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...UPDATED 03/15/16 *BF.....UPDATED 03/31/16 *BF UPDATED 6/11/18*JB

I AM A RETIRED AUTOSHOP TEACHER {2 YEARS} AND AM ASE CERTIFIED IN, AMONG OTHERS, SUSPENSION AND STEERING. WHILE DRIVING MY YARIS, STARTED TO HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. SUDDENLY, A LOUD BANG WHILE SOMETHING BROKE OFF THE CAR AND HIT THE UNDERBODY. ON INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM REARWARD BOLT, WHICH EXTENDS THROUGH A CENTER SUPPORT AND IS BOLTED TO THE VEHICLE BODY, HAD SNAPPED OFF ABOUT HALFWAY. I DROVE THE CAR HOME, ABOUT 3 MILES, BUT THE DRIVEABILITY OF THE VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED, THE STEERING BECAME VAGUE AND THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER. THERE IS A TSB, NUMBER 005-11 ON THIS PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA FAILS TO ADMIT IN THIS OR EARLIER TSBS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH IN MY OPINION, IT CLEARLY IS. THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM, AS AN INTERNET SEARCH FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN A RECALL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA YARIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER A MANUFACTURERS RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS TWICE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD NOT STAY PUT. IT KEPT GLIDING BACK AND FORTH ON THE RAIL. WE HAD OUR MECHANIC REPLACE THE SEAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND TOYOTA REFUSED TO PAY US FOR THE WORK WE HAD DONE.
