UNTIL ENGINE START, CARS RUN FINE AND GOT NO CHECK ENGINE CODE ON IT.

CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE. RPMS SPIKE.

Symptom: When brakes are applied, car will violently jerk to the left into the path of oncoming traffic. Countersteering to prevent collision results in left front tire skidding with poor braking. Cause: Initially, the suspected cause was a failed right front brake caliper. However, upon investigation, it was found that the ABS braking module was blocking all brake fluid from going to the right front caliper. Solution: ABS braking module must be replaced. Comment: It should be assumed that if one front wheel brake is disabled, then the other could also be disabled without warning resulting in no braking capability at all. On this vehicle, the rear brakes are also controlled by the ABS module.

THE INTERIOR FRONT DISC PADS CONSTANTLY RUB, GRIND AND WEAR OUT ON MY SCION XA 2006. I WAS TOLD BY A TOYOTA TECHNICIAN (THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT BRAKES) THAT IF THE BRAKES ARE INSPECTED AND I AM TOLD THEY HAVE LOTS OF WEAR LEFT - THEY ARE NOT REPORTING THE WEAR ON THE INNER WHEEL PADS BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN DESIGN. THIS HAS CAUSED I BELIEVE MUCH BRAKE FADING DURING NORMAL CITY FREEWAY STOP AND GO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 SCION XA WESTBOUND I80 UTAH ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT MILE MARKER 150 WHILE TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN PASSENGERS FRONT TIRE ENCOUNTERED BLACK ICE SENDING THE CAR INTO THE CEMENT BARRIER. BOUNCED OFF THAT CEMENT BARRIER INTO THE OPPISITE BARRIER ON THE PASSENGER FRONT BOTH WERE BLOWN OUT AND A FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS COLLAPSED IN THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK OR ENGAGE. RESULTING I IMPACTED WINDSHIELD WITH FOREHEAD CRACKING IT, THEN AS I WAS COMING BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED LATE AND RESULUTING HIT ME IN THE LEFT SIDE OF JAW RESULTING I WAS SHOT ACROSS THE CAR AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE SHATTERED THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW ON TO THE ROAD. I LANDED ACROSS THE GEAR SHIFT AND BROKE MY BACK AS A RESULT. OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS FAILING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY I WAS THROWN AROUND THE CAR LIKE A RAG DOLL I BLEW OUT THE MCL IN MY LEFT KNEE AND SUFFERED THREE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES WITHIN 30 SECONDS. RESULTING FROM THE CRASH COMATOSE FOR 6 HOURS I HAVE NO CLEAR MEMORIES FOR UP TO 3 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. ALSO A FRACTURED BACK, HOW MUCH IS AND BY THE AGE OF 24 AND HAD TO HAVE ALL MY TEETH PULLED AND RECIEVE DENTURES. TO THIS DAY THIS ACCIDENT AFFECTS MY DAILY LIFE AND LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES OF THE 3 TBI ARE STILL DEVELOPING. I WAS 20 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. I'M 27 NOW. I FOUND OUT ONLY A YEAR AGO THAT RECALLS SHOUKD BE INPLACE.

2006 TOYOTA PRIUS--HEADLAMPS HAVE GONE OUT ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SIX TIMES DATING FROM 2008 TO THE PRESENT. THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AT NIGHT CREATING A SAFETY SITUATION ESPECIALLY ONE INCIDENT ON A DARK BUMPY DESERT ROAD. REPLACEMENT COST VARIES FROM DEALER TO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP---$100.00 PLUS TO OVER $300.00 FOR EACH HEADLAMP. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PAID FOR FIRST FOUR REPLACEMENTS BUT WILL NOT LONGER PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENTS. *TR

WELL, I TOO HAVE A 2006 SCION XA WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT! THE LEFT TWEETER AND MIRROR COMBINATION MUST BE A BAD DESIGN BECAUSE MINE IS LEAKING AND IT ALSO CAUSED THE TWEETER TO FAIL. THE VENTILATION SYSTEM FOR HEATING/COOLING AND DEFOGGING IS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PERSON WHO STATED THAT HIS SCIONS HAVE IMPROPERLY GAPED SPARK PLUGS!! DOESN'T SEEM LIKE TOYOTA AND NOW, SCION IS BUILDING CARS THE WAY THEY USED TOO. DEALERS AND SERVICE PEOPLE AREN'T VERY FRIENDLY AND BOTH DEALERSHIPS IN THIS MARYLAND AREA ARE LESS THAN AMICABLE OR SKILLED ABOUT SERVICE-NOT VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE OR DON'T REALLY CARE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SCION PRODUCT-IT RATTLES AND SQUEAKS ON THE INTERIOR, BUT IT'S HARD TO PINPOINT WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM AND NOT THE USUAL EXPECTED TOYOTA QUALITY. BRAKES SEEM TO TAKE TOO LONG TO STOP AND ARE MUSHY EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. CAR IS BASICALLY A MODERN-DAY DISAPPOINTMENT AND I READ ABOUT THE FUEL FILLER TUBE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED ON A SCION FORUM BECAUSE POOR DESIGN CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL OVER WHEN FILLING THE TANK TO NEAR FULL-HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO ENJOY MY NEW CAR, BUT IT IT WORRISOME AND WILL PROBABLY SPEND A LOT OF TIME GETTING THE DEFECTS STRAIGHTENED OUT. ALSO, ON A SCION FORUM, THE RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING AND RADIO/CD HEAD UNIT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO FAIL. CAR SEEMS POORLY ENGINEERED AND LOW QUALITY. HEADLIGHTS IN PARTICULAR ARE A VERY POOR DESIGN ON DARK STREETS AND ALSO IN THE FOG-PROVIDE LITTLE ILLUMINATION FOR ANY DISTANCE. *TR

MY POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH WENT OUT. I COULD NOT PUT MY RIGHT REAR WINDOW UP. I WENT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I GET MY MAINTENANCE DONE AND THIS WAS THERE ASSESSMENT. I SEE TODAY ON LINE THAT TOYOTA IS RECALLING VEHICLES DUE TO THE POWER WINDOW SWITCHES MALFUNCTIONING! I CHECKED AND MY MODEL YEAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL. I FIND THIS A VERY ODD COINCIDENCE I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED SCION CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID I WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY THIS PROBLEM TO ME EXTENDS BEYOND THE MODEL YEARS LISTED. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE. THANK YOU *TR

2006 SCION XA WATER LEAKS UNDER TWEETER ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. SECOND COMPLAINT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE HORRIBLE IN FOG YOU CAN SEE BEAMS OF LIGHT GOING STRAIGHT UP INTO THE AIR CAUSING A BLINDING EFFECT BECAUSE OF POOR HEADLIGHT HOUSING DESIGN. IT'S DANGEROUS AND I HAVE MADE SURE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE AIMED PROPERLY. LAST COMPLAINT THE FACTORY TIRES HYDROPLANE VERY EASILY MAKING THE CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN SAFELY THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THE GOODYEAR FACTORY TIRES. I WAS FORCED TO BUY NEW YOKOHAMA TIRES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT WHICH I WOULD LIKE CONSIDERING THE CAR HAS 11 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. *NM
