I imagine if the OP were anal enough they could get a new car. Legally Scion cant sell a car with a known potential structural defect. A lawyer could have a field day with this (note: I hate lawyers) . Its a structural piece that's damaged, how can Scion prove the car meets crash test ratings or safety requirements since the test cars were not tested with this damaged piece in place. I think they are legally required to fix it, offer a new car, or put in writing that there is no loss of structural integrity.
