The Yaris sucks.
Blew the serpentine belt with a hair under 39k miles.
Left me stranded and delayed my trip home by five hours, plus a bill for a new belt and 3/4's hour labour - on a Sunday. At least Toyota gave me a one-time-only courtesy tow (just past warranty).  Whichever engineer decided that the Yaris should not have an automatic tension adjustment should be shot, plain and simple. Re-tightening the belt every oil change, with a new belt every 30k miles (per my dealership's service manager) should not be SOP. That's just ungodly stupid. /End rant. |
