:( towed - Toyota Yaris Forums

FoEKuZ · 11-06-2006, 03:42 PM

Well, I was getting onto the highway and all of sudden my yaris just stopped at 60mph....wouldnt go any faster..so i pulled over on the side of the highway, waited around for a good 10 minutes. Then I attempted to get back on the highway, then the yaris wouldnt go over 40mph and the check engine light came on....

so i pulled over again, called a tow guy to tow it to the the nearest dealer....cost me $180.... :(

I still have no word on what the problem is...

Well i just got the call from the maintaince man...

He said that the 4th cylinder had a possible missfire....probably due to the CAI...

they roadtested it for 7 miles and was good to go...

no charge... -

hhmmm.. maybe i need to clean my CAI filter already...i dont know...ill check it out when i get it back...

p.s...thanks for that info violin....

No it doesn't. Reference the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act". Read up: http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?id=60128

Having to pay for the tow?
I believe my Yaris comes with a three year warranty that includes free roadside assistance (I am in Canada). May be I have to check again

.
Edit: Just checked. According to the Owner's Manual Supplement, roadside assistance benefits include towing to the preferred Toyota dealership within 50 km or to the nearest Toyota dealership within 300 km.
