Sunroof / moonroof explosion. Driving 50 mph on freeway and what sounded like a gun shot was my moonroof exploding. Nothing hit the vehicle, it just exploded on its own.

2008 - scion - toyota - burning oil, burning a quart of oil in less than every 800 miles. Car is up to date with all maintenance. Mechanic referred us to dealership. Toyota issued a tsb - 'some 2006 ' 2011 model year vehicles equipped with the 2az-fe engine may exhibit engine oil consumption. The piston assembly has been changed to minimize oil consumption.' and that 'p030# (cylinder # misfire detected) dtc may also be set as a result of oil consumption.' however dealership refuses to even test or repair the vehicle. Saying we only had until aug 2017. We were never notified of such issues, no letters or anything were sent to us. Car has always been registered and our owner info has always been available to toyota. So now we are stuck with defective vehicle.

Engine consumes too much oil . Have to refill the oil in my engine about two times in between oil changes.

Takata recall. My front tires wearing fast. When i took to dealer for service & alignment, i was informed that my car has a row bar that is rusted and frozen and i will need to replace it ($2,000 estimated). When i drive it in the rain, the car flails all over the lane. I had to stop and let cars pass me, i could only drive at low speeds and i had to pull over 4 times before getting home safely. I felt like i was going to drive off the road. Very scared and dangerous. I can't drive my car on wet roads. Also, i'm having to buy new tires every 20,000 miles it seems and i've regularly had them rotated. Last time they said they couldn't rotate them because the rod was frozen and it's only the tc model that has this particular rod.

Purchased this car for my teenage daughter 2 months ago. Car runs like a champ. Recently had to add a quart and a half of oil then changed the oil saturday and yesterday the car was 2 quarts low again. Have seen numerous complaints online about excessive oil use on these vehicles, same year yet toyota has not issued a recall, why? When reading complaints, apparently it's a common problem, defect, with the 08 tc in which involves the piston rings. This is a very expensive fix and toyota should be held accountable for the repairs.

Excessive oil consumption and this is the second engine that has blown in my car. The first problem was when the pistons blew up my engine and now here we go again with the pistons in the second motor. I called scion customer service and spoke with camille and she basically told me i am stuck with this bad motor that i just had put in on april 7, 2017.

This vehicle was just involved in an accident, rear-ending the car in front, the front end of the vehicle is demolished, the radiator and everything crushed and slammed back, fluids leaking from everything, even buckled the passenger door, the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle in front of this vehicle's airbags deployed. The police officers on the scene could not understand why they did not deploy.

High consumption of engine oil. I am having to add about a quart every 1000 miles or so. Took to dealer and was told i was 2 weeks past the deadline of 10 years from the date the vehicle went into service. The car is well under the 150,000 miles coverage period at only 90,000 miles. Toyota's position was firm on the 2 week overage period. This just does not seem right. This car's engine could lock up due to lack of oil and cause me to wreck not to mention the unnecessary amount of air pollution this is causing
