FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
06/11/201034000
 Approximately 1 month ago, i had exited from the freeway and came to an intersection. as i pressed the accelerator to drive through the intersection, the car stalled. i turned the ignition to the off position and put the car in park inorder to attempt to re-start the car. the car continued to crank even when i took my hand off of the ignition. i had the car towed to toyota to diagnose and fix the problem. invoice indicated that battery was changed and that tech performed ecm calibration and fuel injector service. one month later, i was driving on the freeway at 55 miles an hour and my accelerator went out again. the car rolled down the freeway unable to accelerate until i managed to steer the car to the right side of the freeway and pulled over. i turned off the car and tried to restart the car. again, (like in the first incident) the car continued to crank without starting. i again had the car towed to toyota for car service. it is currently in their service department. the service tech did tell me today that he believes the problem may be with the fuel level sensor, but not sure. this needs to be investigated thoroughly as this car has stalled (without warning) on me twice while on the road, once in an intersection and once on the freeway, which puts myself, my family, and others at high risk for a collision.
SEAT BELTS
04/03/201032000
 The abs light in my car keeps coming on. i took it to the dealership (bay ridge toyota, brooklyn, ny) three times for this problem. the second time i took it with a letter for a recall on something related to the brakes. the problem still happens and the brakes sometimes feel spongy and are not as responsive. i took the car again today, and even though the car is still under the new car warranty, they want to charge me $94 dollars to just look at it. again, i have taken the car 3 times. and i do not feel safe. i want all this recorded in case the brakes stop working and something happens. i feel like no one is listening to me. the car is under warranty!!!! also the seatbelt lights come on even when i have the seatbelt on.

STEERING
10/13/200801
 I own a 2008 scion xd (aka corolla hatchback) that has steering problems ever since i bought it new in 2008. the vehicle has electrical powered steering. it is difficult to keep the car in the lane when driving at highway speeds. it tends to wander around in the lane and requires constant monitoring to avoid drifting into other lanes. i am expecting to be pulled over for drunk driving someday. my wife drove it one time and now refuses to drive it. the steering problem has been evident since the day i bought it. note====> vehicle is scion xd <============ (xd is not available from the drop down menu on the next page !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *tr

 Sudden accleration at a slow speed
05/09/201042000
 The abs light in our 2008 scion xd was coming on intermittently. we took it to the dealer, anderson toyota & scion in rockford, illinois. they told us that it was the rear hub speed sensor assembly: $605.00 to replace!!! we had kurt's automotive in rockford take a second look at it, they could not see anything that showed justification of that being the problem. so it has not been fixed and it has not come on again for over a month, when it did come on our brakes were spongy at times too, like the other complaint stated & not as responsive. we have had the recall (pcv to brake line condensation fix) done by anderson and the anti-lock light was still coming on after that too. but it seems when it started getting warmer out the anti-lock light stopped and brakes were fine. just last week, may 7 2010 we took it in to anderson's for the service bulletin sb-0032-09 intermittent hard starting or extended starting which just started two weeks ago. this fix(???) is covered under toyota federal emissions warr. 80k mile or 96mo., which the first time i someone told me it would cost us $55 to diagnose it!!?? second time i called i talked to the service manager at anderson, he said bring it in, it's under warranty. anderson updated the ecm/pcm modules, cleaned carbon buildup out of combustion chambers, added fuel cleaner. and the very next day as my wife left from a trip 120 miles away to head back home it started doing it again!!!! hard, extended startup of engine! no service engine lights when this happens & there have been no error codes in computer. although the service center told me they can reset themselves when the vehicle is turned off. of course this car just went out of warranty 43,000 current miles, on a (3yrs/36k warr.)!!! my wife works near chicago so it makes for an even tougher commute wondering everyday if it will start, then will she get stuck at work! toyota, seems your quality has gone squat!!
