2011 Scion XB complaints

WAS DRIVING ON PAVED ROAD AT APPROX. 15 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN ANOTHER CAR CAME FROM MY LEFT (DRIVER'S ) SIDE. HE WAS DRIFTING AND HIT MY LEFT FRONT BUMPER AREA. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD, LEFT SHOULDER, AND CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL. MY HEAD ALSO HIT THE DASH. MY STEERING WHEEL IS BENT COMPLETELY. THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER IS OFF THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE QUARTER PANEL AND FENDER WELL. MY HOOD IS COMPLETELY SHIFTED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. CANNOT BELIEVE THIS MUCH DAMAGE CAN BE DONE WITHOUT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. UPDATED 09-03-14 *BF UPDATED 11/26/2014 *JS *TR

MY 2011 SCION XB HAS A CRACKED OR BROKEN WELD/FRAME/BODY IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR AREA. THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND REPORTED TO SCION. AS OF YET THEY ARE UNABLE TO MAKE EFFECTIVE REPAIR TO THE PROBLEM AREA. I AM CONCERNED THAT OTHER DRIVERS MAY HAVE A SIMILAR LATENT ISSUE THAT IN A SIDE IMPACT WILL LEAD TO INCREASED INJURY OR DEATH FROM STRUCTURAL FAILURE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OF LEFT LANE ON THE PARKWAY AT 50 MPH, I LIGHTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SWAY UNCONTROLLABLY LEFT AND RIGHT. THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HEAD OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO THE GRASS AND CRASH INTO THE GUIDE RAIL. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT, I NOTICED THE ABS+VSC+EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE LIT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE COLLISION SHOP FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIRS WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY START NEXT WEEK. I ASKED THAT THE COMPUTER CODE READOUTS BE NOTED BY THE INSPECTOR WHEN HE ARRIVES. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THIS ROUTE TO WORK FOR 55,000 MILES AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF RESPONSE DURING BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS A CURRENT INSPECTION STICKER ON IT. *TR

2011 SCION XB ABRUPT THROTTLE RESPONSE OFF IDLE. VEHICLE "JACK RABBITS" TO ACCELERATE. VERY HARD TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND SAFELY. CAN BE DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AND PARKING LOTS. YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR LEFT FOOT HARD ON THE BRAKE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR
