Structure Problems of Toyota Yaris

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.

2008 Toyota Yaris. Consumer writes in regards to unusual headlight system. The consumer stated when the vehicle was turned on, with the headlights turned off, the instrument panel brightly lit up. When the headlights were turned on, the instrument panel went dim. The consumer stated it was backwards and it was of poor design. During dusk, the driver needed to know the lights were on, and a dark instrument panel indicated the headlights were not on.

Was driving approximately 110 km/hr this morning on a major highway when my driver side front window blew out. I heard a loud boom and the window popped. It shattered into a million pieces and alot of it in my car all over me. I was in the slow lane and there was nothing next to me or passing me. The driver some distance behind me pulled over when I did to see if I was okay as he saw glass flying. I called the dealship and of course they blame it on a rock or something. My question is how does a rock hit my window when there is no traffic in front of me or passing me??? I now have it at a window repair shop and $300. 00 later!!.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Yaris. The contact stated he heard a noise while driving various speeds over bumpy road surfaces. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed the front cradle bolt on the passenger side was severed. The contact was also told the driver's side cradle bolt was corroding and the vehicle was not safe to drive. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 43,000 and the current mileage was 43,500. Updated 6/8/11.

Passenger side of vehicle has a leak when the air conditioner is used. Took to the dealer and was charged approximately $200 to fix said problem. Less than a month later the issue is happening again. Seems to be more than one issue of this occuring.

While driving my 2009 Toyota Yaris, I was burned by a hot beverage when the driver's side cup holder became loose and caused the cup to become unstable, spilling the contents on myself and car. The cup holders are located in a position that puts front seat passengers at risk of injury because of their location. In a collision or abrupt stop, consumers are at risk of serious injury. I am especially concerned for children because of what I experienced. I hope Toyota will fix this flaw and eliminate this safety hazard for consumers. I received medical treatment and contacted Toyota, yet the problem has not been resolved. I have always been a happy customer with the car until this incident.

I bought the car on March of 2008 (Toyota Yaris sport 4dr sedan) as brand new. Note - brand new. After driving around for 4 months, my air conditioning smells like vinegar everytime I turn it on. Later on, the smell worsen; it smells like rotten vomit. I went to the dealership and they said they smelled nothing. I was confused. After the dealership, the smell remains the same. After 5 months of driving, one day when I was at school, I was walking to my car and got in (it was a hot day) I turned on the ac and it barely blow air. Mention air; its not cold. I was really upset since it is a brand new car and I'm starting to have problems with it. I went to Toyota dealership and address the problem to them. Took me 4 hours for them just to install a little part in the car which costs dollars and for labor costing 344 dollars on the warranty. I think that's insane. After it has been repaired, it was time for my oil change. I went to get my oil change done, the mechanic mentioned there's something wrong with my ac. He showed me the cabin air filter and it was completely black. Had to paid more for a new one. Also the back trunk cover was repainted without my knowledge ( the 3rd party told me my trunk was repainted). I also addressed that to Toyota and they said I needed to replace my cabin air filter next month and the trunk was brand new as is. I was really upset and started to think - did I buy a brand new lemon?!.
