Yaris ABS fix
My 2007 Yaris has 41,000km (my kids drive it between University and Home) and I have had zero problems with this vehicle until last week when I brought it in for the twice yearly oil change.The very next day the ABS light came on!
I googled and found this site and after reading all the Yaris ABS issues with sensors I went back to my local Toyota dealer and had the car hooked to the computerfor $59.88+ tax, and Toyota reported the following: cause: retrieved codes C0210 and C0215 speed sensor malfunctions. correction: requires both rear speed sensors. $827.00 + tax. I told the service advisor, I should not be responsible to pay this amount for a known technical fault especially since there is a Toyota Technical Service Bulletin from June 27th 2008 and secondly was not very happy that as a Yaris Owner was not even advised that there was a problem with the ABS sensors. The Service Advisor agrred to contact Toyota Canada for a possible "Good Will Jesture" on the repair costs. Toyota Canada agreed to pay 60% of estimated costs, my local Toyota dealer said since I serviced the vehicle always at the dealer, the low mileage & age of vehicle, they would also kick in 20% so I am left paying 20% for the fix. Not exactly satisfied that this is free but I am happy to have this resolved for $165.40 versus $827.00! The car is being repaired in next few days. Thanks to all the Yaris owners who made this information known. Other than the ABS sensor this is a very reliable car, the best I have ever owned. P.S. The car will still brake without the ABS just will not have the ABS function, some owners I read would not drive the car until fixed, I found that really funny. |
