As long as Toyota provides good customer service and continue to build fun to drive and fuel efficient cars (like the Yaris) I'll stay with them. I'm planning to stay w/ my Yaris long term. It's an excellent little car!

The fact that this thread is 14 pages long and the Yaris isn't in the recall only proves the fact that this American media classic fear campaign has really gotten to people.

If you operate a machine and you are unaware of how to use it properly and completely you take that responsibility and any consequences into your own hands.

This wouldn't be a problem if it took more than 5 minutes to get a drivers' license in America. Or more than $5.

Well, there are wait times at the DMV, and I thought there were card fees?

And I think there should be testing and licencing to have and operate horns.

Aren't the Prius brake parts the same as the ones used in the yaris? I know a lot of our parts are the same.

Prius has a software glitch


just needs new software loaded.


Toyota officials described the problem as a "disconnect" in the vehicle's complex anti-lock brake system (ABS) that causes less than a one-second lag. With the delay, a vehicle going 60 mph will have traveled nearly another 90 feet before the brakes begin to take hold.

1 second is an ETERNITY in a panic. I will still buy a dozen Toyotas over any other maker, but DANG!!!!

On the positive side, when Toyota starts selling the recalled vehicles again, they will inevitably be offering some great rebates and other incentives to get customers back.

I truly believe my Yaris has some issues that need to be resolved. As some may know, I have always felt my yaris had some type of flaw. My Brakes are not stopping my vehicle well enough, and now today I was driving down the road, had a cd in, and it just randomly chaged from the CD to AM radio. It is just all very weird.

conspiracy!!
Take Ford for instance, and not that long ago. In October of last year, Ford recalled 4.5 million cars to replace a faulty cruise control deactivator, which was shown to be a fire hazard. That brought the total number of cars recalled for this specific problem up to 16 million - the largest single recall ever in automotive industry history.
were is the media on this story

Yes, I remember this! And while it was in the news, I don't remember it being made up to the same level that this Toyota thing is.

My last car was a ford puma (small coupe) which blew up on the motorway... Then I decided to go for something more reliable, either a honda or a toyota but I didn't really like the jazz (fit) and the civic was too expensive with only a 1.4 engine so the yaris was the obvious choice. I've done 1000 miles so far and I love it, especially after installing the rear sway bar :p Sure the recall is a pain but they are doing their best to fix it.

The biggest rub is that there was nowhere near as much coverage in 2008 when Ford had to recall 12 million vehicles due to a cruise-control switch catching fire. As a matter of fact, the top six recalls of all time were American-built cars. The 2.3 million cars affected by the Toyota recall doesn't even make the top ten list of recalls! #10 is the 1987 Ford recall of 3.6 million vehicles, which affected 1.3 million more vehicles than this Toyota recall!

S.U.V.s that rollover easy , tires that blow , and a roof that collapses during a rollover . No thank you . Still stick with TOYOTA .

[Mistry]

If Yaris is not on the list in U.S.A, in Europe it is.

NBC news Washington tonight covered the fact that pedals are getting stuck on the pile of floor mats that a lot of people have under the drivers pedals
