That list of engine failures should include what specific problem there was. These could be for major issues like DI seals leaks to the minor issues like cricket fuel pump replacements.

I didn't start my car today, but I did notice that no parts had fallen off overnight.

How about some feed back. Really like the car would rather wait on next gen motor and maybe by then they will have worked out some of the problems.
what next gen motor????

Generalization but...

http://jalopnik.com/everyone-is-wron...les-1540661520

On the low end roughly 1,500 86 per month. 2800 on the high end. Over 4 years thats between 70,000-130,000 cars. And 280 repprted failures on this forum. (While not ever owner is a member, theres still alot of members) thats a pretty good record before taking into accountability of Tcoat's "why it went in" theory.

You literally just copied that lost from the Idle Issue sticky, that's a completely different problem that was fixed.

OK here again!!! Told me it is still throwing codes after replacing ECU. They are very unspecific about codes at this time. But they said they were going to send for another ECU, and it would be two weeks. Also told me when the new unit is installed they would do some data logging and send it in, as well as call in a special service tech. Guess it will be six weeks before I get an answer.

I'm sorry to hear about your ordeal.

I didn't read the whole thread, so I apologize if this has been covered, but please open a case with Scion Customer service and let them know that at a minimum you want compensation (car payments) for all the time that the car was in the shop, or a new motor, or if it comes to it, a buyback and swap for another FRS.

Keep all documents and look up your state's lemon laws to fully explore your options at this point.

At this point I would pull it from that dealership and take it to another even if I had to eat the tow costs! From every thing you have said it sounds like they have major service department issues. This constant "we will get the next level to look at it" crap is just a time buyer.

UPDATE! Now the techntions said it was out of timing when they replaced the computer so replace the ECU again because codes on bad timing can not be cleared ECU on its way.

Um what? That's preposterous, those fucktards probably screwed up the cam timing when replacing the timing gears, they can throw as many ecu's in it as they want but it won't fix a damn thing.
