Know by Toyota Yaris defect

[rslyk]

I believe that the FIRST time that the cars with this are driven for an extended period in a reasonaable heavy rain storm this failure will occur REGARDLESS of period of in
service time. If you look at the replacement parts differences it is clear that they
were concerned enough to do a redesign but not honorable enough to offer
a $100 update to avoid a $1200 repair that was caused by a known defect. This
goes directly to the question of INTEGRITY. This is not a failure of use, wear and
tear or expectation of service....I believe it is a continuation of the corporate
mentality to dismiss known defects as "OUTSIDE" warranty period. To answer
your question of how long....if a change in production is made to correct potential
failure and no offer of at customer cost update at "IN DEALERSHIP" major service intervals is made....forever. This is truely an issue of integrity not warranty. Regardless of the number of complaints you have viewed during your participation in this forum....
to dissmiss this defect is not considerate of those folks who have these infected cars and need to be informed so that they make choice of a $100 up date prior to failure.
