2008 TOYOTA YARIS Wheels Problems

I TRIED TO STOP + COULD NOT. IF FEEL AS IF THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, ONE THAT DOES NOT MEET HIGHWAY STANDARDS, IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT BEFORE SELLING TO ME ON OCTOBER 31, 2016. I HAD TROUBLE GETTING MY TITLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP + HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE + IT WAS WITHIN THE 30 DAY WARRANTY PERIOD, + THEY TOLD ME EVERY TIME THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK, UNTIL I WAS IN MY ACCIDENT + NOW HAVE + AM STILL DEALING WITH SEVERAL MEDICAL ISSUES.

PURCHASED 2008 TOYOTA YARIS SEDAN USED IN 7/09 FOR MY DAUGHTER WITH 16,000 MILES ON IT. SHE'S AT COLLEGE SO I DRIVE IT EVERY OTHER DAY TO WORK WHICH IS ONLY 10 MILES. I BEGAN TO NOTICE A SOUND WHEN I MADE A SHARP RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT LIKE THE NOISE OF AN ACTUAL BAR AND ALSO A RATTLE IF I WENT OVER A SMALL DIP IN THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED NEW TIRES ON 10/12/12 @ 29,645 MILES, I BOUGHT GOOD,SAFE TIRES:GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES 185/60R15. ON 5/10/13 I HAD HER CAR SERVICED AT TOYOTA: OIL CHANGE, TIRES ROTATED, INSPECTION OF AIR FILTER, BALL JOINTS, ETC. AFTERWARDS, AS I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER AND I UP TO MY SON'S COLLEGE GRADUATION IT WAS 80 DEGREES/SUNNY/CLEAR ROADS. 52 MILES INTO OUR TRIP I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE FOLLOWING TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH.WATCHING THE ROAD,...

2008 TOYOTA YARIS HATCHBACK S RECALL IS FOR THE WEIGHT CAPACITY STICKER. APRIL 11, 2009 MY FIANCEE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH FOUR OTHER PASSENGERS INCLUDING MYSELF. THE CAR ENDED UP SLIDING SIDEWARDS AT LESS THAN 10 MPH AND CAME TO REST AT AN ANGLE ON THE GUARD RAIL. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER, OUTSIDE DOOR, BACK QUARTER PANEL AND RIMS WERE SCRATCHED AND DENTED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED DUE TO THE WEIGHT CAPACITY LIMIT ON THE TIRE SIZE, WHICH WAS INCORRECTLY LABELED BY TOYOTA. *TR

THE ABS BRAKE SENSOR CONNECTOR ON THE REAR WHEELS HUBS IS NOT SEALED AND ALLOWS WATER AND ROAD SALTS TO CORRODE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION, WHICH CAUSES THE ABS SYSTEM TO BE DEACTIVATED.THE VEHICLE STILL HAS BRAKES BUT NO ABS BRAKES. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO TOYOTA FOR DIAGNOSTICS THEY SAID THAT IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS NO PERMANANT FIX AS OF YET. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT WOULD BE $600.00 PER WHEEL TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN THE NEXT WINTER. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX IT. *TR

I HAD BAD EXPERIENCE WITH TOYOTA YARIS 2008. I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 264 EAST AT 70MILES/HR ON CRUISE CONTROL. SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED JUMPING LEFT AND RIGHT. I TRIED TO CONTROL THE STEERING BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. ANOTHER CAR WAS COMING FROM MY RIGHT SIDE SO IN ORDER TO SAVE THAT CAR I SLIGHTLY TURNED THE STEERING TO LEFT. MY CAR STARTED SPINNING AND WENT OFF THE ROAD & AFTER 3-4 SPINS I COULD FINALLY STOP THE CAR. THE DEALER AND SERVICE PEOPLE COULD NOT FIND THE REASON FOR IT. WHILE MY CAR WAS SPINNING MY TWO TIRES GOT PUNCTURED AND ONE RIM BROKE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE ALSO COULD NOT HELP ME IN THIS AND ALL THE EXPENSE[$ 500] HAS COME ON ME ONLY. EVERYBODY IS WASHING THEIR HANDS OFF. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT WENT WRONG IN THE CAR. *TR
