  TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR SINCE EARLY SUMMER. I HAVE SENT YOUR AGENCY A COMPLAINT AND HAVE CALLED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES. AT WHAT POINT DOES YOUR AGENCY INSIST THAT THE MANUFACTURER REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. WAITING FOR OVER 1/2 YEAR WHILE DRIVING PARTIALLY FUNCTIONING CAR IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

• 12/30/2013· TIRES

  AFTER HAVING 4 NEW GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL-MAX TIRES FOR APPROX 10 MONTHS AND 10,000 MILES, OBSERVED BULGES FORMING ON SIDEWALLS OF 3 OUT OF 4 TIRES. GOODYEAR WAS UNWILLING TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECT, BUT AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS TO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, THEY REPLACED THE 3 TIRES EXHIBITING THE PROBLEM WITH A DIFFERENT MODEL TIRE AT NO COST AS A MATTER OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. SINCE MANY PEOPLE HAVE POSTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AND INDEED ANOTHER CUSTOMER WAS IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I WAS THERE, AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED.

• 12/29/2012· SERVICE BRAKES

  THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN DEFECT ON TOYOTA YARIS MODELS (USA MODEL YEARS 2007 TO PRESENT) THAT OCCASIONALLY IN COLD, SNOWY WEATHER, THE REAR ABS CONNECTOR WILL HAVE DEBRIS 'GUNK UP' THE CONNECTION, DISABLING THE ABS - OBVIOUSLY A VERY HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE WINTER. THERE ARE MANY WELL-DOCUMENTED SITUATIONS OF THIS AND THREADS ON YARISWORLD.COM DATING FROM 2008 UNTIL TODAY (HTTP://WWW.YARISWORLD.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=11533). THE FIX APPEARS TO BE STRAIGHTFORWARD AND INEXPENSIVE; HOWEVER TOYOTA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS, HAS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THE ISSUE, AND WILL NOT EVEN COMPLETE THE TEMPORARY FIX FOR OWNERS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THE SAFETY RISK IS LARGE. *TR

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA YARIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL GRINDING WHEN HE WOULD APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. HE THEN NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE E LOWER FRONT CONTROL ARM BOLT WAS CORRODED AND HAD FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SUB FRAME WOULD NEED TO BE DROPPED AND THE CONTROL ARM BOLT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

  The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Yaris. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the air bag warning light and "Passenger Air Bag Turned Off" warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V741000 (Air Bags) and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The contact stated that the warning lights including the seat belt warning light had been illuminated. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

• 12/27/2007· TIRES

  THE FAILURE WAS NOT ON MY VEHICLE, BUT ON SOME 18 WHEELER WHICH LOST ITS RETREAD. I HIT THE RETREAD DEBREE LAYING IN THE ROAD, A PIECE 2-3 FEET LONG. I NEARLY WRECKED 1ST TRYING TO AVOID IT AND THEN WHEN I HIT IT. IT TORE UP MY EXHAUST PIPE WHICH WILL NEED REPAIR. I BELIEVE THESE RETREADS AUGHT TO BE MADE ILLEGAL SINCE THEY MUST BE RAILING AT A HIGH RATE, JUST LOOKING AT THE DEBREE I NOTICE ALONG THE SIDE OF A TYPICAL INTERSTATE. IS THE COST SAVINGS TO TRUCKERS WORTH THE RISK IMPOSED ON OTHER DRIVERS AND THE COST OF REPAIR TO THEIR VEHICLES, MOST OF WHICH IS ABSORBED BY THE VICTIM OF THIS JUNK. IT IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVERS OF SMALL VEHICLES, WHICH HAVE LOW GROUND CLEARANCE. I HIT THIS WITH A YARIS. *TR

  I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY 2007 TOYOTA YARIS WAS RAMMED FROM BEHIND IN A REAR END COLLISION. I SUSTAINED SEVERAL INJURIES. MY AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY, BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. IN ADDITION, THE SEATBELTS DIDN'T WORK EITHER. I SUFFERED A COMMINUTED FRACTURE TO MY LEFT DISTAL CLAVICLE, FRACTURED L1 TRANSVERSE PROCESS, AND I'M HAVING SURGERY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE CAUSED FROM MY FACE HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENED ON OCT 20, 2015 AND I JUST FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 TOYOTA YARIS'. I CAN PROVIDE ADDITION INFORMATION IS NEEDED.

