Just an update. Technology was to blame for the starting issues with my first xB. I found out it was most likely my new cell phone causing interference & that in-turn caused the car not to start. |

The problem from September/07, The 2-piece plastic sill between the hood and the windshield not fitting properly, reemerged. However, rather than replacing the bad piece as was done in September, the dealer said it was now 'a design defect'. Paint melted on a spot on the hood. Was told it was due to tree sap and they would not repair. Shop agreed we should look out for tree sap falling on our head and melting skull - true response. Water dispenser for back windshield wiper now drips more than it sprays, as it had done correctly when first purchased. Told they tried to clean with pin and then that is was within specs to drip. Engine running rougher than had been, whether in idle or neutral. Small revs of engine to increase RPM did not remove problem. Was told it only ran rough when AC on and not when it was off. Car runs rough in both cases, more when AC on. 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. Found snag on front passenger seat cover. Not sure whether present when bought car or occurred later. Dealer bought new seat cover to replace one with snag. | ||

problem: whining noise from the engine compartment. At previous oil change in May/09, dealer claimed could not detect the problem. At this oil change (oct/09), Dealer acknowledged problem.

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. | ||

Intermittent missing: codes read 2,3, and all, more or less at random when missing. I asked an old auto parts guy if it might be fuel? He suggested a can of Seafoam. That's what he uses. He said it would be better inside ten minutes if fuel was the problem. It worked. | ||

I bought the parts for a complete brake job from Toyota two years ago and did it in my shop. The car had sat outside for extended periods intermittent with winter driving. After two years the rear callipers were badly seized so I bought front and rear callipers and rotors, as well as pads from RockAuto.com. The brakes are fine now, and likely will remain so for another two years. Intermittent missing combined with CEL reporting misfires on Cylinder 3, then others, then all of them. Cancelling the CEL reset the computer out of limp mode. Bewildered: coils and plugs are virtually new. Auto parts guy suggested Seafoam, a gas additive. Some success, but the problem remains. Might be computer. | ||

Last fall I replaced coils and plugs. I couldn't believe they would be failing again, so I towed the car to Kingston and let the dealer test things for a day and then install nothing but two coils. It runs roughly, as if the other two coils (which I requested) should have been added. The reason they got to work on the car was it was going in anyway for an airbag -- after a two-year delay. Update: The dealer put in a lot of time on the misfire and then replaced a single coil. It runs fine now. No more trouble. Passenger side airbag after a two-year wait for the part. | ||

Rear bumper is falling off. Driver door won't stay open on slight decline (car is leaning into gutter pan). Pushed on door and now it creaks and the window jams. I have the infamous P420 error code. There are so many possible causes that it is hard to know where to start. Ever since the OEM muffler had been replaced with an aftermarket "tip" and cheap muffler, nothing but muffler leaks. Front passenger window control has loosened and "caved in" falling into the door. I conjectured that maybe a thief broke it if trying to unlock the car through a crack in the window. This is a nuisance. After light flurries, I woke early and off to work. It was below freezing and some water may have gotten into the mirror assembly. So...my passenger side view mirror popped and left a perfect clean crack straight down the middle of it !?? | ||

The windshield was cracked when I bought this car, so I had it replaced. The broken windshield significantly depressed the price of the car, which was nice... Their replies as to why they had not fixed the windshield were a little cagey... After buying the car, I learned that cracked windshields are a repeat problem in some Scion Xb's of this era. In retrospect I figured the owner must have had enough of the problem, and didn't want to fix yet another windshield. So far my windshield has held for five months... Crossing my fingers! | ||

First, replaced all spark plugs (nearly 60,000 mile on them, burned to nubs) with NGK (6341) BKR5EIX Iridium IX units ($6.98 ea, shipped - from Amazon Prime). Though performance improved, #3 was still misfiriing. Swapped 3/4 ignition coils to confirm fault, then acquired four OEM Denso 6731306 Ignition Coils (also, from Amazon Prime, @ $58.78 each, shipped - as opposed to $125~$145 from dealer). Installed #3 only, holding others in reserve for the Scion xB or my daughter's 2004 Toyota Echo RS 5-door hatchback (Canadian), which shares the identical driveline. Note: the female ignition coil connectors on the wiring harness are notorious for failure, despite the greatest exercise of caution when removing. Dealer has no listing for individual replacements, offering only an $800~$1,000 complete engine wiring harness as a solution. A modicum of research led to the discovery that they share the identical part with the Toyota Lexus Ignition Coil Connector Plug (#90980-11885), which I acquired new (set of four) on eBay for $11.99. shipped. Haven't installed as yet, since my crossed zip-tie temporary fix has yet to fail... | ||
