What owners wrote
After purchasing my car I had to bring in to be serviced due to static speakers. The back speakers were replaced but that was not the last problem I would have with them. A few months later my ipod jack went up in smoke and melted my ipod. The service center had to special order the ipod jack and cable which took 30 days to arrive. After replacing said parts I tried them out. They did not function properly and I was told that was the best they could do.
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 toyota scion xb. The contact started the ignition. Immediately, the anti-lock brake system (ABS), visibility stabile control (vsc) and traction control warning light indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The warning light indicators remained illuminated until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The technician stated the failures were contributed to the speed sensor and wire harness corrosion.
