| Driving down the highway at 65mph, the sunroof shattered without anything hitting it. sunroof cover was closed preventing glass from coming into the cabin and preventing possible injury. after speaking with scion they are unwilling to cover repair costs sighting that it could have been debris from the road. clearly, i have no proof except for the numerous other claims through nhtsa. regardless, they have been less than helpful in rectifying the situations and solving the issue. *tr | |||

| The door that covers the stereo head unit rattles and squeaks to no end whether it is open or closed. i first noticed the noise at 1,500 miles. 20,000 miles later it seems as if there is no remedy for this problem. *jb | |||

| 2006 scion tc, the a/c on this car (still under warranty) stopped cooling. i took it to the scion dealer i purchased the vehicle from, and they advised me that a pebble or rock had hit the condenser unit and caused a crack, allowing refrigerant to leak out. the repair will be over $1000, and i was advised that this is considered a road hazard which isn't covered under warranty. i believe (as many others do) that this is a design flaw, which should be covered under warranty. *tr | |||
