This will be extremely difficult to prove. That word is so vague and broad you'll be hard pressed to get a lawyer that A: will fight with Scions legal department for years and B: be able to prove it.
The only bright side of the whole thing is if they fight it and lose they pay your attorney fees. The down side is if you can find a lawyer that can't define substantial you're stuck with the car. Good luck.

I think it would qualify for substantially impairing use. Say you do have to bring it to the dealer once a month for taillight. That's 1 day for them to look at it and 1 day to install. 2 days per month. I drive to work 20 days per month. That's 10% of commute days interrupted.Or if you want to look at it the other way, you have say 8 to 10 days off per month so that is 20 - 25% of your free days ruined by going to the dealer.
Maybe you can call someone above the dealer and complain, see where that gets you?
I have the condensation in my lights since the first month but I haven't bothered to go fix it yet since like you I don't really have much time for that nonsense. Hopefully when I do go, it's only once.
