Several lights turn on console due to technical recall. Dealership did not fix issue due to lights not being on. I've taken to 2 other mechanics who said take car to dealership. Car was close on (and now out of ) warranty. This seems to be a common issue as I looked on many sites in regards to 2005 Scion Xb's and found many other complaints. The lights will turn off after ignition is restarted numerous times, therefore removing the data from the computer. Trac control, check engine, you can feel the car shutter and trying to catch.

Vehicle stability control; traction control; check engine have all lit up. This first occurred in September 2007 the dealership had my car for almost 2 weeks before they "fixed it" by replacing something with my cam shaft? they stated it was under warranty because of a recall. January 1, 2008 the lights all reappeared, I brought it back and was told that nothing could be found wrong and that the lights reset themselves. Now February 13, 2008 the lights have come back on again accompanied by a very loud squealing coming from my steering.
