The vehicle do unnecessary abrupt breaking in the highway when the road are reduced due to reparation. In addition in two times, when I tried to park to my garage in the back of other vehicle the breaking system related to collision is activate. This area of my garage is an inclined drive way zone and I put the vehicle back to other. In occasions when I go out to my residence, I need to go thru a control system that content a electrical barrier (electric arm), and around 4 or 5 times, when I close to this area the car did a hard stop, and the collision red light turned on with a beep sound, the same indication when the car activate the breaking system in the highway and when I try to park in some times to my garage. The most critical issue is when hard stooping in the highway due to in these times the other vehicles claimed me why reason I stopping without any reason, and them are very close to collision the back of my car. When this happen the sound of the tires of my car can be ear clearly the hard stopping. I very disappointment and very scare this defect was and will be in danger my life, due to the dealer retailer that I buy my car don't found any issue after my notification and I had no choice open a case directly with the Toyota, and now the dealer retailer will do an a correct inspection but I need to pay for this, is incredible due to my 2020 car only have 18,000 used miles.

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.

My brakes have failed me many times. I had to eventually get those change in the brakes still aren’t working completely correct.

My acelerator pedal is so small and I had almost an accident because during a trip my foot got stuck underneat the pedal, I was able to remove at time but it was hard to change to the brakes cause it took like a second to remove my foot, also sometimes I need to speed faster to change a lane to avoid a sudden stop and my foot just jump from the pedal to underneat it, that pedal is a danger and is a probably cause of an accident. Is the size of maybe a little laptop mouse instead to be a full pedal going from the floor to the top.

My fiancee bought her 2008 Toyota Yaris on about the 26 Apr 2021. Right off she had brake failure pretty quickly after buying the car. Brake pads were suspected of failing. When the front tires were removed the calipers had built up thick rust on inside surface where the pads sit on both front calipers. The pads were pushed into the rotors heavily causing the driver side rotor to be damaged beyond acceptable limits. The right side rotor was turned successfully with enough rotor minimum thickness remaining. So the rust caused me to replace 1 rotor, both calipers and pads on front and rear brakes. The rust built up on the calipers threaded input and output brake fluid lines threaded attach points. This could have cause a fluid leak that could of been very dangerous leading to injury or death of occupants. I have not reported this to the Toyota dealership or anyone else. I didn't know I could report dangerous items that could be set for a safety recall by the NHTSA. As for the airbags, the driver airbag light stays on and passenger light comes on when 10 pounds of weight is sat in passenger seat. The belt is not latched. My driver seat belt is always latched when I drive. I weigh 130 but the light remains on. So, will the driver air bag inflator explode or fail due to the warning light illuminatimg. I was unaware of a recall for this and 3 others have not been repaired yet by previous owners. The third item is backseat seatbelt female receptical will not latch to the male end on 2 of the 3 seating positions. This is a real safety issue when we place children in the backseat. We can only take 1 child at each drive, so even adults riding in the backseat will be not buckled up, which is un-law and very dangerous causing severe injuries and even death in an accidental collision. I will take my fiancee's 2008 Yaris to a Toyota dealership for the 4 recalls noted today by VIN,7/29/2021. Thanks, richard peavler.

Sometimes wobbles on the road. When brakes are apply in a quick stop, it feels like it will not stop. It makes a noise. Brakes were inspected but could not find an answer. Happen while in montion once it reach beyond the 20 miles. It happens frequently.

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 was in motion on a city street, and involved in a collision in which my forward collision warning system and automatic emergency breaking did not activate.

My vehicle has 21k miles 2017 bought new and the front rotors need to be replaced. I drive local, and I am being told hard stops on brakes will overheat the rotors. I do not drive at 90mph then jam on the brakes. I do not drive at highway speeds, cannot drive after dusk. I believe the rotors are defective. I notice when I drive 10 miles and back the rotors are to hot to touch, they are overheating. I called Toyota USA and they will do nothing for me. I should not be replacing rotors at 21k miles. I had a 2008 Yaris and drove that car for 5. 5 years and I never replaced rotors.

At 19000 miles I started experiencing problems with my breaking sometimes the anti-lock brakes would work and sometimes the anti-lock brake did not in the brakes will lock up and so would the tires . While traveling at about 25 miles an hour I attempted break and make I turn into a neighborhood when I applied my brakes my brakes locked up and my steering wheel locked up and I ran up on a curb and into a stop sign I didn't hit the stop sign very hard because I was applying my brakes the entire time but needless to say it did happen. There have been other little things that happened in the car that I really didn't pay any attention to but now I will like my screen went out for just a little bit while I was driving and then came back on and my engine made a funny sound that morning when I stopped at a stoplight and kind of had a hard time accelerating, then like maybe an hour later the whole breaking incident happened I don't know if this is something that's happening and all the Toyota Yaris has but I have an IA and it seems to have problems. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem and informed me that my brakes work just fine and they put it on the computer everything was fine. I'm not convinced.

Frequently when driving in this car and I attempt to press on brakes it takes a bit longer than it should for a reaction to occur . Which is very dangerous in certain weather conditions which I was affected in having to press on brakes which led to slamming on brakes and still not the appropriate reaction time causing me to slam in another car on a a slippery intersection which is when I finally able to hear my brakes basically touch the ground . With the failure of reliance on my brakes the front end of my car in completely destroyed which now caused my driver door to no longer open.

While I was parking my car in my drive way and I tried to stop with the breaks . I didn't stop even though I was breaking hard and the speed excellerated and I had trouble controling the steering wheel , its moved it self.

