Almost there.

tcva

05 tc with 35k miles

My transmission is a lemon. It about to explode. Going in for service this saturday. I didnt have a chance to warm up the car so when i geared it into drive the brake pedal was shaking from the rumble of the transmission. SOmething is seriously haywired in my trans.

Could it be a motor mount issue? These cars have those? (The issues, I know they have motor mounts.)

I just need a couple more 2006s to include that year in the data collection this month.

If anyone's interested, I posted the latest results a couple weeks ago:

I'd like to have the tC among these in future quarterly updates.

i have 38k on my 2005 tc that i got in november 04. may 04 my passenger side window wouldn't go down. took it in, it was a "bad master switch" replaced under warrenty.

then i had a problem with my sun roof wind deflector not going down and blocking the sun roof from closing. they cleaned, greased and adjusted the track.

my inner fender came out because it wasn't properly re-installed when they dealership installed my cold air intake.

then there were the two recalls for the wind deflector coating, and the side airbag problem.

i'm curious how much data you would need on the scion tc. i mean the engine came from the camry, and the chassis came from the toyota avenis in europe. can't be too hard to combine the data to predict

2006 tC, side panel popped off, was fixed under warranty. Gas neck rusting, they don't care. Other than that no issues other than the common ratlles all people face.

Thanks for all the replies, but I still need a few more owners signed up before I can start collecting data on the tC. It feels like I've been a few cars from the minimum for a month or two...

I just signed up with my 06 tc

SCIONOSIS

05' SSM tC with 33k on ODO

Minor brake noises when reversing. More often in cold mornings.

Just minor things. No big deal.

1. Rear ended a year and a half ago
2. Pass. door dinked. 8 months ago
3. Left rear qtr. panal dented 2 months ago.

On my survey, people only report things that they asked the dealer to take a look at, and currently I only analyze things that were successfully repaired.

I'd like to also track problems that people simply live with, but that would require more work from people. So I've chosen to focus on repairs.

I should also mention that accident damage should not be reported on my survey. Not something the manufacturer can control...

05 tc 5 speed with 27,500

Just got the oil changed today at brakes plus, and they noticed the oil pan gasket needs replacing. I knew that there was something wrong under there because there is a slight drip on the garage floor. Taking it in Tuesday to have it looked at by Toyota. First Mechanical thing gone wrong since owning it

^^^Year would be nice

I've been 3-4 cars short of the minimum for months. Surely there are three more owners out there willing to help with this. If so, I'll start collecting data on the tC in July.

Most I have for any model: 129, for the 2007 Nissan Versa.

I have a 2006 Scion tC

49k miles on it

It's been slammed in the side by another car while parked.

I took the side view mirror off after hitting a construction barrel on the highway going 60

I have got all scheduled oil changes right on time when I supposed to and have had the tires rotated 2 or 3 times (still on the stock tires and rims).

I have not had a single issue with the car (knock on really hard wood here)

Notice I have an '06 and already have 49k on the damn thing. I don't think anyone drives more than me around here...haha...except maybe my friend...but he sold his Scion tC for a Honda....BOOOO

Somnambulated

Right. Wait until you hit 15k+, then post about how you have no rattles. I was the same way at 5k miles.

Overall though, it's a very reliable car.

Insomnya3AM

At 4k miles, mine wouldn't start and the dealer didn't know why.

I'm starting a lemon thread to attempt to motivate the dealer to fix my issue. It's a reoccuring problem.

07 with auto.. no complaints 19,000 bought sept of 06

I noticed the latest results do not include the tC yet. Any status update on when it will be posted? I'm interested in finding out the real results. Not hearing about a parked tC being hit or someone doing their own oil changes. Thanks!
