“I just recently bought 2011 Scion TC about 3 months ago. Everything was going great and running smooth, then I had to start pushing the brake to the floor, as if it wasnt working. Then one day I was driving and I was turning into a parking lot and as doing so I hit the brakes and I burnt some rubber but basically the front locked up on me and I drifted my back end in, that's when I realized that I wasnt getting my brakes at they're full potential. …”

“While driving down the road my stability control light was on constant along with my ABS light. My engine and transmission hasn't been doing right like it should be doing. Its like the transmission is slipping or my engine is missing. This is not acceptable to me.”

“Why did the dealer tell me this recall is not associated with my vin when I keep getting recall UNADDREESSED notices for my vehicle? This is a safety reason and a complete disconnect between dealerships and Toyota manufacture. I need this addressed immediately!”
