BRAKES: LEFT SIDE REAR BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTER BAR PART REPLACEMENT DOES NOT FIT ON BRAKE.

REPAIRS WERE ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS FROM NOV 2016 TO SEPT 2017. SPEED SENSOR: I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN THE SPEED SENSOR STOPPED WORKING, THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND I COULD NOT GET OVER OR CONTINUE DRIVING IT. HAD TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SPEED SENSOR REPLACED AND PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2015, MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75, 000 AT TIME.

ON 7/9/2017 @ 6:45PM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 90 THE REAR BUMPER PANEL ON MY 2012 TOYOTA YARIS CAME UNHINGED AND WAS FLAPPING CAUSING THE RIGHT SIDE TO ALSO DETACH. THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD THE BUMPER ARE NOT HOLDING! MY CAR IS IN GRATE/EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT APPEARS TO BE A POORLY ASSEMBLED AND/OR DESIGNE DEFECT MADE BY THE MANUFACTURE SINCE I WAS DRIVE THE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT. I AM ON VACATION HEADED TO SOUTH DAKOTA FROM CALIFORNIA AND THIS PUTS MYSELF, PASSENGER, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY IN DANGER IF IT COMPLETELY DETACHES!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 TOYOTA YARIS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT STRUCK SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE OFF THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER RETRIEVED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT MANUAL TRACK HAS BROKEN. I CANNOT ADJUST IT FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. THERE IS A SPRING THAT FELL OFF UNDERNEATH. I PUT IT BACK CORRECTLY JUST AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO GO, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE ENTIRE LATCHING MECHANISM HAS FAILED. MY 2007 YARIS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER SEAT. THE CHASSIS FOR ALL MODEL YEAR YARIS' ARE THE SAME. I BELIEVE THE SEAT MECHANISMS WE'RE CONTINUED TO BE BUILT WITH A KNOWN ISSUE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES AND THIS SEAT IS BARELY USED.
