Our security system has started going off at random while we are driving down the hi way at 65 mph or when we are making a turn, the 4ways start flashing and the horn starts blowing, this is scary and can cause other cars to slow or stop behind us. *tr

I purchased a new 2009 scion xb on 17 july 2009. i immediately noticed the "warning buzzer" associated with key in ignition, seat belt warning, lights on, and door ajar was inaudible. i returned the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the "buzzer" was very quiet and there was nothing that could be done. the mechanic could not even find it. on 27 july 2009, i called scion customer service and they informed me that the "warning buzzer" was indeed quiet and there was nothing they could do about it. i consider the 'warning buzzer" to be an important part of the safe operation of the vehicle and scion's response was unwarranted. *tr
1. defective air bag inflators manufactured my takata were installed when the vehicle was manufactured. nothing has happened yet, however, the stability of the the air bags is unpredictable and puts passengers at risk until it is corrected. the inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to humidity and high temperature. an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. 2. a power window master switch may melt. the electrical contacts are not protected by necessary lubricant which could lead to a short circuit and an increase the risk of fire.
