Our Toyota Yaris was involved in front end accident on 11/4/21; no airbags deployed as a result of the accident. The car was declared a total loss (TL) by USAA. Calliber Collision (775-353-4400) in Sparks, NV currently has the car. I requested they complete a diagnostic report on the airbags (to confirm the car has airbags, if they should've deployed, etc.) but they won't run the diagnostic report since USAA declared it a TL. (USAA confirmed this is the case - no diagnostic report will be done since the car is a TL...even when I requested the report.) Our daughter's safety was put at risk since the car's airbags did not deploy. The car had no warning messages, etc prior to the accident on 11/4/21.
I have found that the TCS/DSC control malfunctions occasionally and can lead to lose of power to the wheels right when it is necessary to avoid an accident. The worst time was when it was snowing out and even if I floored it the wheels did not turn. Once I shut off the TCS/DSC control I regained control and was able to avoid an accident. Originally I had thought that the occasional hesitation when slowing to make a turn and then suddenly accelerating only to find the car bogged down was not from the transmission but from the TCS/DSC control. Ever since the car was new I have had this problem of hesitation when turning from a slowing down to near stop then accelerating only to find that the car will not accelerate for a few seconds. I have now tried to deactivate the TCS/DSC control to avoid this problem.
WHEN I DRIVE OVER REFLECTORS IN THE ROAD AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING SPEED LESS THAN 25 MPH CAR WILL RANDOMLY ENGAGE FRONT END COLLISION WARNING, BOTH AT DAY AND NIGHT. THE LIGHT APPEARS ON DASH, THE ENGINE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSES AND THE CAR JERKS OUT OF MY CONTROL. I HAVE TAKEN TO TWO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND SHOWED THEM VIDEO. THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM, AS SOON AS I LEAVE, THE PROBLEM REPEATS. I WAS TOLD THE CAR IS PERFORMING IN A NORMAL MANNER AND THERE IN NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AND CALLED TOYOTA DIRECTLY WITH NO ASSISTANCE.
VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES. CAR BEGAN JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WAS AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVER AND THE OTHER CARS AROUND. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A MILE RADIUS. I BARELY MADE IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY.

THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND SUSTAINED KNEE AND FACE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MATTHEWS MOTORS WILMINGTON DEALER (5723 MARKET ST, WILMINGTON, NC 28405) AND WAS TOLD THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VEHICLE.

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT .ON CAR UNDER 60000 MILES
SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, IT HAS MADE A VERY HIGH PITCH NOISE WHEN I PRESS THE BREAKS. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT IT DOES HAPPEN AND THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY NOR HAVE THEY TRIED TO FIX IT UNTIL THE FREE PACKAGE WAS OVER.
THE WINDSHIELD CRACKS WITH NO REASON (NOTHING HIT/IMPACTED IT). WHEN THE CAR WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED BY THE TOYOTA DEALER WITH AN OEM WINDSHIELD. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, THE NEW WINDSHIELD HAS TWO MAJOR CRACKS, AGAIN WITH NOTHING HAVING IMPACTED IT AND WITH NO MAJOR TEMPERATURE SWINGS THAT MIGHT CAUSE A CRACK. (DATE IS ESTIMATED.) VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ALL TIMES THE WINDSHIELDS CRACKED.

MY VEHICLE HAS 21K MILES 2017 BOUGHT NEW AND THE FRONT ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I DRIVE LOCAL, AND I AM BEING TOLD HARD STOPS ON BRAKES WILL OVERHEAT THE ROTORS. I DO NOT DRIVE AT 90MPH THEN JAM ON THE BRAKES. I DO NOT DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CANNOT DRIVE AFTER DUSK. I BELIEVE THE ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE. I NOTICE WHEN I DRIVE 10 MILES AND BACK THE ROTORS ARE TO HOT TO TOUCH, THEY ARE OVERHEATING. I CALLED TOYOTA USA AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME. I SHOULD NOT BE REPLACING ROTORS AT 21K MILES. I HAD A 2008 YARIS AND DROVE THAT CAR FOR 5.5 YEARS AND I NEVER REPLACED ROTORS.

CAR SHUTS ON AND OFF, OFF AND ON WHEN STARTING OR WHILE DRIVING.
I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THEN 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL. SO MY ISSUE IS WHEN I'M AT A LIGHT AND I'M IN DRIVE OR REVERSE YOU CAN SEE THE RPM JUMP AROUND TO ABOUT 400 TO 700 AND THE CAR STARTS TO VIBRATE SHAKING THE CAR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 23,XXX MILES ON IT.
THE EXACT TIRES/CAR I HAVE WERE NOT LISTED. THEY ARE: 2017 TOYOTA YARIS IA TOYO PROXES A27 TIRES TODAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON SURFACE STREETS. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND A WARNING CAME ON THAT SAID I HAD LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT THE NEXT BLOCK TO CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE AND DISCOVERED MY TIRE WAS COMPLETELY SHREDDED. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN 2 MILES FROM WHERE I HAD STARTED AND MY TIRES WERE FINE WHEN I LEFT. THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TWICE. ONCE ON AUGUST 1ST, 2018 AS I PARKED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET (THE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN COME ON AT THIS TIME) AND THE SECOND TIME TODAY, OCTOBER 3RD, 2018. BOTH TIMES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETELY SHREDDED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TIRE EXPLODE LIKE THIS AND I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN TWICE OVER THE COURSE OF TWO MONTHS IN A 16 MONTH OLD CAR WITH ONLY 20K MILES ON IT. I HAD A 200K MILE 2002 HONDA AND WHILE IT HAD FLATS ONCE EVERY 5-6 YEARS MAYBE, I NEVER HAD A TIRE EXPLODE LIKE THIS AND I DRIVE LESS NOW THAN I DID WITH MY HONDA. THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE TIRES THAT MAKES THEM SO SUSCEPTIBLE TO SHREDDING LIKE THAT. IT MAKES ME VERY SCARED TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I WORRY THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS I WILL BE ON A FREEWAY OR NOT SOMEWHERE EASY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THE CAR DOES NOT LIKE THE ACCELERATE, WHEN PUSHING THE GAS YOU HAVE TO PUT IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT TAKES ABOUT 15 SECONDS TO ACTUALLY ACCELERATE. AT 40,000 MILES THE REAR SHOCKS WENT OUT, AND THE LEFT REAR TIRE WORE DOWN AND IS BULGING.
AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO TOYOTA AND SEVERAL DAYS OF REPAIR THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE TOYOTA YARIS HAVING THE TIRE SIGNAL TURNING ON NOT ONLY IS IT A WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE IT TURNS ON EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO AT RANDOM TIMES AND WE HAVE TO TAKE IT AND PAY TO TAKE IT TO GET IT FIXED AGAIN BUT IT ALSO IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT'S HIGHER COULD REALLY BE LOW AND I JUST THINK IT'S MESSING UP AND I GET A FLAT TIRE AND BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR HOURS. OR THE TIRE COULD BLOW OUT AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A WRECK AND I COULD INJURE MYSELF OR THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR
THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THAT WHEN I NEEDED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE IT WOULDN'T, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS IS I WILL COME UP TO A CORNER TO MAKE A TURN AND INSTEAD OF STOPPING I ACCELERATE TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR HESITATE . SOMETIMES I HAVE HAD TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND EVEN THEN IT TAKES SOME TIME FOR THE CAR TO MOVE FASTER. ALSO I HAVE FOUND THAT IN TRAFFIC I WILL NEED TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A COLLISION ONLY TO FIND THE CAR DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT AND SEEMINGLY HESITATING. NOW NOT EVERY TIME DOES THIS HAPPEN, BUT IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. THIS DANGEROUS, AND I ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEY DID BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING. IT WAS ON JULY 19, 2017 THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, LOMBARD TOYOTA CUSTOMER #103445, INVOICE #382304.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA YARIS. WHILE MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS, THE VEHICLE FINALLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ONLY EXHIBITED THE FAILURE WHEN TRAVELING ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (COUNTRY TOYOTA IN WESTPORT, CONNECTICUT) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING ACCORDING TO STANDARDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN TWO MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1708151519. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,431.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL WAS CHANGED AT 535 MILES. 20 MILES LATER SAME ISSUES BUT ONLY AT FIRST FROM A DEAD STOP. NOW AT 2100 MILES THE CAR HAS THE SHUDDER IN 5/6 GEARS AS WELL BETWEEN 59MPH TO 72. ALSO MANUAL GEAR LEVER STARTED TO DEVELOP 1/4 INCH PLAY SIDE TO SIDE. ITS HARD TO PUT IN FIRST/SECOND AT TIMES DUE TO PLAY.
