I recently bought a Yaris, two days ago a hit the sidewalk and my bumper fell off, then the car failed to start, has this happened to anybody here before???
Is this a failsafe device or what the hell is going on???
Thanks.

Fuel cutoff system? page 180 in the owner's manual

If you hit the curb hard enough to take the bumper off you may have loosed a fuse, a relay, some wires or tubes, the battery's connections and/or the starters connections.

I would start looking for anything that's loose.

I would take that thing to the dealership on a tow truck. Bad luck to you though on the curb.

Thanks for all your feedback, I've taken it to a shop.

Just out of curiousity, how does a bumper 'fall' off this car from a curb bite? Were you doing 60 or something?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing! Never heard that one before...?
