This patch is located on the inner edge (part facing car/engine) and is oval shaped as well. Whole patch is completely on the outer tread as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #10268958, filed 2009-05, 36,000 miles“2005 Scion XB we have had to put three windshields in, four sets of tires and now the speedometer went out. We just spent two thousand dollars at the dealership, it had to have the seat belts done, the cruise control stuck all the time and we never got recall letters, I went on line. I am so concerned about the safety of my son. There should never be three windshield replacements, we don't know what the deal on this is and we have checked the tires daily. I appreciate the information here.”
