Tire problem #1

- the contact called regarding a 2006 Toyota Scion Xa. The contact stated that when stopping the vehicle the brakes will lock and the car would skid. There were no warning indicators. This failure occurred intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer ,and the problem was diagnosed as hard braking . The contact stated that all four tires wore out and needed to be replaced at 7700 miles. She took the vehicle to the dealer recently, and was told that the brake pads cracked and worn and need to be replaced. This is due to heavy and hard braking.

Tire problem #2

2006 Scion Xa water leaks under tweeter on drivers side door. Second complaint the headlights are horrible in fog you can see beams of light going straight up into the air causing a blinding effect because of poor headlight housing design. It's dangerous and I have made sure the headlights are aimed properly. Last complaint the factory tires hydroplane very easily making the car almost impossible to drive in the rain safely they need to get rid of the goodyear factory tires. I was forced to buy new yokohama tires to correct the problem without reimbursement which I would like considering the car has 11 thousand miles on it.
