100,000 mile club - Toyota Yaris Forums

BennyLava · 11-07-2016, 08:37 AM

161k on 2009 sedan. Bought the car with 40k on it.

My list of troubles are few. But here they are:

1. Front suspension. The shocks were somehow worn out even though the car only had 40k on it, when we got it. Replaced those.

2. I need to replace a ball joint.

3. Belt started squealing and has been replaced. Still squeals sometimes though...

4. Center console door screws backed out. Took it apart, tightened the screws, and haven't had any trouble with it staying shut since then.

5. Headlights having to be polished out.

6. Some of the rubber door seals letting go and flopping a bit. Siliconed them back down.

Totally forgot - had my belt replaced last year and the problem has gone away. However, this YouTube video suggests it may not be your belt at all:

Forgot to mention this as well - the seal on one side (roof along top of door) has basically rotted out with just some wire there. I need to replace it - they're not expensive, I'm just a lazy dirtbag.

Anyway, right on! 161k is a lot of miles.
