Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 TOYOTA YARIS, I WAS BURNED BY A HOT BEVERAGE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE CUP HOLDER BECAME LOOSE AND CAUSED THE CUP TO BECOME UNSTABLE, SPILLING THE CONTENTS ON MYSELF AND CAR. THE CUP HOLDERS ARE LOCATED IN A POSITION THAT PUTS FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS AT RISK OF INJURY BECAUSE OF THEIR LOCATION. IN A COLLISION OR ABRUPT STOP, CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED FOR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I HOPE TOYOTA WILL FIX THIS FLAW AND ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD FOR CONSUMERS. I RECEIVED MEDICAL TREATMENT AND CONTACTED TOYOTA, YET THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HAPPY CUSTOMER WITH THE CAR UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. *TR
