hi all, I have this problem too on my 2006 Yaris, but the smell comes only when i reach the speed of 140 to 170 km/h then it disappear when back to low speed, I still don't know what's wrong with it or it's just a normal thing that happens to Yaris

Hello, I had this problem on my 2010 yaris. Started smelling a foul smell around 4111 miles. They could never find the problem. Finally my car almost caught on fire due to the starter was shorting out. They then told me I had an internal short in the starter causing the smell, the starter not to start , and the stereo went bonkers. They replaced the starter , no burning smell now but my car still doesn,t start half the time.
