general problems of the 2009 Toyota Yaris

So far the front suspension makes a noise.

Vehicle was rear-ended on November 4, 2022. The driver was wearing a seatbelt but the driver airbag did not deploy after being rear-ended. After the accident, the dashboard airbag indicator warning light turned on. The vehicle did not show any airbag issues or warnings prior to the accident. The emergency parking brake does not properly engage after the accident.

I noticed that my car would not brake properly if I happened to be breaking over an uneven service years ago. So, I drive to avoid having to do so. But, then recently it started making a squealing noise along with breaking. It comes and goes. Then, a clunking noise started when reversing. Now, the clunking noise comes in either direction. The squealing has graduated to scratching and scraping when I accelerate or decelerate. It comes from my front, passenger side tire and when I turn my steering wheel all the way to the right, it gets very loose - whereas turning all the way to the left still feels appropriately tight. I think the looseness is connected to the front right passenger side wheel, as if a piece has broken or is loose - because it comes and goes. This all happens when I'm moving, no matter what terrain it is (highway, city street, etc. ) and whether I am turning or not.

I braked to avoid hitting an animal which emerged from the ditch. The car fishtailed, lost control and flipped once landing on it's top. The driver's side was damaged and the insurance company totaled the car. I did hit my head against the driver's side window, but the blow was not severe. My concern is that the side airbag did not deploy. The anti-lock breaks did not work either and have only worked intermittently for quite some time.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Yaris. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle hesitated to stop without warning. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The abs is not working.

My 2009 Toyota Yaris needs to be placed upon the recent recalls with Toyota. My accelerator pedal is beginning to get harder to push down, my brakes are mushy and are sometimes hard to stop the vehicle, when I have my defrosters on, the car wants to keep going and braking is harder. My radio randomly switches to am radio when its off, or on a different station. This all sounds electrical, and I have taken it to the dealer twice and been told no problems. I have an appointment next week to have it looked at again. I just wanted to inform someone that the 2009 Toyota Yaris' have problems and need to be looked at.

My Toyota Yaris has a brake problem in wet or icy conditions. It will stop but not as quick as it should. The brakes makes a sounds like it's trying to work.

I was decelerating on a downhill shortened exit ramp, going from 70 mph to a stop within approximately 500 feet . When I applied the brakes, it felt as if the brakes were "metal to metal" and the vehicle barely stopped before hitting the vehicle in front of me. Since that time, the same type of incident has occurred 3 more times, always when decelerating rapidly. (when decelerating at a slow rate of speed, they work fine. ) I have had the brakes checked, but they said they were "normal". They certainly are not!.
