You are right, i totally agree..but the information we've gained from you is barely the meat of it...please go in depth or provide the Toyota Service Rep sheet w/ your information blocked out.

Proof is all we ask of you and the rest of the people who claim of the pedal getting stuck. No proof/pics,,,you're like the rest in the media~~

There is a vast majority on here, like myself who bought the Yaris in 2006-2007, and still own the car, and drive a ton of miles (proof shown), but have yet to report this problem....even before the whole toyota recall....ONLY YOU on here my friend~

It's like a new born rabbit popping his head out of the hole because everyone else is doing it....

For this thread, that is not the case. My pedal was stuck, I took it to the dealership, they could not fix it.

I do not know why people are posting on this thread bashing me. This forum is to gain information about the Yaris and that is exactly what I am doing.

Twistoffate0817, what were you previous cars? I just can't understand how you could find all these "problems" or "issues" with the Yaris. I and just about everyone who owns the Yaris is in total love with it.It has one of the highest owner satisfaction ratings in the industry. It is documented to be the most trouble free car on the market. My last car was a Lexus, and I like the Yaris better.

Here's the titles of some of your threads (describing a perfect economy car):

Transmission issue?

Engine Issues

A/C & Car Issues

Rough Automatic Shifting

Steering Wheel Issue.

Problems?

You're free to share your issues, but as you noted, maybe they really aren't problems but maybe you're expecting the feel of a $100K Lexus LS in a Yaris.

This is the reason we have our doubts.

That said, please stick around. No hate is intended.

My thoughts exactly.

[Twistoffate0817]

The Yaris is my first car. I have read some threads on here that claim the yaris has a weird ness to it. So yes, my personal error is claiming my yaris had a problem when that is exactly the way the car is supposed to be acting. I came on this website because when i bought my car the dealership said they were given this website by another yaris customer because it provided information about the car. Yes most of my threads made have to do with "problems" but that is because as I explained this is my first car and I am worried about it all the time.

As a yaris world fan, I dont appreciate the hate towards me with this thread. I have been a fan every since I signed up and support anything and everything that has to do with the Yaris.

You keep saying this. And yet as hard as I search, the only threads I find that claim that the Yaris has this weirdness... are authored by user Twistoffate.

Don't mistake this for hate. I don't hate you. I just think that are currently ignorant and need to learn enough not to feel so helpless all the time.

Start with something simple. Start changing your own oil. Start doing the simple DIY maintenance, and then go from there. Get to know your Yaris so that you aren't so afraid of it. And you *are* afraid of it. It's obvious.

Work toward building your own self-confidence regarding your car.

Well said.

Could it be that the current (and obvious) wave of dementia affecting certain Toyota drivers is actually due to cell phone induced brain cancer? It's worth considering, anyway. :-)

i hand out recall parts ALL DAY long and this person's complaint is nothing compared to what ive heard. BRAND NEW car owners wanting body parts because their car's accelerated into curbs or brick walls is a daily occurance. Funniest was a 1996 camry who's owner tried to say pedal stuck which caused him to take out someone's fence, front lawn and 2 cars that were parked.....

shows how considerate and caring people are these days . I'll wait it out before I pass judgement . Know how it feels loosing brakes when traveling down a very steep hill . Enough to make you cr*p your pants . This happened in a '69 BEETLE and just got my license . So , not much experience .

prove it, we'll all shut up.


scan the paperwork from the dealer visit (black out your personal info) and post
it here or be forever in the Bulls**t category. nuff said

You are implying that credible evidence exists in support of these alleged problems. I have looked, and found none. Every purported incident of which I am aware has unexplainable holes and/or is suspicious in other ways.

I would be more inclined to take the view that the recalls are at least in part bogus. Now that the anti-Toyota propaganda bandwagon is rolling down the hill at the speed that it is, they *must* appear to be doing something, regardless of whether a real problem exists or not. This has become a major PR problem involving public perception regarding Toyota. Even the great expense of the recalls is nothing compared to what is at stake. Again... *regardless* of whether a real problem exists or not.

And the dearth of actual evidence which bears even cursory inspection is notable, to say the least.

[Kal-El]

So far, not one piece of evidence has been discovered regarding the cause of unintended acceleration.

I stand by the belief that every single case is driver error.

lmfao..... this is funny.....

none the less my brake got stuck almost all the way down the other day on my way to work. it was strange. i had to slam on the brake, ABS kicked in and they wouldn't let go.....


cause......


100%my own error!! dont get me wrong it freaked the crap out of me and the first words out my mouth after i puilled over and enjoyed the smell of toasted brakes was GOD DARN TOYOTA, THEY MESSED UP ALL OF THERE SHIT!! then, after about 2 mins of snooping around and wondering what to do i realized my cd case got in the way.... lol. dont put stuff in that little compartment under the steeringwheel...that plastic should never be poped off, lol.

moral, grow up and take accountability for not taking proper planning and precautions.....

toyota did

and anyone who has a toyota must too, and not jsut use the recalls as a copout, scape goat, w.e. you will


jsut my $0.02

Are you saying that you actually got down and personally investigated possible causes of the perceived incident? How very lame of you. All the cool kids either do what ToF did and park their car, refusing to drive it until someone else looks at it (making several posts to forums in the mean time) or call Fox News with the harrowing story of their Date With Death.

Whatever in the world possessed you to deign to crawl around and solve the problem yourself? You didn't even get to be on TV.

TwistofFate, relax, please.
