Scion XD Electrical problems by year

A reca for my power switch master control was issued on sept 15th 2015 and a fix for this still has not been established. This defect could cause a fire in my vehicle.

2009 Toyota scion. Consumer writes in regards to problem with electrical system. *Ld the consumer stated while driving, the radio independently turned on and of and the dash lights flashed. The vehicle shut down. The consumer was advised the alternator failed. *Js

My battery went dead while I was at work as I had left the lights on. When it was time to go home, I was unable to unlock my doors with the key fob. There was one place to unlock the door manually and it was the driver door. I unlocked that and reached over to unlock the passenger door. I reached back to unlock the rear doors from the inside and was unable to do so. There was no way to open the rear doors. If there would have been anyone in the rear of the car they would not have been able to get out. I find this a huge scary safety problem. What if I would have had children in safety seats in the vehicle. They would have been trapped.

The dealer that would be able to perform the repair only does recall work during the week I unfortunately work monday through friday during normal business hours. Which I can not take time off for as they say it might take all day and I depend on my car for business I asked to speak with the manager at autonation toyota in fort myers florida but was told that is the only option. This is completely unacceptable as there are 2 safety recalls one involving my seats and the other involving a window switch that could catch fire. I originally tried in november to schedule this but to no avail. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 scion xd. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and failed to start intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was serviced under an unknown recall, but the failure recurred. In addition, the front passenger side window switch operated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger side window switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact...

When I tried to roll the passenger window down, a plume of smoke came out of the master control panel. At first, I thought I was imagining it, but the button froze into place. I took my scion into a dealership for 2 recall notice repairs (driver's seat railing and intake manifold assembly) and mentioned the window control panel problem and my concern as to whether or not there was a risk of a fire. The service tech said that my car was not part of the recall? I am concerned as to whether or not my car is going to catch on fire and am curious to know if this has been an ongoing problem with the newer model scion xds? *Tr

While car running on the local road, approx. 40 Mph, rear window from driver side rolled down itself and a lot of smoke started coming out from power window master switch controls and from driver side window, inside. Two of four switches from master switch control then melted and pushed all the way down, seems like the bottom part of those switches caught fires or something, however, no fire was visible from the exterior. Was then pulled to the business parking lot and turned off the engine. The smoke then slowly...

About a year after I bought the car (at concord toyota, concord, ca), my power locks started malfunctioning one by one. They fixed it because I was still on the factory warranty, but a year later, the front locks stopped working again. They were fixed. In 2013, the two front locks stopped working again. The problem is, now I don't have any warranty coverage and they want to charge me around $500 to fix each lock. Not only is it not fair because it's been something that's been happening continuously for years, but now the back door locks stop and start working at random all the time. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this issue. *Js

Purchased this car brand new. Was assured of toyotas 200 point safety inspection. Shortly after driving this car home I noticed that I never received a spare key and the horn didn't work (the first line of defense in driving safety). I returned to the dealership and asked if they took the fuse out to prevent the horn from sounding, they said "no, they never take any fuses out". They did not want to replace the fuse at first. They told me to go home and come back during service hours (i work, I already drove 30...
