2008 Scion xB 4dr Hatch
158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 101000 mi US $1000 |
Clutch went bad, it was impossible to shift into gear. Gear grinding even with the clutch down. |
| 13000 mi | When first bought, car on a driveway with minimum drainage slope did not move when in 1st and with parking brake off (suggested solution from dealer for problem with parking brake not releasing completely). NOW it rolls back, stops, rolls again, etc. |
| 29000 mi US $52 |
Clutch appears to be slipping in 3-5 gears, especially going up hill. Dealer could not detect, and did not inspect clutch. Dealer said tires tread gone and that was the slipping. Latter may be true, but I KNOW what a clutch slips is vs. a tire slip. |
| 109000 mi US $215 |
Left Side axle seal leaking. Removed axle and replaced seal. re-installed axle etc. Dealer stated it was a SLIGHT leak that could wait if needed. I drive minimum 92 miles/day, so i had it fixed. |
