“I was driving 65mph on the freeway sounded like parts of the engine were falling out of the car. Immediately exited the freeway. The car died. My son and I pushed the smoking vehicle 200 feet to a apartment complex entrance. The vehicle then ignited in flames, and I called 911.”

NHTSA complaint #11169875, filed 2019-01, 120,000 miles

“My 2011 Scion XB has a cracked or broken weld/frame/body in the driver's side rear door area. This has been identified and reported to Scion. As of yet they are unable to make effective repair to the problem area. I am concerned that other drivers may have a similar latent issue that in a side impact will lead to increased injury or death from structural failure.”
