    THE CAR WAS HIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER CORNER BY A CAR DOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE 2012 4 DOOR YARIS WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET WHEN STRUCK. THE YARIS AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NONE OF THEM. THIS MODEL HAS DUAL FRONT SIDE-MOUNTED AIRBAGS AND FRONT AND REAR HEAD AIRBAGS. *TR

    I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN THE CAR ABRUPTLY POWERED DOWN THE INSIDE LIGHTS, OUTSIDE LIGHTS, HEAT, ETC TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MAKE LOUD NOISES AS IF I WAS TRYING TO START THE CAR, BUT I HAD TAKEN THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I THEN NOTICED THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT WAS ON AND THEN I SMELLED SMOKE. I WAS STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION WITH THE CAR STUCK IN PARK I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE, TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS OR EVEN TURN ON AT THIS POINT. I CONTINUED TO SMOKE AND I SMELLED FIRE SO I GRABBED ALL OF MY THINGS AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. IT WAS RAINING AND A GOOD SAMARITAN POPPED THE HOOD AND THE HARD COLD RAIN PUT OUT THE FIRE. I WAITED UNTIL A TOW TRUCK TOLD THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY AND STARTER CAUGHT ON FIRE. *TR

    TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DID NOT WORK AT DELIVERY, DEALER HAS HAD MANY EXCUSES NOT TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ITEM. *TR

    MAJOR WINDSHIELD GLARE. NOT SURE IF IT'S THE ANGLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, THE BRUSHED-PLASTIC TYPE DASH THAT SEEMS HIGHLY REFLECTIVE, OR A COMBINATION OF THE TWO... BUT WHEN SUNLIGHT HITS THE DASHBOARD, IT CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE SUN, IT CAN BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH AND POSES A HIGH RISK AT ANYTHING IN A SHADED AREA (LIKE DRIVING FROM SUNNY ROAD THROUGH SHADED PATCH). THE GLARE IS NOTICEABLE IN LOW LIGHT AND AT NIGHT WHEN PASSING STREET LAMPS/TRAFFIC LIGHTS. ON A SCALE OF 1-10... THE NIGHT/LOW LIGHT VISIBILITY IS AROUND 1 OR 2 BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THE SUN GLARING ON IT, IT'S MORE OF A 8-9. TEMPORARY SOLUTION WOULD MOST LIKELY BE A DASH MAT BUT MAYBE RE-DESIGN OR DIFFERENT MATERIAL USED WOULD BE BETTER SUGGESTION FOR THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