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA YARIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

• 12/22/2013· SERVICE BRAKES

  12/21/13: THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE 35F AND RAINING. AFTER A TRIP OF ABOUT 8 MILES MY CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FOR A COUPLE HOURS. UPON STARTING THE CAR FOR MY RETURN TRIP I NOTICED THAT THE DASH INDICATORS FOR ABS AND BRAKE WERE LIT AND REMAINED LIT THROUGH THE DURATION OF MY TRIP OF ABOUT 8 MILES. THESE INDICATORS HAVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. 12/22/13: (NEXT DAY) WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE INDICATORS WERE AGAIN LIT AND REMAINED LIT. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES I NOTICED THAT THE INDICATORS WERE NO LONGER LIT. RESEARCH HAS INDICATED A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CONNECTORS TO THE ABS SENSORS IN THE REAR WHEELS FOR WHICH TOYOTA EVENTUALLY RELEASED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN. IN LATER YEARS THE CONNECTORS WERE REDESIGNED TO BE MORE RESISTANT TO WATER AND SNOW. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OCCURRENCES OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE NORTHERN US AND CANADA. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE AN EXTENDED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AS THEY DID FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE CORRODED SUSPENSION BOLTS. *TR

• 12/21/2009· POWER TRAIN

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

• 12/11/2016· AIR BAGS

  IT HAS BEEN OVER SIX MONTHS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG COMPONENT NEEDS REPAIRED/REPLACED (THIS IS DUE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS). IN THE MEANTIME, NOBODY IS ABLE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE SMALLER SIZE OF THE MODEL OF THE CAR - LOSING ONE PASSENGER SEAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE, ESPECIALLY FOR AN ADULT WHO WOULD NORMALLY SIT THERE INSTEAD OF THE BACK! WE HAVE HAD TO ADJUST HOW OUR FAMILY TRAVELS FOR OVER SIX MONTHS. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY OR WE SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH A COMPARABLE, *FULLY USABLE* VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME.

• 12/11/2010· SUSPENSION,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. UNDERNEATH THE 2007 YARIS THERE IS BOLTS HOLDING THE CONTROL ARM TO THE SUSPENSION. SIMPLY PUT THE BOLT HAS RUSTED OUT AFTER ONLY THREE YEARS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. IT APPEARS THAT WHEN WATER SPLASHES UP UNDER THE CAR AND GETS CAUGHT THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE WATER TO DRAIN. IT JUST SITS ON THE BOLT. IF/WHEN THIS RUSTS OUT THE CONTROL ARM COULD SEPARATE FROM HE SUSPENSION AND CAUSE THE AUTOMOBILE TO LOSE CONTROL. IT IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. I URGE YOU AND TOYOTA TO LOOK INTO THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY, AS THERE IS MANY OTHER AUTOS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IS A SIMPLE FIX IF CAUGHT UP FRONT. UNFORTUNATELY FOR FOLKS LIKE ME, WHO ALREADY HAD THIS HAPPEN TO. IT WILL COST HUNDREDS. FORTUNATELY, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO ME ME YET. BUT I CANNOT GET SOMEONE TO FIX IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK AND I HAVE TO GET TO WORK. SO I WILL CROSS MY FINGERS THAT IT DOESN'T GET WORSE.

• 12/07/2018· STEERING,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),SERVICE BRAKES

  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.

  "TAKATA RECALL" - I LIVE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS WHICH IS DESIGNATED CLIMATE ZONE 2A HUMID. IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS SINCE TOYOTA SENT ME A LETTER INFORMING ME OF A RECALL OF MY CAR DUE TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. IN THE LETTER, IT STATED THAT IN A HOT, HUMID CLIMATE SUCH AS OURS, THE TAKATA AIRBAG WOULD BE EXPECTED TO BEGIN DETERIORATING ABOUT SIX YEARS AFTER MANUFACTURE AND BE TOTALLY DETERIORATED BY NINE YEARS. I DIDN'T GET THE LETTER UNTIL NINE YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. IT'S LIKE TOYOTA SAYING, "GUESS WHAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IN YOUR CAR IS LIKELY TOTALLY DETERIORATED NOW, SO WE RECOMMEND YOUR NOT CARRYING ANY PASSENGERS UNTIL WE GET AROUND TO REPLACING YOUR AIR BAG." I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY WIFE AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AROUND QUITE OFTEN SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT THE YARIS, AND NOW I'M JUST FINDING OUT IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR THEM TO BE RIDING AS A PASSENGER FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, AND ESPECIALLY NOW. I'M ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED THAT IT TOOK TOYOTA SO LONG TO INFORM ME OF THIS PROBLEM AND ESPECIALLY MORE SO WHEN I THINK I WAS GAMBLING WITH MY FAMILY'S SAFETY EVERY TIME WE WERE USING THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WANT TO GET MY AIR BAG REPLACED NOW OR FIND OUT HOW I CAN DISABLE THE AIR BAG. I WILL ALSO ACCEPT GETTING A SIMILAR MODEL LOANER CAR WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS NO OLDER THAN TWO YEARS OLD.
