The airbag light comes on after driving a few miles. Car taken to dealer and I was told it was the electrical cable inside the steering column that had "failed". this is the part that controls airbag deployment. I asked if the company (Toyota) would assist with the replacement, and was told "no. Some just fail. That's part of owning a car." The part is on order, and the repair is going to cost $530 - $300 for the part, $100 labor and $130 for the diagnosis. All this for a part that "_failed_" this happened under normal driving conditions and I was _not_ in an accident of any sort, nor did I contribute to its failure. This part _failed_- wondering if the part is defective and what assistance Toyota will give me.

We have changed the left and right side wheel shaft bearings 5 times. The bearings last about 5000 miles then have to be replaced. This is a constant problem.

On June 15, 2009 I was parking my 2005 Toyota Scion Xa in my parking space at work. All of a sudden my car accelerated and the engine raced and took off over the bumper into the wall. I was unable to control the car because the brakes totally failed. When I pressed the brakes they just went all the way to the floorboard. My car is currently at the Toyota dealership. Luckily I was not hurt but my car is a mess. When I explained the incident to the dealership, they did not seem concerned and would check out the car after the body work is done and the car becomes drivable again. Thankfully I didn't involve any other vehicles and my grandchildren were not in the car with me. After reading of another incident with a Toyota tc, that incident far worse than mine, I felt I needed to let the public know that this is happening more often that not and just not someone mistaking the gas pedal for the brakes.
