2007 TOYOTA YARIS HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO WARM UP, BEFORE HE COULD CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. IN THE WINTER TIME, IT WAS WORSE.

OUR LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER DOES NOT PERFORM SAFETY RECALL REPAIRS ON THE WEEKEND, OR ON WEEKDAYS AFTER 4PM. SO CAR WILL REMAIN IN SAME CONDITION UNTIL A DEALER IS FOUND THAT CAN REPAIR SAFETY RECALL ON WEEKEND...IF POSSIBLE. THE RODLAND TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS ACTUALLY VERY RUDE TO ME ON THE PHONE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO FROM HERE. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY UNDERSTANDING. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 YARIS WITH A FAULTY CENTER PILLAR SOUND INSULATOR DUE TO THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP(CLASSIC TOYOTA OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS) REFUSES TO SERVICE MY TOYOTA VEHICLES, STEMMING BACK FROM AN INCIDENT IN WHICH I WAS OVERCHARGED $750 ON A 2008 SCION XB LAST YEAR. THEY HAVE TOLD ME TO 'TAKE MY CAR ELSEWHERE FOR REPAIRS"..BUT THIS IS NOT A "REPAIR" DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR..IT'S A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER, AND SHE IS UNWILLING TO PROCESS MY SAFETY RECALL WORK. I FEEL AS IF I'M BEING CHEATED OUT OF THE GUARANTEED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WITH MY NEW VEHICLE, AND THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY RISKING MY SAFETY BY NOT FIXING A DANGEROUS RECALL (SEAT BELT TENSIONER). COINCIDENTALLY, THE SEATBELT ALREADY FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY WHEN MY CAR WAS STRUCK BY A SMALL TRUCK DIRECTLY IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR...IF THE SEATBELT WAS CORRECTLY WORKING I WOULD LIKELY HAVE SUFFERED LESS DAMAGE TO MY SHOULDERS AND NECK. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO REPORT THIS TO THE LOCAL POLICE AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THOUGH, I HOPE Y'ALL WILL ASSIST ON FIXING MY RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA YARIS SEDAN ALONG I-75 NORTHBOUND TOWARDS ATLANTA WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WINDOW JUST EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. THE SHATTERED GLASS BLEW OUT ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE PASSENGER CABIN. THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL FORCE THAT CAUSED THE GLASS TO SHATTER (IT SIMPLY EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY). *TR
