#95 of 149 Re: CRACKING DRIVERS SIDE ARM REST. [albs] by joesbar Feb 02, 2007 (9:41 pm)

I would take it to your Scion dealer and ask them to check all of the front end parts. If they say they've already done that then ask them what they think it could be. A new Scion xB shouldn't pull to the side like that.   I think it may be a bad tire or something off-kilter with one of your tires. Just having one tire with less or more air in it can cause the problem you're describing. Go to your dealer for this-they're responsible for making it right for you.   We're paying a lot of money for our new cars and even though Kia's and Scion's and Mitsubishi's are low cost automobiles(generally)we are paying enough for them to expect a decent riding rig. Go get it fixed and please report back what the problem was so we can all learn what needed to be done to correct it, OK? Replies to this message: joesbar (Feb 03, 2007 10:54 am)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 03, 2007 9:21 am) A crazy thing is to; I was felt put on the spot by them, being told "well, you are entitled to one free alignment at up to 20k miles, do you want to use it now?" The car HAD 500 miles on it when we were discussing the problem! Should that really count towards my one free alignment? It's not like it was something I had done to the car by putting miles on it etc, it seems it came this way.
#98 of 149 No, at 500 miles they should be by iluvmysephia1 Feb 04, 2007 (4:20 am)
concerned about the problem and try to take care of it. It shouldn't pull to one side like that.

Replying to: scie (Jan 23, 2007 1:55 pm) scie: please let me know if rain leak has been diagnosed and/or fixed. My 2006 xA has started leaking again. The seals were replaced again in Nov. & it's been a dry winter until now. All it takes is steady rain & a slight tilt to the right for water to come in through the base of the driver's side door.   Scion is FULL of crap about not having "heard of this problem before." They've been giving me the runaround for a year now. Good luck. Replies to this message: belle5 (Mar 29, 2007 8:03 pm) tinkuy (Mar 29, 2007 10:08 pm) belle5 (Apr 04, 2007 8:54 pm) and 10 more...
#100 of 149 My Xa is full of hot air! by belle5 Mar 23, 2007 (9:28 pm)
I LOVE my Xa. Except, it recently started (or I finally noticed) that the incoming fresh air through the vents is quite a bit warmer than the outside air, even when the temp is set to the coldest setting. At first I thought it was my imagination, but this evening it was pretty clear that the air blowing in was MUCH warmer than the outside air. Even when the fan is turned off, the "drift" air is uncomfortably warm at times, and I don't necessarily want to turn on the a/c (and the fan) when it's cool outside. Anyone else seen this?

Replying to: tinkuy (Feb 14, 2007 8:07 pm) Have you ever seen www.tundrasolutions.com? I went to www.ask.com and typed in "Scion Xa repair problems" and found references on www.tundrasolutions.com to TSB's for the leaking problem (evaporative drain hose?) and the "pulling to the side" problem. In fact, my dealer gives alignment checks and free alignments -- so someone realizes some of these things are real problems. My 2006 Xa has weird ventilation problems -- it doesn't seem able to pull in outside fresh air. No luck on my first attempt with the dealer. Stay tuned. Hope you can get some help and some answers. I love this little car, but the weird problems can suck the fun out of it. Take care.

Replying to: belle5 (Mar 29, 2007 8:03 pm) Toyota finally acknowleged my leaking 2006 xA is a Too many attempts to repair it & no resolution. Toyota is repurchasing the vehicle (full price) since the xA has gone out of production. I'm glad to be getting rid of the car. It's been a giant headache.

#103 of 149 changing wiper blades by infael Mar 31, 2007 (11:37 am)
Replying to: sighon6 (Apr 22, 2006 1:31 pm) How can I change wiper blades on my Scion xB?   TIA   infael Replies to this message: aatherton (Apr 01, 2007 8:02 am)

Replying to: infael (Mar 31, 2007 11:37 am) You can either buy new rubbers and slide them into the blades, which is cheaper but more time-consuming, or buy complete new blades and clip them into the wiper arms.
