New Yaris Gearbox Problem.....
Purchase a new Yaris 1.4 Diesel 6 Speed Manual in late August, car has done less than 800 miles and the gearbox is giving trouble. When you change down from third gear to second, you can't select second gear leaving you stranded as you are too slow for third gear and too fast for first. It's been dangerous at times, especially when coming off a motorway or approach to a roundabout as you are left stranded without being able to select a gear. Car went back to the dealer at the start of this week, no courtesy car was offered, after a few hours told by the dealer they can't find any fault. When asked if they had driven the car the dealer said 'no'. Left the car with the dealer for further investigation and stressed that they need to road test it to find the problem. After 3 days, still not heard back and called the dealer for an update. Dealer said they still can not find any fault so they are going to change the gear selector cables but by their own admission admitted that this will not solve the problem. Has anyone else had problems with the 6 speed manual gearbox in their Yaris as trying to put a portfolio of incidents together to take to Toyota and the media to try and get this resolved. If the dealer can't rectify this, then I'm going to reject the car and buy a Polo instead!
