#110 of 149 xA static?? by lenzai Apr 10, 2007 (5:56 pm)
I was wondering if there are any xA owners out there (other than myself) who get shock all the times when they exit their vehicle? Every time when I fully got out of the car and touch the door (to close it), I got a big shock from it. I was wondering if this is the way I drive, the area I live in, or just my xA? Does anyone know how to prevent a shock like that? Thanks!

Replying to: tinkuy (Apr 05, 2007 6:27 am) I'm glad to hear Toyota finally decided to buy back your xA since they jerked you around long enough. After 6 trips to my dealership to resolve the leak problem they finally fixed it. A field engineer installed and reconfigured a new vapor barrier and the leaking has stopped. Should there be any more problems the case manager at Scion said they'll have to replace the car. I wish you better luck with your new Matrix!

Replying to: scie (Apr 20, 2007 8:29 am) Glad to hear your water entry problems were solved. Do keep a close eye on it. My xA continues to leak intermittently after several attempts to fix it. It sounds as if Toyota FINALLY acknowledges that some Scions are leaking s. Obviously we're not the only cases.   What new Matrix????? I'm still being jerked around by Toyota. I ordered a Matrix on Feb. 23rd. Nothing yet. Now the dealer tells me they'll order a new car from the factory in May, and it won't arrive until sometime in June.   This has really turned into a farce!

Replying to: scie (Apr 20, 2007 8:29 am) Where is this vapor barrier? Is it the plastic sheet inside the door that keeps the cardboard door panel dry? So if this plastic sheet is not installed just right, water also gets out of the door and into the car? Replies to this message: tinkuy (Apr 25, 2007 8:29 pm) sbrown4 (May 10, 2007 5:21 am)
#116 of 149 a 2008 or 2006 xB by lingnan Apr 25, 2007 (6:37 pm)
Hello everyone,   I am currently is in market for a new Scion xB. Since they are not making no more new model except for 2008, can any one spare the time and tell me whether i should buy the 2006 model or wait for the new 2008 which has bigger engine and different appearance. Thank you for your input, regardless. Besides, you folks are hosting a nice forum here.   Lingnan Replies to this message: aatherton (Apr 26, 2007 6:21 pm) lingnan (Apr 27, 2007 8:04 am)

Replying to: aatherton (Apr 25, 2007 11:29 am) The vapor barrier, as I understand it, is that Tyvek-like material inside the structure of the door. My suspicion is that the leaking problem in xAs goes far beyond the vapor barrier & door & window seals, since Toyota attempted to fix those items repeatedly in my vehicle and the damn car still leaks. Must be some fundamental design flaw. Replies to this message: sbrown4 (May 10, 2007 5:21 am)

Since you apparently do not already have a particular need or preference for the smaller 2006, and since the 2006 is now "take what you can find", you may as well order a 2008 they way you like it.
