Just a reminder: for your car to be included in the analysis, it's necessary to join the panel. I can't just input info from the thread, no matter how informative these posts are.

The main survey only asks about problems going forward. But the site also collects repair histories and fuel economy data, though these are not required of panel members.

Among 2007 models, the panel currently includes 39 Yaris, 52 Honda Fits, and 102 Nissan Versas. More participation from Yaris owners would be very helpful.

At 3,800 miles, 2007 LB had the following issues:

1. Keyless entry went out.
2. AT harness had to be replaced or repacked to remove vibration.
3. Paint bubbled, and the bubble easily bursts.
4. Aux iPod jack had to be re-grounded, as it produced LOTS of static.

A bit disappointing for a Toyota, but I still love it.

marcus · 05-17-2007, 03:46 PM

seems like we got a { keyless entry } issue here.....

BlueLiftback · 05-18-2007, 07:35 PM

12K now, ZERO issues =)

jamal1984 · 05-18-2007, 09:14 PM

is that factory or aftermarket keyless you guys got?

My keyless entry is factory :-( But it was fixed. :-)

I see what the admin means by hacked...last response to this thread in May 2007.

Well, we'll have a new result for the Yaris in a couple of weeks. 131 ownes signed up so far. A very good start, but more would be better. Especially the new 2009.

17080 miles and no problems, although I did accidentally pull off the handle on the back of the back seat....(the one w/ the cord to raise the seat)...

That cord isn't meant to raise the seat.

It's been three months, so the Vehicle Reliability Survey results for the Toyota Yaris have been updated again.

Repair rates, in terms of successful repair trips per 100 vehicles per year:

2007: 15, much better than average

2008: 11, much better than average

Very good participation by Sienna owners. That said, more would be even better. We especially need more 2008s and 2009s.

For the full set of results, and to sign up to help:

I did the same thing...the new replacement looks different, not like a handle to raise the back seat like the old one.

2008 Sedan
Turned over 20000 kl (~12400 miles), 7 months new. Haven't even driven past the dealership, let alone needed to visit. All scheduled maintenance and upgrades done at home.

Pars · 10-31-2008, 06:13 PM

I traded my 07 Yaris 3 month ago for a RAV4. In less then 2 years I put on 150,000km (94,000miles) of mostly in-city driving. Left rear abs sensor gave out at about 100,000km. They had to replace both the sensor and the harness since the connections were getting corroded. Otherwise, everything else was working well. Especially the engine which became quick from all the hard driving. Also, the brakes where still original and like new. The dealership wanted to machine em because they seemed glazed, but I told them not to, since braking power was still at 100%.

Interestingly, the cost of extended warranty for the RAV4 and the cost Yaris's extended warranty are the same. Go figure considering RAV4 is a 26k car with 4WD and traction control vs a Yaris which is half the price.

If I were in the market for a another Yaris (which is highly likely) I'd probably skip out on the ABS and also skip the extended warranty. Toyota really needs to address the under chassis wiring to handle our harsh Canadian winters???. Granted, the ABS/EDS on the Yaris is awsome, but I'm a old school driver and make do with a good set of winter rubber.

yarswiss · 10-31-2008, 08:24 PM

36,000 miles on mine, had no problems except squealing brakes which I get deglazed each time I do an oil change.

And to think that it is not too uncommon for people in luxury vehicles to have to visit their dealerships multiple times a year due to so many things breaking down!

bnther36 · 12-07-2008, 04:06 PM

32K miles and I'm thinking I've got a bad strut.
