DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK HALF WAY UNABLE TO EXIT CAR. DOOR LOCKS WILL CLICK OPEN AND CLOSE INDEPENDENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED, USING KEY REMOTE TO LOCK CAR AND WHILE WALKING AWAY I HEAR CAR LOCKS CLICK. I WALK BACK TO CAR TO FIND ALL DOORS UNLOCKED? REAR HATCH HANDLE ASSEMBLY VERY FLIMSY. IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO PULL DOOR OPEN. MINE CAME OFF IN MY HAND SQUEEZING THE RELEASE THEN PULLING IT OPEN! CANNOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE WITHOUT IT OR IN AN EMERGENCY. ALSO WITHOUT THE HANDLE THERE IS NO ILLUMINATION OF THE LICENSE PLATE WHICH GETS YOU PULLED OVER AND GETS YOU A TICKET!

A ROCK WENT THRU MY GRILLE STRIGHT INTO THE AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR. ALTHOUGH NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHO LIVES IN ANOTHER STATE. THE REPAIR COSTS ARE AROUND $700.00 I BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE OF US OUT THERE AND THAT THE GRILLE IS AN UNSAFE ISSUE FOR MY CAR. *TT

I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD BRAKED AT A 3 WAY. I TURNED SLOWLY WITH MY FOOT GENTLY ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND WENT INTO THE ABUTMENT OF THE PARKING SPACE. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE.

JAN 24 2006 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK (AROUND 45 MPH) IN MY 2006 TOYOTA SCION AND MY WINDSHIELD STARTED TO CRACK. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF IT WAS CRACKING BECAUSE OF SOME TYPE OF IMPACT (SAY A ROCK), OR JUST LOOKING TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING BUT THE 6-7 INCH CRACKING OF MY WINDSHIELD. I CAME TO WORK AND ASKED OTHER PEOPLE TO LOOK AND THEY DID NOT SEE ANY TYPE OF DEBRIS DAMAGE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER WERE I PURCHASED IT...AND THEN TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. JAN 25 2006 I TOOK MY TOYOTA IN, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CRACK (AND CONTINUOUSLY CRACKING STILL TODAY) WAS CAUSED BY IMPACT OF A STONE (OR SOMETHING) AND MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THE WINDSHIELD SHOULD CRACK LIKE THAT, AND IF IT WAS NOT A STRESS CRACK--THEN THE WINDSHIELD IS DEFECTIVE. [I MEAN WERE THE SAFETY--WHAT IF I AS IN AN ACCIDENT]. THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AND RECOMMENDED THAT I GET IT FIXED. I ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY TOLD ME YES. SO I CAME TO WORK. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE...ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT I AM NOT ALONE...THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF 2006 TOYOTA SCIONS...AND I FOUND THIS WEB SITE. *TR
