Yaris Reverse Problem - Automatic

[fowmd887]

Hi all,

Have a Yaris parked on a Very Steep Driveway and the Yaris wouldn't move at all on reverse gear 'Uphill' backup and just couldn't move her out. Ended up driving down slope forward and swing her uphill to get out.

Also, while on road from Stationery on initial gear (Automatic), it tends to have very slow response or pickup. However, once past low gearing, it drives very smoothly.

Where does the problem lies? Someone suggested Fuel Filter but with Yaris, it is maintenance free or built inside the fuel tank. Would that be the Fuel Pump needing a replacement and I hope it is not the transmission.

Thanks in advance.

when did u last change the oil?

Its the f'ed up "drive by wire" gas pedal. Theres a delay between when you step on the gas and the engine responds. Or...you press...and press...and press on the pedal and suddenly it lurches forward.

The cable actuated pedal of the ECHO delivers smooth performance.

Thats progress folks...

I also park my Yaris on a steep drive and occasionally when I switch on the warning light that looks like a cog with an exclamation mark appears and I can't engage reverse. It seems to clear if I switch off then switch back on again. Anyone else experience this?
