I bought my car brand new in December 2008 and within a week I noticed that the radio did not get good reception in some areas. I brought my car into the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they could not duplicate the problem. I have this problem occur on a daily basis and the slightest things cause signal interruptions. Some of these items are other vehicles, metal building overhangs, telephone poles, rain clouds, fog, trees, and random other items. I have had my car in the dealership 5 times now and they have replaced both the radio and the antenna that connects from the radio to the external antenna on the rear deck lid of my car. Neither one of these repairs have fixed my vehicle. The dealership has noted on 2 of my repair orders that they have driven other cars on the lot like mine and have experienced similar issues.
The lip covering the trunk hatch on these cars is defective and should be recalled. It is a cheap plastic piece held on with plastic clips that break! Toyota needs to own up to this and fix it. They know about the issue and let it go on for five years until they changed the parts being used.
I have a Toyota Scion Tc and it has been consuming oil every 1200 miles now it's even less my engine almost started to lock up because there was no air on I did the oil consumption test they said I passed on my paperwork it has them adding oil and I only drove 1100 miles that's not normal they're telling me they cannot fix my car and the next test I take is going to be in six months so I have to add a quart of oil for every thousand miles.
