Takata inflators and window recall. My complaint is I have two active recalls on my Scion Xb, one dating back to 2015, with Scion/Toyota not being able to fix either recall. In January 2017 I got a letter about the defective airbag that stated do not let anyone ride in passenger seat. This is a family car, my only family car, I cannot indefinetly not have passangers in my car. The 2015 recall involves a window issue that can cause a fire. The windows work but squeaks and has rub marks on the glass. Toyota has had ample time to fix both issues. How long has this airbag problem been" several years at least and now the airbag manufacturer has gone bankrupt. I paid for a fully functioning car yet I can't put anyone in the passenger seat?!"!

The Scion Xb 2009 was driving on the highway, at speed limit, 10 miles after the "needs maintenance" oil light came on. After 15 minutes, the car made a loud bang noise which we think came from the engine.after the bang, car pulled over. Another car pulled over too, since a piece of flaming debris from my car came out from underneath and broke that car's windshield. That driver indicated that my Scion was on fire and to get out of the car! ~5 seconds later the first of many explosions happened. The car quickly, within one minute, became completely engulfed in flames. By the time the fire department arrived the car was "fully engaged" (100% burning). It is a total loss.
