Visibility Problems of Toyota Scion Xb

Parking brakes frozen during drive. It happen only in winter time. First time it happen when odo meter at 9,000 mile then 18,000 and now at 40,000+ miles. I checked with local repair shop and endup in replacing rotor + brakepads. But now I feel now it getting worse and repair shop insist that I should contact dealer about this problem, because it is not normal to replace rotor and brakepads twice with 40,000 miles of driving. Windows also froze during the cold weather.

Poor quality back-up light could cause vehicle to be unseen while backing up. Scion xb has only one back-up light mounted on the lower right side of the bumper. This light could cause a serious hazard to children and pets that are walking or playing at night. Toyota has installed a very safe light assembly on the same vehicle sold in japan as a (Toyota rumion). The lights on the Toyota are a direct fit with the Scion Xb and cost Toyota very little to fix. Please note that single light on the bumper can illuminate the ground and the Toyota version lights up the rear completely. These Toyota lights can be found on the internet and some members of scionlife. Com has installed them already. The cost of these lights shipped to the us are way beyond what most are willing to pay. Please look into this safety hazard!.

Stress crack appeared when I returned to my parked car in the morning. No impact could have happened. This is a reported design flaw in the 2006 Scion Xb, and I feel that it should be covered by warranty.
