Hi, I just bought a 2008 xb and love it! However I am having problems with the automatic transmission. I can really feel the shifting from one gear to another especially from 0 to 35 miles per hour. I also feel it dragging when coasting down a long hill. Most of the time I have to keep my foot on the accelerator to keep it from dragging then it shifts real hard. I'm taking it to the dealer but I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem.

I bought a 2008 xb and had a sunroof put in. I noticed when driving it especially around 30 miles an hour that it sounds like a helicopter is in the car. Very booming and loud. If I crack my side window it goes away. Has anyone else had a sunroof put in. I told the company that put it in about it and they said as far as they know they are the first ones in Missouri to put in a sunroof on a xb so they don't know why it's doing this. Thanks

| I bought a new 2008 XB from a dealer on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. Less than 2 months after I bought it the engine died and had to be replaced! I had complained about a noise in the engine but was told I was ok as long as the service engine light didn't come on. Supposedly the balance shaft broke sending metal pieces into the crankshaft preventing oil from getting to the engine. I demanded a new car but I was told the engine is a part and parts are covered by Toyota's warranty. Now I'm hearing the noise again. I thought this would be my best car ever but I am very unhappy and disappointed with Toyota. According to Consumer Reports, Toyota's quality this year has gone down. With what we pay for cars, I think after only two months I should have had the car replaced. If you're thinking of buying one, think long and hard about it. I would NOT do it over again. | |

Just now at 1k miles, started looking for the main engine oil filter. Have a 2008 xb scion. Question: where is it; lower engine block, or is the filter remote from the engine block. Thanks in advance.
