2007 TOYOTA YARIS Complaints

REAR AXLE BEAM CRACKED ON LEFT SIDE AT A WELD, NOTICED VEHICLE NOT TRACKING PROPERLY AND HAD CHECKED AT A SHOP AND THEY FOUND THIS.

WHEN I START MY CAR ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE COMING UP. OTHER PRIUS HAS SAME PROBLEMS.

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.

STRANGE SOUND COMMING FROM REAR AREA. LOOKED AND REAR PASSANGER SIDE TIRE LEANNING INWARD TOWARD CAR. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP. THE REAR AXLE BEAM WAS RUSTED ENOUGH THAT THE TIRE WAS GETTING READY TO COME OFF. THE REPAIR SHOP HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. HAD ABOUT 214,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURED. NO, LONGER OWN CAR.

P/S DASHBOARD RED LIGHT CAME ON WITH SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST WHILE TURNING AND DRIVING. LUCKILY THE CAR IS LIGHT, BUT I COULD HAVE EASILY HIT AN OBJECT, HAD IT HAPPENED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION OR AT A DIFFERENT SPEED. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED BY ITSELF. TWO WEEKS THEREAFTER, AN EXTREMELY STRONG BURNED ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY SMELL SUDDENLY FILLED THE VICINITY OF THE CAR, COULD BE FELT FROM ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY, WHILE IDLING, WHILE STOPPED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS WITH FRONT WHEELS TURNED TO THE RIGHT ABOUT HALF-WAY, AS I WAS CHECKING MY MAIL BOX UPON ENTERING DRIVEWAY. A LOW PITCH WHINING/DRONING NOISE WAS EMANATING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING. THE NOISE AND ODOR PERSISTED AFTER THE STEERING WAS SET AT 0 DEGREE ANGLE AND AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED. NO P/S DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. NO LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST. NO VISIBLE SIGN OF SMOKE, FIRE, OR MELTED PLASTIC IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX. WIRE HARNESSES LOOKED INTACT. SUSPECT EPS - ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE ABOUT 85OF. CAR DRIVEN FOR JUST 3 MILES ON THAT DAY, SIDE STREET DRIVING ONLY, NEVER OVER 35 MPH. AC FAN ON FULL BLAST, HEADLIGHTS OFF. CAR HAD DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING UPON DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ON SAME DAY, PRIOR TO AFOREMENTIONED INCIDENT.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND AXLE BEAM BROKE AT SEAM. DRIVERS SIDE. WAS GOING STRAIGHT AT THE TIME. HEARD NOISE. TOP OF TIRE WAS LEANING INWARD TOWARDS CAR.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A BLOWN TIRED. PULL OVER AND LOOKED UNDER CAR. THE WHEEL WAS LEANING AND IT APPEARED TO ME A BAR WAS BROKE. TOWED IT TO GARAGE AND MECHANIC HAD NEVER SEEN THIS AXLE BEAM BROKEN AT THE SEAM. PICTURES ATTACHED.
