“Takata recall. My front tires wearing fast. When I took to dealer for service & alignment, I was informed that my car has a row bar that is rusted and frozen and I will need to replace it ($2,000 estimated). When I drive it in the rain, the car flails all over the lane. I had to stop and let cars pass me, I could only drive at low speeds and I had to pull over 4 times before getting home safely. I felt like I was going to drive off the road. Very scared and dangerous. I can't drive my car on wet roads. …”

“We own a 2008 Scion TC and in the winter this car gets excessive snow and ice build up in the wheel wells and this becomes a safety issue when trying to turn. I am wondering if there has been any recalls for this car for this issue, the plastic used in the wheel wells seems to hold the snow and ice rather then falling off. Is their anything that you know of that could be done to remedy this issue? I have spoke with other Scion owners and they have the same problem. Please reply with any suggestions or if their is a recall for this problem. Thank you,”
