TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 SCION XB. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000(AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. FIORE TOYOTA (1000 S LOGAN BLVD, HOLLIDAYSBURG, PA 16648, (814) 247-0102) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY SOUNDED LIKE PARTS OF THE ENGINE WERE FALLING OUT OF THE CAR. IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE FREEWAY. THE CAR DIED. MY SON AND I PUSHED THE SMOKING VEHICLE 200 FEET TO A APARTMENT COMPLEX ENTRANCE. THE VEHICLE THEN IGNITED IN FLAMES, AND I CALLED 911.

I purchased my 2011Scion XB 09/08/2010 and in the last 12 months, my scion XB has been burning oil extremely fast. I have to add oil to the vehicle approximately every 4-5 weeks. I’ve taken it to the the Toyota dealership and was advised that the only way to fix the issue is by getting a new engine. Also, every time I break, there is a grinding sound even if with new break pads, and the steering column shakes. The tires sensors have malfunctioned because even after having the tires professionally replaced or filled, the light never goes off. Lastly, the vehicle door sensors are also not working properly.

"OIL COMP RECALL" WENT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TALKED TO THE ASSTI SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD I COULD NOT DO THE RECALL THERE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE PLACE THAT FIRST TESTED IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT WAS TESTED IN ALABAMA I LIVE IN FL. WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS IN FINAL STAGES THAT THEY JUAT HAVE TO PREFORM THE RECALL THE FINAL STEP.

The steering becomes hard to control after being on the highway for around 40-60 mins. It is hard to keep the vehicle on track because the steering is "sticky" and it takes more force to keep the vehicle in its lane, hence we wander within the lane and appear to be either drunk or not in full control. The problem is intermittent but does occur at various degrees on any given day. We are afraid there will be an accident when we cannot control correctly.