Mice ate most of my car insulation and wiring resulting in destruction of 2 car computers, two heater fan motors, abs brake system about $5k damage . . Vehicle is driven daily . . Only this new car with soy based insulation are affected . . Our 2 0kder trucks were not . . I can provide photos if necessary.

I was less than five minutes from home, on my way to take my children to school. I made a right hand turn off the street from my neighborhood, unto the service road that leads to the ramp for the highway entrance. As I headed towards the ramp that enters unto the highway, the 2008 Toyota Yaris felt like it suddenly started to accelerate. Despite my foot was on the brakes, the car would not slow down. I swerved back unto the service road to avoid continuing unto the ramp, in fear that I would crash into the cars on the highway. To avoid hitting any vehicles on the service road, I managed to swerve the vehicle off the side of the road ¿ with the car finally stopping when it crashed into a pole. My children and I suffered seat belt bruising and cuts. I was hospitalized for a few days for hand, foot, and back injuries, and still under doctor's care for the injuries. In addition, the vehicle was a total lost. I have my service receipts reflecting that I kept up with the maintenance of the car. In addition, I had the brakes serviced in October of the previous year.

Sudden unintended acceleration with speed of almost 100 mph,brakes not slowing vehicle wile traveling e/b on freeway and exiting off ramp and colliding with another vehicle traveling n/b on city street chp collision report # 9855-2015 2306 vehicle impounded for investigation.

My 2010 Yaris at time in the winter the brakes will not stop with the pedal to the floor and the car will not stop. . Colonial Toyota and my mechanic inspected the brakes and cannot find anything wrong with them. I notice the NHTSA campaign id number 09v338000 for the corolla has the same complaint with a recall on hydraulic power assist vacuum for brake system. The description of the problem is similar to mine.

When I tried to roll the window down, by clicking on the button, there was a small fire that caused smoke inside the car. I would also like to verify my breaks and airbags. I would like to make an appointment to bring my car in either Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday.

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.

I rented this car for 1 week, when I would go to apply the brake my foot would slip off of the brake pedal. This would happen to me every 4th or 5th time I went to slow down or stop. I have never had to be so careful in any other vehicle I have ever driven, I'm 58 years old and know how to drive. . The pedal is quite small and maybe at the wrong position for safe application. Thank you for your concern.

In the winter months since I bought my car brand new, randomly the abs would just go off during normal breaking and then stop working all together and the abs and the e-break light would come on for a while. When I was driving home one morning I was coming up to a red light when the abs decided to stop working and I slid right through the light, almost getting hit by on coming traffic. Now I had dismissed the problem till I realized that it could cause harm to me or my childern and the abs and e-break light will no longer go off which is causing me to fail emissions.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Toyota Yaris.

Since I buy the car sometimes when I turn ignition on it makes the noise that is starting all lights on the dashboard turn on for a almost a 20 to 30 sec. Then sometimes when I'm driving the speed gear drops with out me braking also when I turn right signal on sometimes the reverse light on dashboard also turn on. One time all lights on dashboard were blinking went I turn signal on. I took it to the dealer the person there told me they don't have any recalls and no complain then can't do anything if they don't see the problem. I have a video this. Now when I hit the brake the right signal canes on. Second time I took the car to the dealer the ignition call had a failure they replace coil 3 and dashboard lights diagnostic came normal and vehicle lights still do the samething. And ignition still does the samething and if I go back to the dealer to do another diagnostic they will charge me 124 dollars if nothing is found wrong. The problem is there but they can't find it I show the video to the guy in the dealer and still nothing.

I was driving on the highway and took a ramp in the right lane while it was drizzling. As I began to go down the ramp, I the car began shift toward the wall, and I brake. The car began to spin out of control, and completely hydroplaned. We hit a dividing wall several times before coming to a stop on the left side of the ramp. I have experienced previous issues with the brakes during wet and dry conditions. Sometimes if I pushed hard on the brakes, I would feel a vibration under the car, and the brakes wouldn't work properly. My car is completely destroyed and both of my young children were in the car when it happened.

Our daughter was driving on highway 44 in missouri at or near grey summit missouri with the cruise control set on, when our 2008 Toyota Yaris started to accelerate on it's own. Our daughter had to swerve to miss hitting other vehicle on the highway. She attempted to stop and the cruise control did not disengage. To avoid hitting another vehicle she steered the vehicle off the highway and crashed head on into trees. Toyota hired bosch to have the "black box" analyzed. The company and bosch claim no malfunction of the vehicle. Our daughter continues to dispute their claims and we have lost the vehicle in an insurance claim to aaa of missouri. In additional we have lost value in the vehicle, we are paying insurance accident penalties and lost $1000 in deductibles. We continue to dispute Toyota and bosch's claim that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Since our accident there has been additional evidence of "tin whiskers" as potential cause of electronic failure. We believe we have been the unfortunate victims of Toyota negligence and need to request assistance in fighting this issue with Toyota.

Driving vehicle on city streets, and attempted to brake. Brake and abs came on, and abs system engaged. Road conditions were dry, weather was warm and sunny. Abs engagement made it difficult to come to complete stop, even though road conditions were dry. Since initial incident, abs system comes on periodically while driving and while braking. Toyota has denied any responsibility for repairs, even though this is a known issue that numerous Yaris owners have experienced. Later models for the Yaris have had the abs design fixed to prevent this issue from happening.

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 abs is not working.

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.
