VEHICLE HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT WOULD REV UP BUT NOT SHIFT UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS. AFTER LETTING OFF THE GAS, IT WOULD JUMP INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENED AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD AND 30,000 MILES. *JB

THE SCION TC WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS A MAJOR FLAW WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND DRIVEN SLOWLY. THE ENGINE BUCKS AND JERKS VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP. IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN WHEN DRIVEN SLOWLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THE VEHICLE WILL BUCK AND JERK, VIOLENTLY SOME TIMES, UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE NEEDLE MOVES. IT HAPPENS IN SUMMER AND WINTER AND IS OK WHEN THE ENGINE IS EVENTUALLY WARMED UP. THE DEALER CAN DO NOTHING FOR IT AS THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING IS FIXED BY TOYOTA. *NM

TODAY, 3/19/10 AT AROUND 9:30 A.M. I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA SCION HOME FROM THE DENTISTS OFFICE. NEARING THE TOP OF A HILL MY THROTTLE STUCK IN THE FULL POSITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO DEPRESS. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE REVVED AT HIGH SPEED, I RETURNED THE TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I REPEATED THE GEAR CHANGE AND THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION RESPOND PROPERLY. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO OFFERED NO HELP UNLESS I CAN REPEAT THE PROBLEM. P.S. I AM (AND HAVE BEEN) A S…
