that overall mileage for your 2010 5 door doesn't seem all that great . You must have something wrong with your YARIS .

Yes, I think it's the loose nut behind the wheel.

During one year I have had the following problems with my Yaris:
1st Accelerator can get stuck
2nd Wheel nuts are rusting
3rd Rear brakes are rusting solid
4th Rear brakes subsequently howl and can not be repaired

Couldn’t one just get a good old VW that runs and runs without any problems?!?



Wheres my damn troll away?? Is the troll that has been banned 47000 times back again as AK47? Maybe he needs to use the Ak on himself.

Sounds like someone left his yaris sitting buried in the snow for 4 months and is surprised he has problems. Properly maintained and used brakes can't "rust solid." Now the pedal recall is just a sympathy plea.

When I look at the outside of the drums through the wheels they sure are rusty, scaling a bit and everything... but I've never seen anything but a brand new drum that didn't look like that. Apparently it's not a problem because no garage has ever suggested they need replacing. That's just the road salt doing it's work. I'd say the lugs are the same thing.

Congo-Otto: Many thanks for your advice and your polite replies. I intend to follow your advice in regard to the hand brake, however, I’m more uncertain about your second advice since I think that only an authorized garage with the right manals and tools should repair brakes. By the way, my Yaris has disc brakes :)

My Yaris was 3 years old when I bought it and it’s now 4 years. Even though my Yaris have full service at an authorized garage it still ended up in this state.

I know that I've entered enthusiasts’ forum and have to take care :) However, in comparison, my 21 years old Colt didn’t have full service but only got new engine oil and oil filter each year that I had to change myself. Nevertheless it never got howling or rusty brakes...
