“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10479539, filed 2012-10, 98,000 miles“Well, I too have a 2006 Scion XA with less than 5,000 miles on it!

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. …”
