2005 SCION XB WE HAVE HAD TO PUT THREE WINDSHIELDS IN, FOUR SETS OF TIRES AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT. WE JUST SPENT TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAD TO HAVE THE SEAT BELTS DONE, THE CRUISE CONTROL STUCK ALL THE TIME AND WE NEVER GOT RECALL LETTERS, I WENT ON LINE. I AM SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY SON. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE THREE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENTS, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL ON THIS IS AND WE HAVE CHECKED THE TIRES DAILY. I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION HERE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON 12/08/09 I TOOK MY 09 SCION XD (YOUR FORM DOES NOT HAVE XD OPTION) INTO HOSELTON FOR THE RECALL REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER (12/10/09), I AM DRIVING HOME AND APPROACHING A TURN OFF OF ROUTE 104 TRAVELLING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR (A 55 MPH ROAD) WHEN. I HAD SLOWED DOWN FROM A TOP SPEED OF 45 MPH, BLOWING SNOW AND TRAFFIC WAS SLOW. I GO TO HIT MY BRAKES - I HAVE NO BRAKES, THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. I PUMP THE BRAKES A EVENTUALLY GET A ROUGH (DA,DA,DA) GRAB, THIS COMBINED WITH DOWN SHIFTING ALLOWS ME TO TAKE MY TURN. I CALLED HOSELTON AND THEY WILL SEE ME ASAP. HOWEVER, I COULD GET NO STRAIGHT ANSWER ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD "I YOU (AS IN ME) DON'T THINK IT'S SAFE THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE IT TOWED." AT MY EXPENSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ME ANY INFORMATION ON THE TRUE SAFETY OF MY CARS BRAKING SYSTEM. AND WHAT ACTION I MAY TAKE IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS NOT SAFE. *TR
