Obviously these BSR issues do happen in most of our Yaris, and the purpose of this thread is to let other people know if there is a fix to some of these issues. Just as if Polar_Yaris didn't post there is a TSB from Toyota to fix a wire routing in the engine bay that will fix one of the rattling issue, I believe no one will know there is this solution to the problem. Even if you're expecting rattle in this "low class" vehicle, I don't think you'll leave the car rattling like no tomorrow when you know there is a fix for that. Just my 2cents. |

You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Toyota spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the Yaris. That is a lot of money. You are saying that Toyota is too stupid to spend that much money and create a quality product. Again I say you are wrong. My father owns a 1982 Toyota Supra. It has over 250,000 miles on it. It is not in perfect shape. Brand new is costed about 12 grand. Even to this day their are NO squeeks or rattles. You claim you know what you are talking about.If their are regular squeeks and rattles, I say Toyota did not get the value out of its workers that it deserves. If I spent a few hundred million dollars on developing a product, I know I'd want the product to be defect free. That is what you have to understand. The consumer is not the one who paid to create the vehicle. Toyota did. The consumer is just paying to purchase a vehicle that is endowed with all the quality and value that Toyota has placed in these vehicles when they spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create the vehicle. As to your pathetic analogy, if I purchased any product for 3 bucks, it damn well better be defect free or I would return it. Squeeks, rattles, and other constant noises are NOT to be expected, they are defects. They are to be fixed. People like you who expect low quality products are the reason GM makes crappy vehicles and expects them to sell. They think all consumers want are crappy low quality vehicles. It is also the reason Toyota is going to become the #1 World Wide Car Manufacturer this year. They create high quality products and everyone knows it. |

As I said my car does not have any rattles and it shouldn't for most of the life of the car. "Autotech"? You should learn more about cars, or buy a REAL car. The materials used in most cars today are better than 5 - 10 years ago, not cheaper material. The fit and finish on an 11,000 car is just as important as more expensive cars because the next car you purchase will more than likely be decided upon more on experience with your previous vehicles and the less expensive models are usually the best sellers, as it's more in line with the general public. Again, I work in the industry and know a lot about cars. I have worked at and with stamping, assembly and trim automotive manufacturers. I'm basing my comments on facts, not opinions. |

Ok everyone, before it gets out of hand, lets keep it friendly and civil like swng said ! We're all here for the yaris after all, not to fight over nothing. Everyone can disagree and have strong opinions, which is what life is all about, but don't let it spill over into personal attacks, please consider if you would use the same words if you were talking to the person in real life.
thanks everyone ! :) |

And as for Toyota paying to create the product. You are also wrong. The consumer pays for that too... They pay with it with their interest in the product. Without no consumer there is no product, K? Gesh... Ever heard the saying "The customer is always right?" That's just not a BS saying. It's actually true. And for my next point. Whether you pay a dollar, 3 grand, a million of a billion, everything has a defect. Get over it. Don't get me wrong. I baby my parents cars (Yes. I'm only 17) too, but I understand reason too. And also. If they are to be fixed... These defects... Don't you think they'd be loose peices that you could possibly fix with a screwdriver etc? Why would you even bring it into a dealer? Give away more money than you need to? Unless it's something you can't get to, then you must be pretty stupid... And for your 411. GM only makes bad vehicles, because they don't take the time to check their stuff over. And also that is also is very stereotypical, which shows you how much you know about cars. My parents own two GMs (A Vibe and a G6) and they function well. As for the whole GM being lazy... They'd rather deal with recalls, because they know most of their customers won't come to get the recall. So they save money, because they don't have to fix the problem, they created in the first place. If you know anything, it's not because of people like me. You are very ignorant. And also. I am an Auto Technician... Sure I'm only 17, but I am very knowledgeable. And I think I've been pretty helpful, and I don't say anything unless I'm sure it's correct... So you choose to not believe me. And if I say something that isn't correct, feel free to correct me, because I know that I don't know everything... But please don't be ignorant...

I would never consider my Yaris "low class". If there is a rattle that points to some problem, I will get it fixed. I thanked a member for agreeing with me that, inter alia, we all had come to discuss our problems rationally and I agreed that I would be reasonable in my way of approaching the problem of rattles. By doing so, I hoped to win his friendship and understanding so that all could stay focused to contribute positively to the production of more acceptable solutions for the problem of rattles. I was sincere. I do treasure everybody's friendship. Sadly, several posts ago, I already thought that things could come to a head and I was making efforts uninvitedly to avert that, at least for my own comfort. In one of my previous posts, I did hint to the forum adminstrators to pay some attention to the situation. When we come to a forum, we expect to meet people with a diversity of views. In this thread, there are people who think any rattles are unacceptable and there is/are people to whom rattles are unavoidable(talking about the Yaris). As for me, sometimes rattles will happen anyway but if there are repeating rattles that affect my investment, comfort and safety, I will go to see the dealer. That has always been my stand. It has been a pleasure communicating with high calibre people like you guys! Can I now hold out my hand and shake everybody else's? |

Modified Magazine June 2005 By Peter Tarach "It's all About the Shafts"; Project STi "When autmoblie manufacturers design drive axles they design them to be as cost effective as possible and you can't really blame them for this. After all most people want the best bang for their buck when buying a car and this is one of the many ways manufacturers can keep costs down. The problem is these days automobile manufacturers have made them so much weaker that it's becoming a common occurence for high performance modified vehicles to break axles. For example, the new 2004 Honda Civic has drive axles that are weaker than a 1990 Acura Integra and yet the Civic has more standard horsepower. Over the last 10 years the build quility of factory axles has gone down significantly." So even if we were talking about in a ten yr range period (or rather 15 yr I should really say), you'd still be partially wrong. :-P I will still agree with you partially on things have improved... But that's only somethings... Some other things have actually became worse, like this here for example. And so you know that I use facts too, so get your own damn facts straight. You seem to think you now it all, but no one does. I work with a lot of people that think they know everything, but they don't know shit, so I just let them break stuff and laugh at them afterwards, and boy do they look stupid. I'll admit, I myself don't know everything. Happy? :-) And why yes... I'm only 17. Maybe I don't own a car... Hell. I don't even have a license yet, if you really want to know something interesting. :-P And I do have a life and I'm pretty damn sure I read more than you. I take great pride in what I do and I love it. So don't give me anymore of that BS, because I do back up what I say. I'm glad you're bringing your A game though, but you still need to grow up for someone who "works in the industry"... :-P You make me laugh. And by no means am I trying to anger you, but I'm being serious. Last edited by AutoTech1; 03-06-2006 at 08:58 PM. |
