I bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris brand new. It's a one owner car with 216000 miles. 5 years ago, I noticed that the side skirt was rusty near the back wheel. Over time, they rusted out. One month ago, while pulling in at the gas station, I heard a crunch. I felt the drivers side of my car go down as well. Got out and drivers rear wheel was tilted in at the top. The passenger rear wheel was also leaning in at the top. The rear axle was rusted out on the welds. The car was about to crumple up in two. It looks to me like the car had a defect in which water somehow accumulated or ran down the back of that side skirt and rusted it, then the rear axle out. My little economical car is junked out. It may be one of the cheapest cars...well...

THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH I HIT THE FENCE BESIDE THE WINDOW.
WATER DRAIN FOR A/C SYSTEM CONDENSER CLOGGED. HAS HAPPENED EVERY SUMMER SINCE PURCHASE IN 2007. WATER FILLS THE DRAIN, AND GETS TRAPPED WITHIN THE UNIT LEADING TO AN OVERFLOW ONTO THE BLOWER AND BLOWER MOTOR SHORTING THE RELAYS. FUSES ARE BLOWN, AND THE BLOWER MOTOR NEEDS REPLACING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. A MOLD BUILDUP ALSO OCCURS IN CARPETING LEADING TO A HEALTH HAZARD. *TR
ON 16 AUGUST, 2013, WHILE TURNING INTO A GARAGE PARKING SPOT I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE TO COME TO FULL STOP BEFORE THE CONCRETE COLUMN AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPACE WHEN, OF ITS OWN ACCORD, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD AT MUCH ACCELERATED SPEED. THE CAR CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE COLUMN DESTROYING THE FRONT LEFT HEAD LIGHTS, ENTIRE FRONT GRILL WORK, AND THE FRAME OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS BENT SO THE DOOR WOULD NOT BE OPENED. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. ON 20 AUGUST, 2013 MY INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. *TR
THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STAY OPEN ON ITS OWN , THERE ARE NO SPRINGS OR ANY DEVICE TO KEEP IT OPEN ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR IS ON A INCLINE. MYSELF ,MY PARENTS AND BOYFRIEND HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY THE TRUNK LID. VERY PAINFUL. DID QUESTION THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS HOW THE CAR WAS MADE. *TR
