Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Accelerated (took off) while driving at highway speed (5 incidences)...originally I thought it was a problem with my aftermarket cruise control. I called dealership and reported that they should not recommend aftermarket cruise at the time...they claimed no other problems. …”

NHTSA complaint #10339408, filed 2010-06, 15,000 miles

“Due to the upright position of the windshield a small rock can cause stars which lead to multiple leader cracks. Due to grill design and position of A/C condenser a small rock can puncture causing a leak and require replacement costs of up to $1100 on a 4 month old car. Toyota needs to realize that their design has major flaws with positioning. Unfortunately, rocks are everywhere and if you drive any at all on the freeway you are surely going to encounter some.”

“I own a 2006 Scion XB and approximately 1 year ago had the accelerated stick to the floor mat after accelerating to pass another vehicle. Upon passing I took my foot off the accelerator and the car continued to gain speed. The gas pedal got stuck in the winter floor mat I had. It required me to use my foot and pull up on the gas pedal to release it. Since then I have always been cautious of this and have not had another problem. However, after reading about the issues with toyota and lexus I am concerned that this is also a problem with Scion vehicles. Felt I should report this to someone.”

“My car has several defects. I have a 2006 toyota Scion. I purchase this car from carmax but they tell me that I have to have it repaired at a toyota car dealership place. This place has been given me a run around about fixing my car ever since january. I brought my car in for one thing to be repaired. And the told me that the electrical air bag and the electrical system needed to be replace in my car and I have not been able to get my car repaired at this place at all. I have been trying for the last few months to have them to repaired what they said I needed repaired on my car. …”
