2008 Toyota Yaris Complaint Log

Car was in park, ignition off, with the keys removed. The gear shift could apparently move in this locked position and the vehicle rolled backwards with a 6 year old child in the car. The car was totaled after hitting a concrete base to a light fixture. A failure occurred that allowed the car to shift gears off and in park.

The rear subframe is cracked 3/4 way through. And there is a hole rusted through behind the tire. Just found it this week when replacing wheel bearing.

My brakes have failed me many times. I had to eventually get those change in the brakes still aren’t working completely correct

A FRAME THAT HOLDS ENGINE IN VEHICLE IS ROTTED LOOKS LIKE SWISS CHEEZE IT SHOULD BE MADE OUT OF CAST IRON THATS A SAFETY ISSUE

Vehicle is showing an evap canister, purge valve leak which is common across many Toyota`s of high mileage, I would get a faint smell of gas here and there and curious to know if this would be covered. Vehicle is still in great shape and runs strong. Please advise on next steps needed to have this taken care of.

My fiancee bought her 2008 Toyota Yaris on about the 26 Apr 2021. Right off she had brake failure pretty quickly after buying the car. Brake pads were suspected of failing. When the front tires were removed the calipers had built up thick rust on inside surface where the pads sit on both front calipers. The pads were pushed into the rotors heavily causing the driver side rotor to be damaged beyond acceptable limits. The right side rotor was turned successfully with enough rotor minimum thickness remaining. So the rust caused me to replace 1 rotor, both calipers and pads on front and rear brakes. The rust built up on the calipers threaded input and output brake fluid lines threaded attach points. This could have cause a fluid leak that could of been very dangerous leading to injury or death of occupants. I have not reported this to The Toyota dealership or anyone else. I didn't know I could report dangerous items that could be set for a safety recall by the NHTSA. As for the airbags, the driver airbag light stays on and passenger light comes on when 10 pounds of weight is sat in passenger seat. The belt is not latched. My driver seat belt is always latched when I drive. I weigh 130 but the light remains on. So, will the driver air bag inflator explode or fail due to the warning light illuminatimg. I was unaware of a recall for this and 3 others have not been repaired yet by previous owners. The third item is backseat seatbelt female receptical will not latch to the male end on 2 of the 3 seating positions. This is a real safety issue when we place children in the backseat. We can only take 1 child at each drive, so even adults riding in the backseat will be not buckled up, which is un-law and very dangerous causing severe injuries and even death in an accidental collision. I will take my Fiancee's 2008 Yaris to a Toyota dealership for the 4 recalls noted today by VIN,7/29/2021. Thanks, Richard Peavler

I WAS GOING 15-20 MPH ON ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY AND ACCIDENTALLY VEERED RIGHT HITTING THE GUARD RAIL ON THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE CAR. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK, RESULTING IN MY FACE HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL, BREAKING MY NOSE AND CUTTING MY LIP.

THE REAR AXLE BROKE AT THE WELD. DRIVING UNDER NORMAL SPPED AND DRIVING CONDITIONS, I NOTICED A STRANGE RUBBING SOULD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AFTER I GOT HOME I NOTICED THE CLEARANCE ON REAR WHEEL AT TOP WAS MUCH LESS THEN OTHER SIDE, AFTER TAKING TO SHOP I WAS THEN INFORMED OF THE CRACKED/BROKEN AXLE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THERE WERE OTHERS WHO'S CAR'S HAD REAR AXLE'S THAT WERE BREAKING AT THE WELDS AROUND THE SAME YEARS 2007-2009 THIS COULD BE A POTENTIALLY DEADLY

IN THE PAST 8-9 MONTHS I HAVE HAD 2 SETS ( OF 4) TIRE SENSORS REPLACED. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL FIRST BLINK THEN DISPLAY A SOLID BLUE LINE. THE FIRST AND SECOND TIME THE SENSORS SHOWED THEY WERE NOT CONNECTING TO THE TIRES. TODAY THE LIGHT BLINKED, THEN WENT TO A SOLID BLUE WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. I HAD TO DRIVE OVER 50-60 MILES TO GET TO THE BIG O STORE.I STOPPED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS ENOUGH AIR IN THE TIRES TO DRIVE THE 50-60MILES. ONE TIRE WAS 2 POUNDS LOWER THEN THE OTHER THREE. THE LOW TIRE WAS INCREASED TO MATCH THE OTHER THREE AND I CONTINUED TO THE BIG O STORE IN CORTEZ, CO. IT TURNED OUT THAT I WAS DRIVING APPX 2 HOURS WHEN THE SOLID BLUE LIGHT SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. 15ISH MILES LATER THE LIGHT BLINKED FOR 2-3. MILES AND THEN WENT SOLID AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I WAS APPX 2 MILES FROM THE STORE. ONCE AT THE STORE, THE TIRES WERE CHECK AND ALL PRESSURES HAD REMAINED THE SAME. THE SENSORS WERE CHECKED AND THEY WERE ALL CONNECTING AND WORKING. I HEAR THAT ALTITUDE (6500-7000 FT) AND TEMPERATURE CAN AFFECT THE SENSORS (IT WAS BETWEEN 29 TO 31 DEGREE F.) I WAS DRIVING ON MOUNTAINOUS SEMI- WINDING CLEAR ROADS BETWEEN DURANGO AND CORTEZ CO. THIS HAPPENED BETWEEN 11:30AM-2:30PM. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 35-65- MPH ( FROM MANCO TO DURANGO TO CORTEZ, CO I AM GETTING READY TO DRIVE DOWN TO ALBUQUERQUE ( 3.5- 4 HRS) ON MANY 2 LANE ROADS AND DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE ANY CAR PROBLEMS ON ROADS WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OFF.

BOUGHT CAR WITH 99K MILES. NOTED A CLUNK IN SUSPENSION. DECIDED TO FIX BY PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. TURNED OUT IT WAS A BROKEN BOLT THAT HOLDS THE CONTROL ARM INSIDE THE SUBFRAME WHICH IS NOT ACCESSIBLE FROM THE EXTERIOR. STEERING WAS VERY OFF AND THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER: THE FRONT SUBFRAME WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND THE INNER BOLT THAT HOLDS THE LONG HORIZONTAL CONTROL ARM BOLT WAS IMPROPERLY WELDED OR THE INNER SUB FRAME WAS MADE SO WATER COULD GET IN AND RUST SAID BOLD/WELD.

MY CAR IS A TOYOTA YARIS SEDAN, 2008, VIN [XXX]. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA STORE, KENDALL TOYOTA, TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T YET HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD AWAIT FURTHER WORD. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE SHOWS EGREGIOUS DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY. ALSO, IF TOYOTA HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM SINCE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED NINE YEARS AGO, THEN THE UNAVAILABILITY OF A FIX IN 2017 SIGNALS ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE INCOMPETENCE IN THE ORGANIZATION.

TAKATA RECALL, MANUFACTURER STATED THEY HAVE NO REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE AND NO IDEA WHEN ONE MAY BE AVAILABLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR AT LEAST HALF A YEAR. VERY DANGEROUS RISK FOR ME AS I DRIVE A LOT.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR IS IN THE HIGHEST RISK ZONE (ZONE A). I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL ON 6/9/2016 BUT A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AS OF 12/6/2016.

TAKATA RECALL: FORTUNATELY NOTHING SERIOUS HAS HAPPENED, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATES I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS IT MIGHT END IN INJURY OR DEATH. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO OFFER A FIX FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT IN BOTH PERSONAL AND BUSINESS AS I USE MY CAR TO CARRY ENOUGH PASSENGERS TO REQUIRE AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE ONLY RESPONSE I GET FROM TOYOTA IS THAT I NEED TO WAIT AND WORSE, THEY CANNOT GIVE ME ANY KIND OF DATE. THEY ARE PUTTING ME IN THE POSITION THAT I MAY NEED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL MINE WITH A KNOWN RECALL THAT HAS NO STATUS ON WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. TOYOTA HAS PUT ME INTO A FINANCIAL BIND THAT MAY REQUIRE I TAKE A RISK WITH AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. IT'S AS IF THEY ARE OKAY WITH DEALING WITH A FEW DEATHS RATHER THAN SPENDING THE MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I WAS NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA ABOUT THE RECALL OVER A MONTH AGO. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL I AM IN HIGH RISK ZONE BECAUSE I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM ABOUT GETTING A REPLACEMENT. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND WRONG. MY KIDS ARE ALWAYS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN I DRIVE THEM PLACES AND ARE IN MORTAL DANGER. WHEN ARE THESE RECALLS GOING TO BE REMEDIED? IS THERE A TIME LIMIT? I SHOULDN'T BE EXPECTED TO PUT MY PASSENGERS IN DANGER EVERYTIME I DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA RECALL. ON THE NOTIFICATION IT SAYS THAT UNTIL A SOLUTION BECOMES AVAILABLE THAT I SHOULD NOT OPERATE MY VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR. I CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO NOT DRIVE OR RENT A CAR TO PROTECT MY FAMILY AND WANT THE ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS AN AIRBAG RECALL THAT AFFECTS MY YARIS. THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CAN SEND HOT METAL ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG DURING DEPLOYMENT. TOYOTA RECOMMENDS THAT NO ONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED. THE RECALL CAME OUT IN EARLY JUNE FOR MY YARIS, YET BY EARLY OCTOBER THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A COROLLA THAT HAD THE SAME AIRBAG ISSUE, BUT THE FAULTY AIRBAG WAS REPLACED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THE YARIS AT THIS TIME AND IT IS CAUSING ME HARDSHIP BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT. MY TOYOTA DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS NO ANTICIPATED REPLACEMENT DATE FOR THE AIRBAG, SO THE ISSUES I HAVE WILL CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST THE NEAR FUTURE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE RESPONSE BY TOYOTA ON THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY YARIS FIXED SO I CAN USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.
