If it wasnt leaking water it was whistling very loud. However, the way Scion handled it we are never buying another Toyota product. They did offer to make four payments for each of the trips to the dealership. We wanted out of the lease to get into another Toyota vehicle. The corporate rep decided that the windshield leaking water or making noise was two separate problems and not related. Although they said all the problems came from not doing the seal properly. We should have gotten a lemon lawyer.
We have purchased nine Toyotas' in the last ten years. We currently own two second gen. xB RS, I have a RS 5.0
I'm so glad we didnt purchase this car, just 2 more years and it becomes someone elses problem. Maybe it will get totaled this winter to rid it from any other poor sucker from being stuck with this miserable piece of crap.
I checked the internet for this problem, and lo and behold there is a sleuth of posts about this exact problem on many Toyota owner bulletin boards. I could be something as easy as a corroded wiring harness leading to an ABS sensor in one of the wheels (Toyota obviously does a bad job of insulating the wiring), or a bad ABS sensor (a few hundred $$), all the way to a bad ABS computer ($3K).
At this point of my ownership experience, I'm rethinking about keeping this car. My engine has started the dreaded oil burning issue, and I have to check the level weekly. With this potential $$$ repair ahead of me, I don't want to wait for anything else to happen.
It's obvious that this is a problem across the entire Toyota line (Scion xB, Rav4, Lexus, Tundra, etc. owners reporting), but Toyota is not doing a thing. This is a potential safety issue as all the ABS and VCS systems are turned off when this happens. I'm not happy with Toyota at this point, and this is my second Toyota after a happy experience with a Corolla.
