Yeah, it's French. I'll ask the dealer if I am the only one who claims this.

The hatch on my 2014 (French built) doesn't always close securely. Occasionally, the light on the dash indicates a door is ajar... and it's always the hatch that needs to be closed more firmly.

The hatch on my 09 doesn't easily latch since new. Since the light in the back comes on when the hatch isn't shut I worried that could drain the battery but it never has.

A few times, my hatch light has been on all night, and I was concerned the car wouldn't start. Now, I'm careful to check if the hatch light is on after closing the hatch.

As mentioned in my post, no. 36, I did check to see if there was any adjustments by removing the hatch opening rear sill trim to reveal the striker's fixing bolts. There is no front to back adjustment. The bolt holes are not elongated at all. Nor is there any way of adjusting the actual latch on the door itself.
I know that in most, if not all, my previous cars there has been some adjustment. My car is due it's second service, at the stealers, in a few weeks, I will mention it then. However, I don't want them to start tampering and making it worse. |

Actually, my 2015 Yaris seems to be built in Belgium. I've just looked into my documents and there's written "TOYOTA MOTOR EUROPE, BEL".

Me too! But a couple of times when the hatch wasn't shut and the light was on all night the car started right up. Now that my battery is approaching 7 years (and Ive decided not to proactively change it) Im much more careful for that not to happen!

Took my 2015 SE in for its first freebie 5K "Toyota Care" service yesterday @ 4800 miles (oil/filter change, tire rotation, check fluids, etc.).
I noticed the last few times that I hand-washed my car that the two black plastic "air fins" that are attached parallel in front of the front tires on either side, up under the bumper, were very loose and didn't seem to be mounted correctly at all. One of the bolts on one wasn't even attached to anything on the car. I asked them to look at it. When my car was finished servicing, the service rep told me that those two pieces weren't mounted/installed properly at the factory (they were on backwards, half-ass and not quite in the right spot). I guess some half-asleep/hung-over French guy worked on my car that day during final assembly. When I look at them now, and tug on them, they are obviously in the proper position, and tight as a drum - just like the rest of the car. On the bright side, that is the only real manufacturing/assembly "defect" that I have found on my car thus far - and I have actively searched for defects in quite the OCD fashion. The one vibration noise that I was getting in front pillar/door area on rougher roads has stopped, so I guess whatever it was has settled in for the long haul. |

Hi, is that shark fin antenna an original spare part? Was it difficult to instal? Some sh*thead stole my antenna yesterday, so I am thinking of mounting this shark fin instead, so it wouldn't be so tempting to steal... Those classic sticks are really easy to unscrew.
