I just got back from the dealership and like in this thread they are going to replace the switch under warranty. The service assissant said it was ironic that 10 min. after I dropped off my car, he received an e-mail "Toyota Tech Tip" on that very issue for 2006/2007 Yaris.
I wonder how many complaints/repairs before an issue becomes a warranty recall and if this may turn into one for Toyota? |

Well, what can i tell you... there is only one dealer here in Panama and they have it monopolized, service really sucks, they wanted to charge me about 96 bucks only for oil, oil filter and air filter replacement... and there is nowhere else to go, otherwise waranty will be void. This should be done at the first 20000 kms, while they just charged me 20 bucks for the 10000 kms service, which was only oil and oil filter replacement. They claim that the laborship was not covered by the waranty after the first service and the car is suposed to be under waranty...
So I learned how to do it from my wife's uncle: he drives a 1st gen Yaris sedan since 2000, One of the firsts actually, and it is having to show major engine issues now, 6 years later. He drives it as a Taxi. That car is running almost all the day, every day, 24/7. 2NZ-FE or 1NZ-FE are good engines, and the car itself is a good one, that's why they use it as a Taxi here or as a Police car... i'm not kiddin...
