Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota scion xb. The contact stated that while reversing, flames were seen from the driver's side window switch. The contact was able to extinguish the fire. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I recently purchased a brand new 2008 scion xb with 125 miles already on the car. I've only had it for a little over 2 weeks and there is a huge crack on my windshield that started on the lower passenger side of the windshield and has now spread to the driver side of the windshield.
