ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NORMAL DRIVING OCCASIONALLY CAUSES THE IGNITION KEY, KEY TUMBLER AND SURROUNDING METAL CYLINDER TO BECOME VERY HOT. THIS IS OCCURRING IN A BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA YARIS THAT ONLY HAS 200+ MILES ON IT. THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG . IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE MONTH THAT I OWN THE CAR AND DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR WAS AT THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY SAID THE VOLTAGE WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS AND THAT IT'S NORMAL TO GET A HOT IGNITION KEY AND TUMBLER. THE CAR WAS NOT IN THE SUN . I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS NORMAL. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A FIRE STARTING. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS CAR PROBLEM BEFORE. *TR

STEERING
BOUGHT VEHICLE ON 3/7/10 WHILE DROVE VEHICLE AROUND 30-40 MPH THE VEHICLE PULLS GRADUALLY EITHER SIDE. WHEN DIRECTION IS CORRECTED ,THE VEHICLE GOES ON OTHER SIDE,CORRECT IT ,GOES ON OTHER AND CYCLE GOES ON. APPARENT PROBLEM MAY BE SOMETHING WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE TOYOTA VEHICLE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT,BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL HERE. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE VEHICLE IS NEW,THE TIRE WOULD TAKE TIME TO WEAR OUT AND VEHICLE STEERING WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. NOW THE MILEAGE IS 1000,THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS IN FREEWAY,UNTIL TODAY. I SCARED TO DRIVE ANY MORE. I CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT DRIVING MORE 40 MPH. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I WAS DRIVING A 2010 TOYOTA YARIS RENTAL CAR FROM HERTZ. THE VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING, SO I JUMP STARTED IT FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT RAN A BIT ROUGH FOR A FEW MINUTES, SO I LET IT WARM UP. I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME. THE CAR REFUSED TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 1,000 RPM IN DRIVE. THE MAXIMUM SPEED I WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE WAS 10 MPH (DOWN HILL). I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN (AFTER LETTING IT IDLE FOR 10 MINUTES). THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WAS ON, BUT IN PARK - THE CAR COULD BE REVVED TO 2,000 RPM (MAX). THAT IS WITH MY FOOT ON THE FLOOR. THERE WERE NO FLOOR MATS IN THE VEHICLE. I PULLED THE CAR OVER - PARKED IT AND CALLED HERTZ TO COME PICK IT UP. I AM NOT SURE IF THE YARIS IS BEING RECALLED, BUT NHTSA SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MODEL AS WELL. *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING IN MY 2010 TOYOTA YARIS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT CENTERED. I LEFT THE CAR FOR 3 HOURS AND CAME BACK AND ALL THEY WROTE ON THE PAPER WAS THE TIRES WERE LOW ON AIR. THAT WAS NOT TRUE I HAD CHECK THAT AND ALSO LET THE CAR GET 1450 MILES ON IT SO THE TIRES WOULD WEAR IN CORRECT THING THAT WOULD MAKE THE STEERING WHEEL CENTERED. THEN I WENT BACK TO GET THE CAR AND IT TOOK IT FOR A TEST RIDE AND IT WAS NOT RIGHT. THEN I TOOK A RIDE WITH MECHANIC HE KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT THEN THEY TOOK THE CAR TO ALIGN THE FRONT END AND IT STILL WAS NOT CENTERED THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS THE STEERING WHEEL CENTERED HE SAID THEY DID THE ALIMENT AND WOULD SAY THEY CENTERED THE WHEEL. THIS ELECTRIC STEERING IS NOT RIGHT AND HANDLES VERY BAD. ITS A NEW CAR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THE DAY I GOT THE CAR. *TR
