2012 Scion XB Problems, complaints & recalls

My wife and I were driving down the road and all of a sudden we heard a very loud bang and attempted to maintain control of the vehicle. The pavement was smooth free of any imperfections. I was able to pull the vehicle off the road. Upon reviewing the vehicle I noticed the passenger side rear wheel completely lodged into the wheel well. I had no indication that this was going to occur. We are fortunate this didn't happen on the highway as the outcome would have been alot different.

Driver was traveling at 75 mph when the hood suddenly released. Both latches failed and the hood flew up against the windshield with enough force to crease the hood and dent the roof. Inside the vehicle, the done light and the rear view mirror were knocked loose. Incident occurred at night with no other traffic on the road and Driver was able to pull over without further incident. If there had been other vehicles, the sudden lack of visibility would likely have resulted in a crash.

Engine is burning oil.

I have to add oil every 500 to 800 miles no visible smoke from engine or exhaust when cold or hot. ???? HELP

White paint is peeling exposing many of the car panels which are starting to rust (structural damage)

The contact owns a 2012 Scion XB. The contact stated that the vehicle was exhibiting excessive engine oil consumption. The contact stated that the oil pressure warning light would illuminate approximately 1,000 miles prior to the next scheduled oil change. The contact stated that the oil pressure warning light recently illuminated less than a month after the previous oil change; 2,500 miles prior to the next oil change. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine was...

Noticed the oil pressure light came on when I turned a corner. Immediately took it to dealer, where I have all scheduled maintenance done (except once). Car was found to have no oil in it before scheduled maintenance. This happened 6 months previously and was thought to be a pvc plug issue. Was told it was due to a known issue with excessive oil consumption due to worn piston rings, ultimately the fault of the requirement of ethanol in gasoline. Solution - keep checking the oil and add as needed. Not worth repairing the piston rings.

Recall id287614 nhtsa campaign #18e091000 my vehicle was involved in an accident on jan 10th, due to failure of brakes. My car ran a red light and hit another car. My car has been totaled in this accident. I have since contacted toyota about my accident and they have refused to help compensate for my loss. My car was towed to the insurance company and is no longer accessible for inspection. I would like for toyota to take some responsibility for this accident. I have not fully recovered from losing my vehicle financially and I do believe 100% that this recall was the cause of the accident. Attached is the documents from my insurance company and pictures of the vehicle.

White paint. The paint starting flaking off in large sheets on it's own, no connection to vehicle damage, weather, etc. Paint is now gone from my entire roof, half the hood, multiple other places. Continues chipping and flaking, car is only 8 years old and this is an obvious defect. Been happening for over a year, about 1/3 of the paint on my car is now gone. Can provide lots of pictures.

The paint is peeling off from entire roof and other parts of the car. It started with just a few small spots and then quickly progressed to large sheets of paint falling off. I contacted local body shop and I was told that it was unusual paint problem and, they suggested contacting toyota dealer. So I did. Toyota service rep told me that they were very aware of the issue with the paint however, since the car is out of warranty, they said that there was nothing they could do to help. They gave me phone number,...

Takata recall purchased this vehicle august 2017 and was not aware or told about recall until received this notice in the mail this month 2-2018

Takata recall-i have received several recall notices and have been to the local toyota dealer several times. So far there has been no action taken by the dealer to repair my vehicle. I have requested a rental car until my vehicle is safely repaired, but the dealer tells me that when a rental becomes available I will be notified. It has been at least 6 months since I started this process with the dealer and I have never been called about obtaining a rental vehicle. I have filed a complaint on line already about this...

Takata recall, I have had a problem with my toyota scion xb, the passenger seat air bag is defective and I had received a notice that no one should ride in that seat until the airbag can be replaced.

I received a 2nd letter just last week that said contact my toyota dealer (which I did) for replacement of the bag. I just tried that and the "parts" are not all in...Why...

Takata recall there's been a recall since january and we are in the end of august so would like to get my car fixed as soon as possible.

"Takata recall" I was notified of the recall over 6 months ago and there is still no remedy, I have a 7 year old that rides with me, my concern, even with him in the back is anything that becomes a projectile in an accident will hurt him, when will this be fixed?
