general problems of the 2007 Toyota Yaris

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Yaris. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the contact applied the brake pedal repeatedly and there was an extreme delayed response. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer four times for the failure and on each occasion, a lube application was applied to the rear brakes. Additionally, the parking brake would not function upon engaging. The failure persisted and the vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage 75,000. Mah.

There is a well-known defect on Toyota Yaris models (USA model years 2007 to present) that occasionally in cold, snowy weather, the rear abs connector will have debris 'gunk up' the connection, disabling the abs - obviously a very huge safety issue in the winter. There are many well-documented situations of this and threads on Yarisworld. . Read more...

The light of "break" and "abs" on together when driving in winter. The car is only 50k miles. This is the first time to drive in a little bit snow. The abs was never used before. I saw a lot of people with this car faced the same problem when driving in winter even with a much lower mileage. It is too dangerous when the break system shows problem.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Yaris. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited an abnormal grinding when he would apply pressure to the brakes. He then noticed that the driver side e lower front control arm bolt was corroded and had fractured from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they performed a diagnostic test and informed the contact that the sub frame would need to be dropped and the control arm bolt would need to be replaced. The manufacturer informed the contact that because the vehicle was not under warranty they could not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 60,000 and the failure mileage was 59,000.

While driving on the freeway at approximately 55-60 mph traffic came to a sudden stop. I applied the brakes to the 2007 Toyota Yaris, 4 door and instead of braking normally, the brakes locked, causing the car to slid 30-40 feet, striking the stopped car in front of mine. The impact caused significant front end damage and yet none of the air bags deployed. Fortunately there were no serious injuries, however both the braking system and the airbags failed to work properly. The road conditions were dry and there were no other factors that would have affected the incident.

Been driving a 2007 Yaris since July 2006 - no problems, now have 51,200 miles on it. On a completely dry and flat road on 4/9/10, I was approaching a yellow light at appx. 40 mph and began braking. Right before the light, as I hit a little bump (uneven pavement section where it changed from bridge surface to blacktop) the engine surged -- I felt it, saw the rpm needle go up and heard the engine rev. I had my foot on the brake the whole time. Had to push the brake very hard to get car to stop. No repairs / inspections yet - not looking forward to a dealership telling me they cannot duplicate the incident. Sounds like the 2010 prius brake recall issue to me . . .

Abs malfunction on my 2007 Toyota Yaris.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Yaris. The contact was driving approximately 5 mph, on icy road conditions. When the brake pedal was engaged there was no power response. The vehicle was able to slow down after several attempts. The identical failure occurred on three separate occasions. Also, the failure occurred while traveling on normal road conditions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The brakes were cleaned. The technician stated that the brakes functioned normally. The failure mileage was 33,000. The current mileage was 34000.

Defective design on vehicle's abs harness/connectors causes it to become inoperative after corrosion sets in, mine happened after 2 years and around 68k miles. Replacement of harness and connectors is only a short term fix, according to the forums on www. Yarisworls. . Read more...
