general problems of the 2006 Toyota Scion Tc

2006 Scion Tc -battery light on -engine temprature indicator no working -whining noise coming from engine try to jumpstart makes this buring smell and wont start started seeing smokes from jumper cables so turn everything off now it's totally dead.

P043e, po444f, p2401,p2402,p2419 codes charcoal canister assembly failed seems to be a very common problem with this particular Toyota model and Toyota should pay for the replacement. Faulty equipment expensive to replace. Want Toyota to replace these parts / TSB notice.

As traveling down the freeway on way to work, I heard a sound that was similar to a gunshot or explosion of some kind. Glass started to fly in my face and all over the car barely missing my eye. It cut my arm and hand. The injury was not serious, my wife said if she had been driving she probably would have crashed when it happened. When I got home I called the both the dealership that sold me the car and Toyota headquarters in torrance. They asked me what I wanted and I said I just want it fixed they told me they would give me a good price to fix it, but it is not covered under any warranty. John got back to me a few days later and said that I could take it down to the dealership and have it fixed, pay for it myself and then Toyota would think about it. That's not acceptable. I work hard for my money and trust that a cars moonroof isn't going to explode while I'm driving it. From the other complaints, this doesn't seem to be a rare occurance. If a piece of glass had landed in my eye, I would have surely gone blind.

I hit a deer and the hood busted, the battery busted and the radiator busted. Rocco's collision in turnersville lied, progressive in mount laurel lied, copart in trenton or glassboro got it from a a auto in sewell new jersey. These 4 places spun my car in a circle pretending to fix it, while they stole parts and pretended it was a total loss. It was less than 1000 dollars reported as $8500 in damage. I lost $17,000 and got paid $10,300. . . . They even stole the deductible and fixed nothing.

Traveling home from work when I felt something pop under the front of the car. The steering boomeranged to the left, I was not able to recover as it was like it was locked. Unable to turn the steering wheel back to the right, I applied the brakes which would not stop the car as it accelerated . The car crossed the center line into a residential yard hitting a tree head on. I ended up with facial, clavicle, rib, pelvis and hip fractures. The physicians say it will be a year before I will be able to work and I may end up with a permanent limp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 072913 update: crash on June 5, 2012 resulted in permanent disability, foot drop, an "erector set" inside my leg/hip/pelvis, always wearing the leg brace, dealing with atrophy, pain/discomfort, losing the house, need handicapped accessible apt, finances suck, will always be paying the medical bills, can't go back to work (ever), have already become a burden to other taxpayers & the lawyer advised no successful tort was possible against Toyota scion because there was no other witness. . . (don't believe Toyota would care either way ! ). We got rid of the tundra for a ridgeline too. No Toyota products in our future - ever. Am not complaining though - am very happy to still be vertical.

Driving down the highway at 65mph, the sunroof shattered without anything hitting it. Sunroof cover was closed preventing glass from coming into the cabin and preventing possible injury. After speaking with scion they are unwilling to cover repair costs sighting that it could have been debris from the road. Clearly, I have no proof except for the numerous other claims through NHTSA. Regardless, they have been less than helpful in rectifying the situations and solving the issue.

A/c failure of less than 2 yr old vehicle. Over $2,300 repair costs.

The door that covers the stereo head unit rattles and squeaks to no end whether it is open or closed. I first noticed the noise at 1,500 miles. 20,000 miles later it seems as if there is no remedy for this problem.
