I had a related problem that came up. Driving back from Grand Bend/Sarnia, i LOST the ability to turn on my highbeams. The left column stick was stuck. Unmovable. They had to replace the column to fix. They never told me why it happened.

Interesting.
This month's survey is the last before the February results. Additional participants would be helpful, especially for the 2009. Car reliability research |

CD player isnt playing CDs until car is quite warmed up (20+ mins of driving often)
VERY annoying. It just keeps flashes "Error 1." Took it in today to get a new unit put in, but the one they ordered had the same prob.

Vibration on un-even roads under my foot, driver side. Will bring it again to the dealer this weekend. On a side note, is this normal?

We have updated results, and the Yaris continues to have a low repair rate.
A big thanks to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May, August, and November. Additional participants needed, especially for the 2009. We now have a separate results page for each model that includes the results for competitors. The page for the Yaris: Toyota Yaris reliability comparisons |

Mine's been through more than 13K miles and the only problem is the driver doesn't know how to follow the speed limit

I have been driving Hondas for a lot of years, too and find the clutch on the Yaris a little touchy. |

Almost at 10,000 miles on my 08. My battery goes dead after just 4 to 5 days of sitting. When the car is first started, the gears are hard to get in and out of. The Air/ fuel mixture sensor on the header was cross-threaded. Problem with the sparks being all burned out after problem with the A/F mixture sensor. Headlights were too dim until I replaced the bulbs with ultra whites. Tires are cheap and slide a LOT!!! Extended warranty does cover all work though, so don't let them nickel and dime you, like they tried to do to me. A/C takes up a LOT of engine power while engaged. I always seem to experience a lot of wait time when it comes to oil changes and stuff on my car.

My unlock key only unlocks the drivers door when it feels like it. And then sometimes triggers the alarm. And alarm likes to go off when im driving sometimes too. Depends on how the car feels. I think its trying to keep me from getting in and then when im in its trying to tell me to get out.

Appreciate the responses in the thread, but can only use data submitted through the survey.
Especially need more 2008s and 2009s. Car reliability research |

25,000 miles, plain jane '07 5 speed hatchback. Only problem is the stinky A/C that the warrenty covers. Will get it repaired next week. My wifes car, she loves it. I hate the clutch. 1st gear should be geared lower IMO. Gtreat little car, plan to run it till the wheels fall off. I've used Moile 1 oil and am pleased.
