I am writing to report significant safety concerns regarding my 2008 Scion [include model, e.g., tC or xB]. After purchasing the vehicle, I discovered multiple serious mechanical and structural defects that make the car unsafe to operate on public roads. 1.

I just purchased my scion xb in january 2019 and within three weeks I had the oil light flashing so I took it to get an oil change at midtown toyota in chicago. Within a few weeks I noticed that my oil light started flashing again so I checked motor oil and came to find out that I didn't have any oil.

He said yes there was a recall on my vehicle, however the recall had expired...

My scion xb 2008 model was recalled a couple years ago for excessive oil consumption. And I went twice for service at the toyota of naperville, I was told to come back after a certain amount of miles traveled, so that they could recall the car that obviously had a problem with consuming oil.

In consequence of those events, I...

Oil consumption, I went to fewer and apparently my warranty has expired, which I was never informed or never received a notice! Now I'm screwed because I was planning on keeping my car forever and it a problem that needs to be fix by th manufacture! I never was notified and never revived any letters. I was told by toyota customer service that it was probably sent to original owner! Now I need this fixed or I need my full refund if the car can't be fixed without any charge!

I was never informed and I would like to fix the problem on my vehicle. I'm a first time car buyer and I'm planing on keeping my car to as long as I possibly can! Now I would like to speak with someone who can help me fix the oil consumption problem! I need this taken care of , or I will seek legal matter agains you!
