[jwaj2002]

this is what I have gotten on the cruise control issue stated in another thread from a sales manager here in arkansas, this is an exact copy of what they recieved. ATTENTION: DEALER PRINCIPALS, GENERAL MANAGERS and other DEALER DEPARTMENT MANAGERS This is a follow-up on the GST Scion Xa and Xb Speed Control Stop Sale. On 1-12-07 at 3:40pm GST initiated a stop sale on all Scion Xa and Xb vehicles equipped with a GST LIO installed speed (cruise) control (accessory code "SC") or a DIO, dealer installed speed control purchased from Gulf States Toyota. GST has worked diligently with the speed control manufacturer and will commence shipping you the necessary part to repair your dealer in stock units on Wednesday January 24, 2007. By Friday January 26, 2007 you should receive the correct quantity of replacement parts (part # 00012-01809) to repair your in stock units. Please watch for these parts to arrive. Note: You do not need to order any of these parts for in stock units at this time they are being shipped to you.

The claim filing instructions will be on the Dealer Daily Warranty Web page Firday January 26, 2007 as well. The consumer recall notifications will be forthcoming in Febuary 2007 pending NHTSA approvals. This means you are to stop using your CC or SC immediately! the thing will not shut off in some cases!

Um, how do you know if your effected? Any xA/xB with dealer installed CC?

[jwaj2002]

yep, your from texas you might ask your dealer, ask if they bought it from gulf states toyota

[xBtenchu]

Car was purchased in Wisconsin. So I would assume not? I just dont wanna go to the dealer and look like a complete ____ tard.

[jwaj2002]

call the dealer you bought it from and see if they got the stop sale

[xBtenchu]

Okay. Will do. Hopefully they'll answer me about that, since they've ____ed me with every other call.

[jwaj2002]

you could probably have the GM at the local dealer look and tell you, I'm not sure if its nation wide or not

So what production year(s) did the effect?? Mine has cruise and was purchased new by the first owner here in FL also.

I bought my car on November 27, 2006, and I had the cruise control installed in December.

I have not doubts that my cruise control was purchased through Gulf.

I've never had any problems with it, but I guess I'll give my dealer a call.
