AFTER A MONTH OF OWNING MY 06 SCION TC THE WHEELS STARTED TO SCREECH WHEN REVERSING AND A TIRE STARTED TO LOOSE PRESSURE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 4,500 MILE AND TOLD ME THE CAR WAS RUNNING NORMAL AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE CAUSE THE LIGHT WILL COME ON ANYTIME DRIVING OVER A BUMP DUE TO THE LOW PROFILE TIRE..WELL, NOW AT 29,000 MILES THE WHOLE BACK END OF THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL , THERE'S A TICKING NOISE FROM UPPER/LOWER WINDSHIELD AREA, MY GLOVE BOX RATTLES AND THE AC SWITCH CLICKS LOUDLY. I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AS SOON AS THE CAR STARTED TO RATTLE WHICH WAS THE SAME DAY I HAD GOT MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER SHIP AND BEING SAT I HAD TO WAIT TILL MONDAY TO BRING IT IN. WHEN I TAKE IT IN THEY TAKE A QUICK EXAM OF THE CAR BUY LISTENING TO IT AND SAY EVERYTHING SOUNDS NORMAL TO ME . I TAKE IT TO ANOTHER TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT I TELL THEM THE SAME THING (TIRES SCREECHING, WHOLE END VIBRATING AND TICKING , NOISE BEHIND GLOVE BOX) THEY TAKE A LOOK AND SAY THE KNOCKING NOISE YOU HEAR IS FROM THE SUN ROOF FRAME SO WE ORDERED A PART. THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE AND NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I PICK IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THE LATER THAT EVENING I GO TO START IT TO ROLL THE WINDOWS UP AND THE CAR ROTATES BUT DOESN'T WANT TO START. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THE CAR STARTS I LEAVE IT ALONE AND TEST IT LATER THAT NIGHT IT DOES THE SAME THING AND HASN'T STOPPED SINCE. IF I LEAVE IT SITTING FOR 30 MIN OR LONGER IT DOES THIS. I TAKE IT AND GET IT LOOKED AT AS SOON AS THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OPENS THE NEXT DAY(TODAY MAY 3 2008) AND THEY SAID IT'S MY KEY CAUSING IT AND THAT I NEED TO BY A NEW ONE..I TOLD THEM I HAVE 2 SPARES AND THEY INSISTED I BUY A NEW KEYLESS ENTRY KEY. I SAID IM TAKING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WONT BE ABLE TO GET TO IT TILL MONDAY... *TR
