Yaris Traction?

[2009Yaris]

I am not experiencing a problem with acceleration. The problem that I am experiencing has to due with no power being applied to the left front wheel. The right wheel spins while the left wheel remains stationary. It is same type of problem that one experiences with a non-positraction rear-wheel drive vehicle. I am beginning to wonder if I have a defective transmission.

I know the problem is not with "the acceleration", but gassing it too hard will spin the tires, the more the tires spin, the harder it is to get going.

If you're positive that one wheel is spinning and the other is not, then I'm afraid that is totally out of my expertise range. But I would look into something being wrong, as like I've said...I've never had a problem.

I don't really know what you mean "difficult to navigate snow covered hills". If you are finding that you are losing control on turns, I can guarantee you the problem is mainly the tires.

I went from all season tires last year (And it wasn't even very snowy) to winter tires this year (a year full of blizzards) and it was a great (albeit expensive) decision. The difference is really mind blowing.
