I will be answering the questions below in order. I have come across multiple post online of other people who had their axle beam failed. - rear axle beam broken. - once the axle beam is broken while driving it can lose control and cause a major accident. - problem has been confirmed by local service center. - not sure. - no lights on dash.
The rear axle has failed due to corrosion. Loss of right rear wheel assembly was narrowly avoided. Noticed the wheel was squatting oddly and upon inspection the wheel assembly was nearly removed by hand.
The contact owns a 2077 Toyota Yaris. The contact stated while the vehicle was getting inspected the inspector noticed the real axel had rushed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or a mechanic. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 180,000.
I bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris brand new. It's a one owner car with 216000 miles. 5 years ago, I noticed that the side skirt was rusty near the back wheel. Over time, they rusted out. One month ago, while pulling in at the gas station, I heard a crunch. I felt the drivers side of my car go down as well. Got out and drivers rear wheel was tilted in at the top. The passenger rear wheel was also leaning in at the top. The rear axle was rusted out on the welds. The car was about to crumple up in two. It looks to me like the car had a defect in which water somehow accumulated or ran down the back of that side skirt and rusted it, then the rear axle out. My little economical car is junked out. It may be one of the cheapest cars. . . Well I'm a poor person. I worked my butt off to pay for that and I thought because it was a Toyota that it would last. I was wrong. Thank god I only going 5mph. That could easily kill someone. Of course Toyota killed all kinds of people a couple of years after I bought that Yaris. I knew they were not to be trusted at that point. I thought I was going to keep my Yaris forever. I guess I thought wrong.
My wife was in town driving about 10 mile an hour just pulled away from stop sign, when her drivers side rear tire broke off. We loaded it on a trailer and brought it home. The axel beam had completely rusted in two now Toyota is tell me its 1600 dollar for a new one. I think since they she could have been killed her they could fix her car.
Rear axle beam cracked on left side at a weld, noticed vehicle not tracking properly and had checked at a shop and they found this.
Strange sound comming from rear area. Looked and rear passanger side tire leanning inward toward car. Took to repair shop. The rear axle beam was rusted enough that the tire was getting ready to come off. The repair shop had never seen anything like this. I am the only owner of this vehicle. Had about 214,000 miles when this occured. No, longer own car.
Driving down road and axle beam broke at seam. Drivers side. Was going straight at the time. Heard noise. Top of tire was leaning inward towards car.
Driving on the interstate. Heard a noise that sounded like a blown tired. Pull over and looked under car. The wheel was leaning and it appeared to me a bar was broke. Towed it to garage and mechanic had never seen this axle beam broken at the seam. Pictures attached.
Poor handling when I go over 90 km per hour.
Bolts that holds a-arms are gone rusted completely off suspension is popping Toyota refuses to fix the problem even after knowing it’s a manufacturing defect estimated cost for repair is 2,500+ for a 7 year old car that only has 132k miles.
During rolling bumper to bumper traffic, heard a loud pop from the front end. Afterwards the front end kept making a odd grind sound when I put on the brakes or went over a slight bump. Took some time to figure out that one of the bolts that holds the passenger side a-arm was gone, looks like the bolt head just sheared off so now all the weight that was carried by 3 bolts is being managed by 2. I had just got off the highway too, glad that did not pop at 65 mph.
2007 Toyota Yaris has transmission problem. The consumer stated he had to allow the vehicle to warm up, before he could change gears properly. In the winter time, it was worse. There were times when the transmission gears would not engage at all. The vehicle also pulled to the right/left while driving. The vehicle also vibrated. The dealer could not find anything wrong with the vehicle.
