Toyota Scion Xb 2008 Visibility WindshieldToyota Scion Xb 2008 Visibility Windshield Review #10213136 TOYOTA SCION XB 2008 car safety problem was reported on Dec 20, 2007.TOYOTA SCION XB 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . i recently purchased a 2008 scion xb in october of this year (2007) within 2 months of owning the car (approximately on december 20, 2007) i noticed that i had a crack on the left hand side of my windshield that progressively spread in a matter of a day. i took the car to eddy's toyota/scion on december 21, 2007 to have it inspected and fixed under warranty, and i was told that the warranty would not cover the windshield because the service rep. said that he saw a rock chip that had allegedly caused the crack and rock chips were not covered by toyota. a week and a half later on december 28, 2007 i woke up to discover another crack on my windshield located on the right hand side of my windshield. i took that crack to go be inspected at the dealer, having observed no chips in this one, and i was told yet again that there was a tiny mark that they considered to be a rock chip and that this new crack, which by that time had visibly spread, was also not covered. i am absolutely furious at the lack of responsibility toyota is taking in this matter. i have since called the corporate scion offices and filed a formal complaint which i am waiting to here back on. i also proceeded to do some research and have found that this is an extremely common thing amongst scion owners and they have all experienced the same non responsiveness from the toyota corporation. i bought a toyota product because i valued their workmanship and reliability and now i am beginning to believe that they are cutting corners and not owning up to the defects that are in their vehicles. i have received no customer service in regards to this matter and have basically been told that there is nothing that can be done and that i have to continue to pay whenever my windshield gets damaged. the scion xb windshields are defective and toyota refuses to take responsibility for this matter. this is not only a defect but it is also a safety hazard, one in which i was not told of when purchasing the vehicle. *tr.Mileage was 2200 miles.

Toyota Scion Xb 2008 SteeringToyota Scion Xb 2008 Steering Review #10627734 TOYOTA SCION XB 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 22, 2014.TOYOTA SCION XB 2008, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with STEERING . i was driving my car down the road and, all of a sudden, the power steering completely stopped working which really caught me off guard. when this happened, i couldn't maintain control of the car but slowed down enough so that i eventually could steer it (very hard to steer). this could have caused a very serious accident or injury or fatality since it caught me completely by surprise. i wasn't very far from my scion dealer and i carefully drove right over there and they told me that the power steering ecu computer had failed (the car has electronic steering) and would need to be replaced at a very high cost ($800). so, my car is sitting and waiting for a new computer which they didn't have and had to order. this is a terrible and very dangerous safety problem. i'm a fairly strong male and was able to regain control of the car, but if an elderly person or someone small and not strong was driving, they might not have been able to avoid an accident or fatality. this absolutely should not happen (especially in a car like mine with around 73,000 miles) and is, in my opinion, an extremely serious safety issue which needs to be investigated and compensation needs to be made by the manufacturer for repairs involving this problem. this is not an isolated problem involving 2008 scion xb cars, and many others have experienced it as an internet search clearly shows. again, this is a serious safety issue which needs to be investigated immediately and a recall is clearly justified in this case..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 73013 miles.
