| Within the first 3 months from buying my scion from hammer toyota my scion sway bar breaks and come to find out there is a recall on that,but toyota never sent me a notice till i took my car in.then there was a electrical problem as well that something was burning inside my car within the first 3 months and then a hammer toyota employee brings me my car and they had crash my driver side doors.my next problem is that my car is only 4 years old i bought it with 0 miles off the lot and now the car charcoal canister breaks and i bought the extra warranty on my car only for them to tell me that the warranty doesn't cover it and it cost me $1800.00 for them to fix it.now the next problem is that the engine is burning to much oil within a month 1 qty of oil.i take the car to get service and check the oil before the month end and its burn just about 1 qty and that's only driving within the city not driving highway.now i am getting calls from toyota wanting to buy my car back from me for less then what i bought my car for.this car has cost me more money then anything and problems.something is wrong here for them to be calling me to buy my car back from me why is my question? after so many problems i pay my car in full and only 3 to 5 months old when all this problems started and toyota giving me the run around each time i took the car into them and told them about the oil problem for them to tell me just to check the oil every two weeks why should i check the oil every two weeks when the car is new at the time dozen make any sense if it gets oil service every 2,500 miles. *tr | |||

| Engine locked. my car was diagnosed with oil starvation, which was due to scion's oil consumption problem. because i did not have my oil changes done at the dealership, they found a loop hole to avoid paying for a new engine. there has been a tsb issued on this problem and scion refused to take responsibility. *tr | |||

| This vehicle had a lot of issues, first the front passenger seat belt fail 12/26/09 toyota fixed/replaced now 4/3/12 discovered oil is burning to the point the oil light came on. checked oil no oil show on oil dipstick then went to autozone bought the oil and topped it off 4/3/12. before this both rear wheel bearings fail worn out. replaced both sides cost almost $900 just parts alone. i've never own a new car before that has so much issues like this one. this vehicle is poorly made and toyota should do something about this. is this mean i will have to topped off my vehicle every other week or change my rear bearing and hubs every 50-70 miles or sooner? this is ridiculous and this is not toyota it used to known for. i own honda/acura and nissan never have this problem before. not even once and have the vehicle more than 5-7 years already. now my rear door/trunk don't want to open like there is time delay or some type. why aren't toyota warn people of the know issues or fixed it before they sell it? | |||
