Seat Belt Problems of Toyota Scion Tc

I hit a police car that was parked on the fast lane on the interstate and never even applied the brake. I was doing between 65 to 75 mph. No airbags deployed! the impact. . . Well the front apron on the driver side is gone, the strut tower is gone (I don't mean bent . . . . Gone), the lower part of the a pillar is pushed in pretty bad, it buckled the floor pan, the door jam (rocker panel) buckled, the door bowed and even buckled the rear quarter. The door latch held up, the door had to be removed by the fire department. I keep my seat back pretty far, however my face hit the steering wheel hard enough to bend the top of the steering wheel and chin broke some of the plastic parts off the wheel and now missing part of my lip and have quite a few stitches in my face. And of course it knocked me out. I have lots of bruising from the seat belt around my waist, but none from the shoulder strap. The shoulder retractor didn't lock to keep me from hitting the wheel. The scion seat belts in the front have "pre-tensioner with force limiters" in them, neither worked. I called Toyota, the claim rep stated that unless both airbag sensors take direct and equal impacts or the airbags will not go off. He stated that Toyota wouldn't even look at the car for the airbags. Updated 12/08/10 updated 12/13/10 updated 12/30/10 updated ivoq 01/07/11.

My son lost his life on Dec 11, 2008 he was riding passenger in his own car, when his friend whom driving lost control of vehicle, the vehicle slid side ways, passenger side into a utility pole slid around and rear ended a tree, at which time my son was ejected out through the back window as a result to his death. He had his seat reclined, in which you see people doing this all the time while traveling. The auto manufacturer needs to not only put have this there owners manuel (which people don't read unless there is a problem) the auto makers need to put a sticker on the sun visor to warn drivers/passengers not ride or drive with the seat reclined. I have check on the internet and found that the auto makers are aware of this problem and congress are the feds has yet to make the auto makers do anything else about this problem, how many more kids will it take before something happens. . . By the way I only had one son, who I loved very much and now he is gone. . . Please if anything make the auto makers do something.

My 2005 Scion Tc surges/lurches forward when resuming from a stop. The amount of pressure you apply to the gas pedal has no effect on how the car is going to move forward. The problem was very intermittent and hard to notice but started happening more and more often as of Aug. /sept. 2008. In mid sept. I almost rear ended the car in front of me taking off from a stop light. I took the car to the selling dealership and the service mgr. Went on a test drive and said he noticed the problem at least 5 times in a few mile drive. When I picked my car up 2 days later the service invoice stated "unable to duplicate" and it was recommended I have a 30,000 mile maint. Done I had just had those services done 1 month earlier and they were aware of that. It was then recommended that I switch gas stations and use high octane fuel and use a fuel injection cleaner purchased from any gas station, then if no improvement further diagnostics would be needed but no codes in the ecu. I followed the recommendations for over 2 months and no change. Went back to the same dealership and was told nothing could be done and even with an extended warranty the regional service mgr sent to "inspect" my car did not inspect it and refused to authorize the repair and submit the claim under the extended warranty. I also at this time reminded them that the speedometer does not work all the time. And when it doesn't work and the car is idling the speedometer shows a speed of 5-10 miles per hour, yet while driving shows a speed of 0. I also pointed out that the drivers side pillar airbag cover they fixed weeks ago is hanging loose. It comes off every time you shut the door. This has been repaired at least twice before. They refused to acknowledge this problem as well. My car has or is having about 95% of the items displayed in your service bulletins, seatbelts,airbags,fuel injectors,window controls,sun roof,air condition and tire pressure monitor system. And the dealership aware of all of them.

I was rearended in my 2005 Scion Tc, by a 2003 Ford explorer and pushed(sandwiched) into an f350 truck in front. The car was totaled. The airbags did not deploy and both driver and passenger seatbelts did not lock.

The instrument panel around the clock burned out for no reason. The car is not put together well everything sounds as if the frame will separate from the car. The car has a problem with the cooling system, if is really loud an shakes the car really bad. The abs in the car responds prematurely which it is really loud. The seat belts in the car does not retract properly cause damage to the seat hook in the car and it premature tights while sitting at a light so you have to unbuckle an re-buckle often in the car. The engine fan timing is off as if it does not know what to do and it is extremely loud.
