2006 Toyota Scion xA owner complaints

Vapor canister and filter failure due to unknown causes, this effects the emissions and mileage per gallon drop. After contacting multiple dealerships they told me this has been a common problem with my model car and all dealers have been flooded with this kind of problem with Toyota's as well. I was told that a technical service bulletin had been issued on this problem due to the design problem in the EVAP system. *tr

As many people have already reported I have a 2006 Scion xa. The check engine light came on so I took it to the dealership. The car only has 52,000 miles on it and I bought it brand new. They stated it was a charcoal canister that needed to be replaced and it was not under warranty or covered by anything. They want $784.00 plus tax to fix the issue. With so many people having this problem I do not see how they can get away with making customers pay for this on basically brand new cars. *tr

Charcoal canister/EVAP/fuel filler tube problem. Same as was listed on the technical service bulletin for Scion xas and the like. I have a 2006 Scion xa. I am still under warranty and they're telling me they won't even cover this under the warranty. *tr

I own a 2006 Scion xa and very recently the check engine light came on. I had it diagnosed..."p2401 evaporate leak detection pump control circuit". The charcoal canister and some other small parts are ruined due to water leakage. I am one of many Scion owners who now has to pay major parts and labor charges to have this fixed. It should most certainly be covered under warranty for the life of the car, not just for the first 50,000! *tr

Failure of emissions in Scion x-a. Check engine light comes on. Told it was gas nozzle and charcoal canister. *tr

My Scion ax 2006 was recalled due to a flashing airbag warning light. The dealer made the light go out, fixed it last year 2018. Now the light came on again and they want to charge me $199 to just check it, no repair included. It appears to be an additional airbag defect and I should not have to pay for that. There is no reason for the warning light other than a defect. What can I/you do????

While driving my 2006 Scion xa westbound i80 utah accident occurred at mile marker 150 while taking a left hand turn passengers front tire encountered black ice sending the car into the cement barrier.

2006 scion XA The dash light indicator for pass airbag stays on, showing problem with that system. Toyota had a recall and my car was supposedly fixed this problem, only to have same problem again 4 mos past the 1 year warranty on repairs. I contacted toyota...they sent me an email saying they would get back to me, and gave me a case #[XXX]. 5 mos. later had not heard from them...so called them. They said they were sorry but I was past the 1 yr warranty on recall repair. I can't understand why NHTSA allows mfg to do temporary repairs on defective systems, and kick the can down the road until consumer is responsible for further repairs, when it should have be fixed right in the 1st place.

I own an 2006 Scion xa and I having trouble to start the engine when it's get warm or normal operating temperature. When the engine is cold like on mornings it star right away with a few cranks but after it's gets warm I to crank times stop cranking and crank it again until engine start, cars run fine and got no check engine code on it.

I own a 2006 Scion xa. I have had to replace three of the electric window controls, and the emission system keeps having problems. Check engine light keeps going on. This happens when the vehicle is running, in motion and stationary.

Hello, I have already replaced three electrical motors for my 2006 Scion xa. I see several other Scion's on the recall for this. I would say my Scion xa should be on as well. I have spent over $1,300 on these repairs, as well as other repairs.

I was on the highway and using cruise control. When I tried to turn it off, the light went off, but the vehicle continued to hold speed. The I tried to engage the cruise control and decelerate/accelerate, but the only effect was accelerating up to 80mph. Stepping on the brakes only slowed the vehicle down and didn't disengage the cruise control. I tried to shift the gears to neutral and still no effect except the engine revving to the red line. So I floored the brakes and could only slow the vehicle down to 20mph. Worried about what else may happen, I exited the highway and turned on to a street. Seeing no other options, I chose to just turn the engine off. At that point the power brakes stopped working and the car was still rolling. So I shifted the gear to park and we stopped abruptly.

Sudden acceleration incident. First time it happened. 2006 Scion xa. Driving back from n.m. On I-25. Going approx. 65 MPH. Was passing car on right when came to a hill. Had to accelerate. Suddenly car engine revved up, made a loud noise and rapidly accelerated. I couldn't slow it down because the brakes wouldn't work. I managed to get around the car and tried to slow down the car so that I could get off on the right shoulder and stop the car. Somehow managed to slow the car enough (I'm not sure how because the brakes wouldn't work) to get off on the right shoulder. Pulled the emergency brake to stop the car and turned it off. Tried to start it again, and it was doing the same thing. Turned it off and waited for awhile. Finally turned the car back on, and it was operating normally.

Our 19 year old daughter was driving the vehicle on the morning of the accident. She was exiting a shopping center complex and although the vehicle's acceleration pedal was slightly pressed the vehicle would not accelerate and acted as the brakes were depressed in place of the accelerator. The vehicle suddenly lunged forward out of control and would not respond when she applied the brakes. The vehicle spun around headed in the opposite direction striking a tree head on with the passenger side of the vehicle. The problem is a result of a defective acceleration system which has been denied by Toyota. There are no floor mats in the vehicle which could have caused the car to accelerate without her intending to.

Scion xa 2006 with just 46000 (mostly highway!) miles did not pass emissions test due to diagnostic codes: p2401, p043e, po43f, p2419, p2402 indicating 'evaporation leak/emission problems. Toyota customer relations stated the repair was not under warranty and refused to help me with the cost of repair - see case #: 1310120509. The dealer charged me $588.39 (after a discount of $95.00 diagnostic fee) to install 'charcoal canister, fuel filler neck, fuel tank filler holder, & charcoal filter sub-assy.' the fact that it is standard for a car with less than 50,000 miles to fail an emissions test should not be considered in compliance with epa standards. Toyota is charging consumers the cost of repairing a defective evaporation system in order to comply with epa standards therefore the nht

Check engine came on around 47,000 miles, mechanic said problem with emissions, would cost at least $500 to fix, but not covered by Toyota federal emission warranty anymore since mileage is over 36,000. *tt

Check engine light came on at about 50k miles. Dealer checked it out and the sensors indicated that the charcoal canister assembly was defective, along with the charcoal filter. Including parts and labor this repair coasted me $557. My car is only 3 yeas old!!! Moreover, for the assembly part I was charged $327 whereas I found the part on-line for $230. *tr

Hi! I bought 2006 Scion xa. While driving the vehicle it seems to make noise while I'm backing up and step on the brake. It sounds like something is going to fall off the back. I am scared to go for a long drive. Also, when it's raining I have a feeling that my car is going to lose control and it could cause an accident. I am willing to get an inspection at no cost to me, so I can keep vehicle without worrying. I greatly appreciate that,thanks and god bless! *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 Toyota Scion xa. The contact stated that the latch located on the top of the back seat, which holds the seat in position, failed. This poses a huge safety hazard for occupants seated in the back seat because they could become injured if the seat falls out of position. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 15,000.
