Narrative

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Scion XA. The contact stated that while driving through a green light in second gear, another vehicle ran a light from the left and crashed into the driver's side of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's head struck the side window, and the vehicle spun and was able to come to a stop. The Police arrived on the scene; however, a Police report was not filed. The contact received injuries to the ankles, back, and sustained whiplash. Medical attention was sought. The vehicle was able to be driven from the scene; however, the wheel was damaged, causing issues with the alignment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was taken to the dealer 7 times. While the contact’s husband was driving the vehicle, there was a sudden loss of power. The driver was able to coast the vehicle in neutral to a nearby truck stop, and the vehicle was towed to another dealer. The second dealer, Vic Vaughan Toyota of Boerne (31205 Frontage Rd #10, Boerne, TX 78006); diagnosed the vehicle and determined that due to the collision, the engine had shifted, crushing the alternator up against the side of the vehicle. The alternator was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the issues. The failure mileage was unknown.
