the first fix (the loctite TSB) didn't really make much difference. I mentioned it again the next time it was in. That turned into a return trip which lasted 2 days (the car, not me). They ended up replacing some of the rails and base assembly. Not sure exactly what, but I believe they took the entire roof structure off the car (and I have the paint ship to prove it). I didn't realize it was going to be so invasive until it was too late, or I would have said no. ANyway, after all that, it still creaks most of the time, as much or not more than before they tried. At this point, it is what it is, and if I don't want to listen to the noise, I probably have to get a different car. At least they fixed the loose headliner that rattled over bumps (that they couldn't fix earlier), I assume that means they had to take it out to fix the sunroof. |

To the board hosts/moderators..can we start a new 2006 Scion TC thread now that they are out? Can posters do that or do the hosts have to?

I just had the 5k maintanence check, the Toyota mechanic set all four tires to 32psi. After I drove the car for couple of days, the tire pressure warning light came on, I reset it, the light goes off. But everyday, after I drive the car for about 15 minutes, the light comes back on. Anyone experience that problem?

Replying to: aeroluvr (Jun 29, 2005 4:33 am) Is the 2006 model markedly different than the 2005? |
|

Nope, the '06 is the same car, with just a couple of features changing. Also, I believe the TPMS on the tC is a "dumb" one. That is, it doesn't actually know what the pressure is, it just looks for a tire that is different than the rest. So, in theory, if they are all 25 or 40, it won't trigger. Actually, I would have to look in the manual, it might only compare to the other side of the same end of the car. The factory specs are different f/r (something like 32/29), so either the difference is within tollerance, or the TPMS doesn't compare front to back. |

| As I replied in the other thread where I requested the 2006..thanks I understand. I've seen 2006 threads on other models which is why I asked. It would be easier though as right now there are three major threads that "could" apply to 2006 models so one would have to wade though all three huge threads to find any posts applicable to the new 2006 release Scion tC, Scion Owners: Accessories & Modifications and Scion tC Owners: Problems & Solutions. I just thought it would be a lot easier for new visitors as well as existing folks to track owner's experiences with the new year's model - even though there isn't that much that is changed, I'm hoping to find out if the bugs noted with 2005 are now fixed AND how the new options and colors, etc. go over with buyers. I'm sure there will be 2006 "problems and solutions" and comments about "accessories and mods" as well as general commentary..was just hoping to see 2006 all in one place but I understand. | |
| I had the problem with the tire sensor after I got a flat and got a new tire. When I came in for my oil change I told the dealer about it and he reset it and I haven't had a problem since. I'm not sure what he did. | |
