After having my car, 2005 xb, serviced my air bag light came on.dealer stated they would need to remove the steering wheel to fix the problem. Car has approx 160,000 miles on it and I have seen others stating that same problem at or near the same mileage, toyota needs to look into this cause it seems to be a problem. Also other lights randomly coming on such vehicle stability, check engine and another light all come on together for no apparent reason. Recall please.

I was driving my 2005 scion xb . As I slowed down to stop my car accelerated right through the stop sign across the highway and into a barbwire fence.. When I applied the brakes the engine accelerated . The vehicle stability control; traction control; check engine all lit up.I got the car started, but it ran hot and started smoking and would not hold speed.

Several lights turn on console due to technical recall. Dealership did not fix issue due to lights not being on. I've taken to 2 other mechanics who said take car to dealership. Car was close on (and now out of ) warranty. This seems to be a common issue as I looked on many sites in regards to 2005 scion xb's and found many other complaints. The lights will turn off after ignition is restarted numerous times, therefore removing the data from the computer. Trac control, check engine, you can feel the car shutter and trying to catch.

Vehicle stability control; traction control; check engine have all lit up. This first occurred in september 2007 the dealership had my car for almost 2 weeks before they "fixed it" by replacing something with my cam shaft? They stated it was under warranty because of a recall. January 1, 2008 the lights all reappeared, I brought it back and was told that nothing could be found wrong and that the lights reset themselves. Now february 13, 2008 the lights have come back on again accompanied by a very loud squealing coming from my steering.

The vehicle stability control; traction control; check engine light have come on and remained on. The light was temporarily deactivated when a cam gear was replaced at wagner toyota in lancaster ma. The error code returned and has remained on despite leaving the car at gatorland toyota in gainesville fl on three separate occasions. The dealership service manager after first replacing the computer advised me that they do not know how to repair my car. I am uncertain whether the vsc or the traction control is operational at this time (safety concern).
