| While opening the rear hatch door the handle snapped and no longer can be used to open the door. the electric no longer works on the passenger side of the vehicle, i can not open or lock these doors. the dash board lights remain on no matter how often i take it back to the dealer to fix. these problems are expensive to repair and it seems they can not repair these problems. | |||

| By 2011, both back windows inoperable (motor burned out due to electrical issues) and i am having issues with the air conditioning and electrical dash display. the dealer (avenues toyota in jacksonville, fl) said there are no recalls and instructed me to call toyota directly about the problem. the dealer wants to charge me $500 each to replace the motor in both back windows and claims there are no issues that they are aware of at this time. i found numerous claims on the internet to substantiate that this is not an isolated case and the electrical issues extend throughout the toyota line during the time the vehicle was manufactured. | |||

| Several lights turn on console due to technical recall. dealership did not fix issue due to lights not being on. i've taken to 2 other mechanics who said take car to dealership. car was close on (and now out of ) warranty. this seems to be a common issue as i looked on many sites in regards to 2005 scion xb's and found many other complaints. the lights will turn off after ignition is restarted numerous times, therefore removing the data from the computer. trac control, check engine, you can feel the car shutter and trying to catch. *tr | |||
