2007 Scion TC Problems, complaints & recalls

Clouster

When I bought this car, there was a couple recalls within 5 years of owning. One was fixed. The second was an oil consumption issue that my car passed by 100 miles and I was told it would not be covered. For the last few years the oil consumption has gotten worse. I have to put oil in the car when the light comes on, which is anywhere between 1k and 2k miles. As I'm driving, it can smell of burning, or start shaking, etc.

Car drinking oil, piston ring finally dropped. I was driving and my car started a rough idle then started knocking so I pulled over. They're running tests now but I'm no dummy, this is a piston issue. I brought my car in during the manufacturer suggested window to get this looked at on multiple occasions and they told me my car was asymptomatic despite me explaining that it was drinking excessive oil. If my car engine is ruined because of this toyota will be paying for my new motor or one of their 2 dealerships that kept insisting I was crazy will be paying for that new motor. I've had the car since it was brand new with all the service records to prove that this should not happen.

The engine in this car which is the 2az-fe has defective piston rings which causes the engine to burn an insanely amount of oil. I literally have to add at least a quart of oil a week and I been doing so two years already. I believe that's not normal at all. Contacted toyota to notify them about the issue, and claimed that 'vehicle was out of the 10 year or 150,000 mile warranty'. I'm so disappointed at toyota for that. They also had a period in which you could take your vehicle, but failed to notify their customers.

My air bags in my seats don't work at all. Neither does my air bag in my wheel. The tires shakes when I drive past 60 and the rims are not safe. This should not happen to my child what if she gets in a accident. The seat belt does not buckle and seat will not go back. 95000 Miles and this is rediculious.

My trunk release broke recently (1/25/19) as I was attempting to open the trunk. Contacted dealership and was told toyota was aware of defective part and had offered a warranty enhancement on the trunk release but it expired in 2015. I received no notification. Called toyota today and was told they couldn't do anything for me, either. Was given case #1902062093. If part was defective and they were aware of it I shouldn't be expected to pay $666.90 For replacement just because my trunk release didn't break...

I have to put 1 or 2 quart of synthetic oil after every 1500 miles or so, it cost me alot more than average. Please help me regarding this issue. Thanks and regards . Ali

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

Vehicle burning oil at increasingly fast rate, large oil consumption. No oil light or dashboard warning. As I was driving down the highway my car shut down... I pulled over to the shoulder got out...My car was smoking... Within minutes my car was in flames.

My 2007 tc has a very large oil consumption problem to the point of between oil changes I am putting in about 1.5 Quarts to 2 quarts. The vehicle never has any onboard warnings either I don't get a oil light or low oil light. It is so bad that I have to check my oil daily just to make sure my engine isnt going to blow and usually end up adding oil once to twice a week. I bought the car when there was a service maintenance on the tc for the oil consumption and the dealer I purchased it from never said anything about it having it and I never heard anything about it until after it was over I feel as scion or toyota should have to fix the problem for every scion.

Vehicle burning oil at increasingly fast rate, large oil consumption. No oil light or dashboard warning. The vehicle is in motion, this oil consumption will cause the car to overheat or stall, causing an accident or fire.

Regarding takata recall : hi, I am in need of some help! My 2007 toyota scion has been burning oil often where I am adding oil before oill changes also oil light never turns on even at no oil. My car has been burning over a quart of oil in 1,200 mile from driving it. Now my engine light pops up! Its scary to drive because I feel that at any day if I don't check my oil and it's low, my car will blow up! Toyota needs to fix the problem with the scion cars. I am hoping I can get this fix , I don't have the money to pay for this recall prob that toyota has on this car. Looking for some help and answers. Thanks

I bought toyota scion tc on april 2016 and the odometer reading was 77593 miles. On may 05, 2017 while driving from walmart to my college campus, I heard loud knocking sound coming from the engine. I immediately pulled over the side and had the car towed to my apartment building. The following friday on may 12, 2017, I had the car towed from dallas to our mechanic shop in fort worth. The mechanic called and told me that the engine has ceased. The cost to replace the engine including the labor is $3300. I was having the oil changed every 3000 miles and I was also adding oil every 2 weeks. This excessive oil consumption has resulted in a total engine loss.

