Service Brakes Problems of Toyota Yaris - part 2

I have had numerous problems with this vehicle since just after the warranty expired. Toyota refuses to acknowledge or repair anything. I have replaced rear shocks, front wheel bearings, and now am having issues with the abs system. It seems the entire underside of the vehicle needs replacement. The problems began less than 2 months after the 3 year warranty expired. At that time, the car had only 40,000 miles on it. The only response Toyota provided was "sorry, your warranty has expired. " all mechanics I have discussed these issues with agree that such repairs should not be necessary on a vehicle with such low mileage. This car has not been abused or driven hard. It has had all maintenance done as suggested by it manufacturer. These issues should be taken care of by Toyota as warranty repairs since they are all obvious manufacturer defects. This is the one and only Toyota I will ever own.

Stopped to place a fast food order-moved up to pay-truck in front waiting to pay-had foot on break--car lunged forward and hit the truck in front-the engine revved up while I had my foot on the break-I even pushed down harder on the break.

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.

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.

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...

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!.

Brakes locked up on my 2008 Toyota yarius and it skidded me 67' 9" into the back end of another vehicle. The skid marks were solid. I have had mechanics tell me that the brakes locked up and they should not have and it will speed you up, which caused me to hit this vehicle not once but twice. I filed a complaint with Toyota and they sent out a subject to check the brakes, I then received a letter stating all the tests are fine. Well my insurance company had the vehicle towed to dealership who advised them that you can not do the proper test, without towing it to a certified Toyota dealership and put it on their computer. Well I tried to get Toyota to tell me if this man pulled up in his truck and pulled out this computer, however now Toyota won't talk to me. My insurance has had one of their inspectors to come and look over the vehicle, which he explained to me since it has been several months that the black box may have lost the information that is stored in it, I have not heard from them yet. I know this was a vehicle malfunction, I first called Toyota to file a complaint when a Toyota service manager advised me to do so!! in fact the Toyota rep was the first one to ask me if I wanted compensated for this and if I come up with a figure to call him back which I did and he gave me the runaround. I wrote a letter to Toyota and haven't heard anything else from them. I know for a fact this was not my fault, this was the first accident I have ever had, and its ruined me. I work two jobs and all I wanted was a car I could trust, this was my fourth Toyota and it will be my last. I have pictures of the skid marks, my vehicle. I was sued by the lady I hit lawyer. I know how I drive and I know that this wasn't my fault, the brakes malfunctioned and they need to admit it, and to take care of it. I found a website on Toyota yarius which had numerous complaints about brakes locking up on their vehicles and the near misses they had, well I wrecked and it was bad.

On going problem with 2008 Toyota Yaris model 2 door sedan bought brand new 2008 Toyota Yaris in July 2008. When trying to apply break to slow down the vehicle going downhill, the engine/transmission starts to roar as if it won't slow down. Reported the issue to the dealer who were able to duplicate the problem but could not find the cause. And the dealer said it was normal. I have driven other vehicles many many years but never had such problem. Scary of driving this vehicle - especially going downhill! is it another Toyota defect?.

Vehicle in front of me stopped. I applied brakes and the car did not stop as usual, it just slid. I attempted to avoid the vehicle and rolled over. The airbags did not deploy and I was slammed into the steering wheel and against the door. Causing chest pain and shoulder pain.
