2007 TOYOTA YARIS Complaints

ANY DAY, ANY WEATHER, ANY ROAD CONDITIONS. THE ROAD COULD BE AS DRY AS A BONE. WHEN I DRIVE AROUND A CURVE (IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M DRIVING 45 MPH, OR 15 MPH), THE BREAK PEDAL WILL ENGAGE ON IT'S OWN, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK, AND A BEEPING ALARM WILL GO OFF. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VAN. IT WILL PUT ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. EVERYDAY. EVERYDAY. ANY TIME I DRIVE THIS VAN. MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY FOR THE LAST 15 MONTHS. LOTS OF $, AND LOTS OF TRIPS TO DEALER AND CAR REPAIR SHOPS. CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, BUT IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM. WE TRIED NEW TIRES, CHANGING WHEEL SENSORS, NEW BRAKES, ADDING FLUID TO STEERING WHEEL COLUMN, NEW AXELS... AND THE LIST GOES ON. NOTHING FIXES THE PROBLEM. I'VE READ A LOT OF SIMILAR STORIES ON THE INTERNET. LOTS PF PEOPLE, SAME PROBLEM, AND NOTHING IS FIXING THE PROBLEM ON ANYONE'S VAN. THERE ISN'T A SOLUTION TO A MAJOR PROBLEM.

IN APPROXIMATELY MAY 2015 I REPLACED THE HUB ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. AFTER THE ITEM WAS REPLACED AND ABS SENSOR REATTACHED I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE OF ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ON CONTINUALLY ON THE DASH UPON STARTUP, THEY NEVER GO OFF!!! NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE LOST ABS SINCE THAT TIME. I HAVE HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS CHECKED AND THERE WERE THREE ABS RELAY SENSOR WARNING FAULTS, FRONT RIGHT, AND BOTH BACK WHEELS. SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE WIRING HARNESSES FOR THE THREE WHEELS. THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS NO ABS RELAY FAULTS. THE ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT STILL INCESSANTLY STAY LIT ON THE DASH. I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO RESET THE INTERNAL COMPUTER BY REMOVING THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY. I AM IN THE MILITARY AND HAVE READ MANY ISSUES AND FAULTS REGARDING THIS ABS ISSUE, AND IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE FOR TOYOTA OR A MECHANIC TO TRY AND FIX THIS ISSUE, THAT I HAVE SEEN OCCURRING ON MANY TOYOTAS ACROSS THE USA. THAT'S WHY I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE ON MY OWN. NOW I AM PCS'ING TO MY NEXT DUTY STATION, YET IF I DON'T GET THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO TURN OFF I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP THE CAR.

VEHICLE PARKED, SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT, WILL STAY OUT UNTIL I FEED IT BACK TO THE SLOT. I HAVE A COUPLE OF YEARS WITH THIS PROBLEM HOPING THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A RECALL. PLESE HELP, I DON'T FEEL SAFE. SOMETIMES THE SEAT BELT GETS CAUGHT ON THE DOOR SINCE IT WILL NOT RETRACT.

REAR AXLE CORROSION CAUSED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL TO FALL OFF. THANKFULLY THIS HAPPENED JUST AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED. THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE REPAIRED BY L&M AUTO OF EAST OTIS, MA 01029

TAKATA RECALL, AIRBAG INFLATORS, POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH, SEAT RAIL MY TOYOTA YARIS 2007 HAS THREE UNCOMPLETED SAFETY RECALLS. ONE OF THEM IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG INFLATORS, WHICH ARE "DEFECTIVE AND COULD RUPTURE, CREATING A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH." I CONTACTED "BILL KIDDS TOYOTA VOLVO CARS" SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS TO REMEDY THE SAFETY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, BUT NOONE RESPONDED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME YET.

THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA YARIS IS SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH ACCELERATOR GETTING STUCK AT PARTIALLY DEPRESSED LEVELS (AROUND 50-60 MPH). I HAVE TO PRESS BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS IS SPORADIC AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. I TOOK IT TO VANN YORK TOYOTA IN HIGH POINT, NC AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAUSE OF MY PROBLEM WAS AFTER MARKET FLOOR MATS. THEY CONCLUDED THIS AFTER ONE TIME TRAVELING AROUND 60 MPH. THIS IS NOT THE CASE BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT THE FLOOR MAT INTERFERENCE. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL GET STUCK AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IT. I HAVE LEARNED THAT TOYOTA RECALLED VEHICLES FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I SHOULD DO. THANK YOU. *JS

TAKATA RECALL THE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON 5/23/16. TODAY IS 9/19/17 AND THE RECALL IS STILL INCOMPLETE. THEY HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. SIXTEEN MONTHS IS A LONG TIME TO WAIT...ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERY TIME YOU RIDE AS A PASSENGER YOU RUN THE RISK OF BEING SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BY THE DEFECT. WE MAKE SURE THAT OUR CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK, BUT IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY AND SEND METAL SHRAPNEL FLYING THOUGH THE FRONT SEAT, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THEY COULD STILL BE INJURED OR KILLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR DAILY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. I WOULD RATHER HAVE NO AIRBAG THAN TO RUN THE RISK OF MYSELF, MY CHILDREN OR MY HUSBAND BEING IMPALED BY METAL SHRAPNEL. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED...IMMEDIATELY.
