| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE | I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON DELAWARE STATE HIGHWAY 1 TOWARDS OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND, MAINTAINED A CONSTANT SPEED OF 50 MPH WHEN THE TAIL PIPE ON THE SCION XB 2005 RELEASED SERIES 2.0 FELL OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT BOUNCED AGAINST THE ROAD, FLEW UP, AND HIT THE SUV DRIVING BEHIND ME IN THE WINDSHIELD. FORTUNATELY, THE WINDSHIELD DID NOT CRACK, AND THE DRIVER , AFTER WE BOTH PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DROVE OFF WITHOUT INCIDENT. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE TAIL PIPE. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES ON IT, AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN EXCELLENT WORKING CONDITION WITH FREQUENT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, I NOTE THAT POOR WELDING ON THE TAIL PIPES OF THE RELEASE SERIES 2.0 HAS BEEN RECORDED FREQUENTLY ONLINE. SEE, HTTP://WWW.SCIONLIFE.COM/FORUMS/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?T=105750. ONLY 2500 OF THE CARS WITH THIS MUFFLER WERE PRODUCED, AND OVER A DOZEN COMPLAINTS WERE EASILY OBSERVABLE ONLINE. I WAS HAPPY THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS AN SUV INSTEAD OF A MOTORCYCLE, AS THE FLYING TAILPIPE COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED A MOTORCYCLE DRIVER. I AM PRESENTLY ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE PART, BUT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WA SNO LONGER AVAILABLE. SCION HAS REPLIED THAT THE DEALER NEEDED TO SEARCH FOR THE PART NUMBER VIA THE VIN NUMBER, AND I AM AWAITING THE RESULT ON THIS COUNT.*AK |