My scion tc engine ceased because the engine was burning oil excessively. I was driving from college to home when my car start making loud noise and I pulled over on the side of the road. I had car towed to the mechanic shop and he told me that my engine is ceased and it cost me about $3000 to replace the engine.

I purchased the car in oct, 2015. Around dec 2016 I noticed the car was burning oil at an unusual rate. April of 2017 I replaced the gaskets and a week later at only 850 miles the engine was bone dry, no oil at all. The oil light does not come on it will ony flicker for a second. I have almost blown my engine numerous times. I have had to pull into gas stations to put oil in just to make it home. Toyota is fully aware of the problem and has done nothing for the consumers. This will be a very expensive fix if we every figure out the problem. I've already spent $160 and the numerous oil changes.

I always change my oils reguarlly. I can never make it to my next oil change, having to top off the oil every other week at least.

Recall on faulty parts (pistons) creating my car to burn oil to where I have to add oil almost every 1000 miles or get my oil changed. When I tried to contact a toyota dealer in reference to the recall I received a runaround for months until they told me my car no longer fell under the warranty because it was 2k miles over the warranty criteria.

My 2007 scion tc, is experiencing excessive oil consumption believed to be from defective piston rings designed by the manufacturer. This will inevitably lead to engine failure, and is already an extremely expensive fix. My car no longer falls under the standard toyota powertrain warranty (60 months / 60k miles). But has less than 85,000 miles on it. Toyota will do nothing to fix this problem that has affected multiple model/years of their cars with the engine 2az-fe.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 scion tc. While driving at unknown speeds, the brakes failed and the contact crashed into the rear of a trailer. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The driver sustained a sprain and bruises to the shoulder, neck, and hand, which required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

I have driven 1270 mile since my last oil change. My oil light doesn't come on and stay on when the oil is low or empty. It will give a quick flash. When I checked it today, 1/27/17 it was 2 1/2 quarts low. The car only holds 3 quarts. When I took it in about 4 weeks ago for its regular change there was no oil in it at all. I could have blown my engine because I didn't know! The light doesn't come on. It has been checked for leaks and there are none. It has been made clear that I have to do an oil change ever 1200 miles not the normal 3000. This issue is unsafe because I can be driving and without warning blow my engine. *Tr

EXCESSIVE OIL IS BEING LOST IN THE ENGINE.

Engine locked up and needs to be replaced. I was told there was no oil in the engine at all, which seems to be due to a design defect causing no excessive engine oil consumption. I was driving on the interstate and barely made it the shoulder when the car seized up and died. No low oil light ever came on. If someone was driving in heavier traffic, the car could shut off in an active driving lane. *Tr

Takata recall... As I was driving speed limit (60-65mph) on the freeway at around 11:30pm (10/21/16), driving on the 2nd lane. There was some debris on the road as I hit a pot hole my rear passenger tire pops. I instantly lose control as I see the semi-truck in the 3rd lane (truck lane). I tried to avoid the truck but the car took me into that direction. As my car slightly went under the truck, the trucks rear passenger tires ram over the top of the passenger side of the hood and my air bags never deployed. As I...

Oil consumption recall required multiple vehicles including my 2007 scion tc are plagued the manufacturing defect which is causing vehicles to consume excessive amounts of oil. Toyota announced an "enhanced warranty" to repair the problem but there is little to no progress for the majority of owners because they are delaying the release of parts for repair. I spoke to multiple service advisers at different locations who all said toyota does not want to take the upfront charge to repair all the affected vehicles....

The rear hatch is poorly designed and has broken off under normal wear and tear. This is a known issue with this model vehicle and should be covered.
