What do you find wrong with the factory wires?
Is it true there is no buzzer working with the security on Scion tC?
I have security installed, but I don't hear any sound when I lock or unlock my tC.
Thanks.
I bought the filter but have not a clue as to where to look.
I noticed that each of the 3 dealers define the 15K service differently. You guessed it, 2 of the 3 are adding pricey services that aren't listed in the service manual for the 15K service.
I recommend everyone check their service manual and make an informed decision regarding maintenance. At least pure pricing allows easy cross-comparison.
Appreciate any thoughts about this.
I would prefer a Scion rep did the work, but I was not prepared to spend that much at 15K.
The manual both says that you can get maintenance work outside of dealership, but it also says somewhere else that it "may" not void warranty. What this means, I hope I don't have to find out. :confuse:
Anyone else who does there own work or gets it elsewhere? How does dealer respond to warranty afterwards?
I have great dealer service and all the work is done there except for the tires (after the first set).

please consult any front wheel drive toyota factory or haynes manual for an illustration of this, then it will all be clear :P
also all recalls will be covered at your scion dealer. again you dont need to be a regular customer. as long as it says scion and you have your recall paper work its covered free of charge.
question for ya, I recently purchased a used 2005 XB and LOVE the little box...it is a second vehicle that me and pets love..however since I now own two vehicles it's a tight fit in the garage and recently I snagged the bumper while trying to fit into the garage..any pointers on repairing a scratch to the front bumper without having to completely replace? it's a clean straight line...thanks all,
M.

PROBLEM:
Water enters the driver's side door and dribbles onto the floor when it rains. The water accumulates on the outside of the door sill and makes its way into the car. Water entry is documented by placing newspaper on the floor, flush against the base of the door sill.
SOLUTIONS? NONE SO FAR.
At first Toyota/Scion denied there was a problem because they couldn't duplicate it. It leaked for me but not for them when they did the hose test. Maddening & frustrating.
Recently they finally determined that water enters when the car is on a slight slope towards the street gutter. The slope is only 5 degrees, following the camber of the street.
The door seals have been replaced twice. The car still leaks.
A vapor barrier was installed in the door. The car still leaks.
Carpeting was replaced after intial complaint -- soaked & moldy. The car still leaks.
The A/C is not the cause of the problem. The car still leaks.
The dealership & Scion claim nobody else has this problem. My car still leaks.
MY CONCLULSION: STRUCTURAL DEFECT/DESIGN FLAW
This car is a LEMON & Toyota/Scion are incapable of fixing the problem.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO? IS THERE A SOLUTION?
I'm sick & tired of this situation & being given the runaround by a bunch of incompetents.
Thanks for listening, Tinkuy
The mechanic on Motorweek (PBS TV) also stated that Toyota is recommending those fluids be flushed on their vehicles every 24K miles. Does anybody know the correct spec on these flushes?
I have 55K on my '05 Box and will probably get BG flushes and the 60K service at independant garages in the next month.
It would seem that if it were the "roads" at any rate sometimes it would drift right or left but I have about an 85% (of the time) left drift, while only rarely will the xB drift right. Am I imagining all this? Any one else have anything similar to this? Something just doesn't feel right.
I think it may be a bad tire or something off-kilter with one of your tires. Just having one tire with less or more air in it can cause the problem you're describing. Go to your dealer for this-they're responsible for making it right for you.
We're paying a lot of money for our new cars and even though Kia's and Scion's and Mitsubishi's are low cost automobiles(generally)we are paying enough for them to expect a decent riding rig. Go get it fixed and please report back what the problem was so we can all learn what needed to be done to correct it, OK?

Scion is FULL of crap about not having "heard of this problem before." They've been giving me the runaround for a year now. Good luck.
Too many attempts to repair it & no resolution.
Toyota is repurchasing the vehicle (full price) since the xA has gone out of production.
I'm glad to be getting rid of the car. It's been a giant headache.
TIA
