Brake Sensor Problems of Toyota Yaris

Was in a car accident in December of 2018 and air bags didn't deploy. Went to the dealership and they said they couldn't help. Entire sensor of the front were torn off and still didn't deploy. My sister was seriously injured. She was driving and crashed at 35mph on a city streer and crash into a stop light and sign because someone took a red on her green and she swerved to not hit anyone.

The abs sensor is notoriously bad, and I had to stop suddenly and went into a four wheel slide because the abs stopped working. This needs a recall.

Any day, any weather, any road conditions. The road could be as dry as a bone. When I drive around a curve (it doesn't matter if I'm driving 45 mph, or 15 mph), the break pedal will engage on it's own, the steering wheel will lock, and a beeping alarm will go off. I have no control of the van. It will put me into oncoming traffic. Everyday. Everyday. Any time I drive this van. Multiple times a day for the last 15 months. Lots of $, and lots of trips to dealer and car repair shops. Can't figure out what is causing the problem, but it's a major problem. We tried new tires, changing wheel sensors, new brakes, adding fluid to steering wheel column, new axels. . . And the list goes on. Nothing fixes the problem. I've read a lot of similar stories on the internet. Lots pf people, same problem, and nothing is fixing the problem on anyone's van. There isn't a solution to a major problem.

Both the parking brake and anti-lock brake system [abs] indicator lights illuminated while driving and with the parking brake not engaged. The lights remained illuminated. Upon inspection of the rear skid control sensor and skid control sensor wire [part of the abs], I found both the passenger and driver's side assemblies to be very wet and dirty with mud both inside and outside the electrical connector between the wire and the sensor itself on the hub assembly. On the driver's side, the electrical connector pins were badly corroded. So much so, in fact, that one of the pins was broken and partially disintegrated. With the connection being corroded and broken, the abs will not function. The electrical connectors for the skid control sensor are not protected by any sort of guard or boot, they're just regular, plastic-housing connectors with no waterproofing, yet they're in a location on the vehicle which is very much exposed to rain, snow, mud, etc. During normal driving conditions. The connectors are very vulnerable to corrosion and damage from the elements being exposed in this way and their premature failure due to this exposure causes a loss of a safety feature of the vehicle, the abs.

The abs sensors on both back tires failed spontaneously (determined upon obd code reading from service station) resulting in the dashboard 'brake' and 'abs' lights illuminating intermittently. Since this spontaneous failure abs would activate at inappropriate times and at other times fail to activate when it should have. This created a major potential safety issue.

12/21/the weather conditions were 35f and raining. After a trip of about 8 miles my car was parked outside for a couple hours. Upon starting the car for my return trip I noticed that the dash indicators for abs and brake were lit and remained lit through the duration of my trip of about 8 miles. These indicators have never done this before. 12/22/(next day) when I started the car the indicators were again lit and remained lit. However, after driving a couple miles I noticed that the indicators were no longer lit. Research has indicated a known issue with the connectors to the abs sensors in the rear wheels for which Toyota eventually released a technical bulletin. In later years the connectors were redesigned to be more resistant to water and snow. There have been many occurrences of this problem in the northern us and canada. I feel that Toyota should issue an extended recall for this problem as they did for the issue with the corroded suspension bolts.

Abs and brake sensors are faulty. Abs not working.

I purchased this car in December 2006 in puerto rico. I needed a car to visit my father who currently lives there. During 2007 through 2012, I visted him approximately five times and drove the car. In 2013, I decided to bring the car to virginia, us. I bought the 2006 Yaris Toyota to the us with approximately 6k miles in March 2013. In may 2013, the sensor controling the air bags turned on and I it was unable to pass state inspection. The week after, while I was driving to work, the car lost all of the brakes functionality. I had to pull the emergency brakes in this car or else have an accident. Overall between the sensor and new brakes it is costing over $1300. In two months of driving the car from fredericksburg virginia to springfield virginia, the mileage used was about 4k extra. In essence; the car with only 10k, and is at home while I think of what to do with this car. The car is paid off and a car on only 10k miles should not have so many issues. Toyota said it cannot repair the car because it is a 2006 model, however the mileage on the car is only 10k.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Yaris. The contact stated that the abs and air bag warning lights illuminated intermittently but most recently, both warning lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed, which located the failure at the abs sensor and the air bag spiral cable. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,000 and the current mileage was 61,529.
