| Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) hello, my name is[xxx], i live in [xxx]and i am experiencing a vehicle trouble. this is a model of a 2008 toyota scion xb. well as i speak right now my vehicle has 49,409 miles and it is still sitting in their shop since 05/10/2010 for the transmission to be replaced. they thought it was a sensor problem but then they ended to tell me that my vehilcle is having already a transmissions problem. i brought my vehicle to them on 05/09/2010 because i was driving on a 30/45 mph lane and it starting to vibrate pretty unsual. the next day the service department called me and said that they do not hear anything wrong with the vehilcle so then i took it back left on my way out. well the next day it started to occur again and this time it was much heavier the vibration. so i took it back to the same person that i've have dealt with in this issue. and i had explained to him that the issue is not fixed. i explained to him that i still feel the vibration on my vehicle you need to text drive it yourself so you'll know what i am trying to explain. well the guy did test drive it and of course he did describe it that it is an unsual noise that the scion xb is doing. he also indicated to me that it is too soon for this vehicle to be having a transmission issue. so they will have their toyota technicians guys to take a look at it. and the 3 weeks are almost here and my car it is still sitting in their shop to be fixed. now, the big question is will this car be safe for me to drive with myfamily on the highway? yes, they are changing the transmissions but what will happen if this transmission breaks down on me 1 year from now or even months from now. i will really be worried especially when i am with my childrens. can you please help me with some suggestions or any tips that i need to do? i feel very unsafe now that this vehicle it is not going to be safe vehicle for me to drive anymore! thank you! *tr | |||

| Defective brakes or related problem with 2008 scion xb model. when vehicle comes to a stop, a loud, low/downward pitched sound occurs and it feels like either the brakes are grinding or something related to the drive train is having a problem. this is an intermittent problem, but occurs most often after the car has sit idle for awhile. toyota technicians drove the car for 2 days and said they experienced/heard the problem, but were not sure what it was or how to fix it. they lubed the front brake glide pins and adjusted shim pan and charged me $120 even though the car is under warranty. unfortunately that did not fix the problem and i am worried that the car braking system may fail while i am driving the car. | |||
