SUSPENSION
STRANGE SOUND COMMING FROM REAR AREA. LOOKED AND REAR PASSANGER SIDE TIRE LEANNING INWARD TOWARD CAR. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP. THE REAR AXLE BEAM WAS RUSTED ENOUGH THAT THE TIRE WAS GETTING READY TO COME OFF. THE REPAIR SHOP HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. HAD ABOUT 214,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURED. NO, LONGER OWN CAR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MAKES IT HARD TO JUDGE DISTANCE TO THE CURB OR VEHICLE NEXT TO YOU. FEAR GETTING INTO ACCIDENT WITH CURRENT WINDSHIELD HOWEVER TOYOTA STATES IT IS NORMAL EVEN THOUGH IT DISTORTS YOUR VISION WHEN DRIVING. AFTER FIVE MONTHS TOYOTA HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE DEFECT AND ENSURE MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THEIR CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY VEHICLE HAS 21K MILES 2017 BOUGHT NEW AND THE FRONT ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I DRIVE LOCAL, AND I AM BEING TOLD HARD STOPS ON BRAKES WILL OVERHEAT THE ROTORS. I DO NOT DRIVE AT 90MPH THEN JAM ON THE BRAKES. I DO NOT DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CANNOT DRIVE AFTER DUSK. I BELIEVE THE ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE. I NOTICE WHEN I DRIVE 10 MILES AND BACK THE ROTORS ARE TO HOT TO TOUCH, THEY ARE OVERHEATING. I CALLED TOYOTA USA AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME. I SHOULD NOT BE REPLACING ROTORS AT 21K MILES. I HAD A 2008 YARIS AND DROVE THAT CAR FOR 5.5 YEARS AND I NEVER REPLACED ROTORS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
P/S DASHBOARD RED LIGHT CAME ON WITH SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST WHILE TURNING AND DRIVING. LUCKILY THE CAR IS LIGHT, BUT I COULD HAVE EASILY HIT AN OBJECT, HAD IT HAPPENED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION OR AT A DIFFERENT SPEED. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED BY ITSELF. TWO WEEKS THEREAFTER, AN EXTREMELY STRONG BURNED ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY SMELL SUDDENLY FILLED THE VICINITY OF THE CAR, COULD BE FELT FROM ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY, WHILE IDLING, WHILE STOPPED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS WITH FRONT WHEELS TURNED TO THE RIGHT ABOUT HALF-WAY, AS I WAS CHECKING MY MAIL BOX UPON ENTERING DRIVEWAY. A LOW PITCH WHINING/DRONING NOISE WAS EMANATING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING. THE NOISE AND ODOR PERSISTED AFTER THE STEERING WAS SET AT 0 DEGREE ANGLE AND AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED. NO P/S DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. NO LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST. NO VISIBLE SIGN OF SMOKE, FIRE, OR MELTED PLASTIC IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX. WIRE HARNESSES LOOKED INTACT. SUSPECT EPS - ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE ABOUT 85OF. CAR DRIVEN FOR JUST 3 MILES ON THAT DAY, SIDE STREET DRIVING ONLY, NEVER OVER 35 MPH.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WITH ONLY 500 MILES ON IT I HAD ALIGNMENT ISSUE WITH THIS BRAND NEW CAR TOYOTA YARIS 2019 WHICH WAS PURCHASED ON APR 2019. AFTER I TOOK MY CAR TO TUSTIN TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY FIXED THE ALIGNMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME I HAD THE SAME ISSUE I TOOK MY CAR THERE FOR THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH IT WHILE I HAD DOCUMENT OF ALIGNMENT FAILED WHICH IM ATTACHING IT. I STILL HAVE SAFETY PROBLEM THAT IS EITHER RELATED TO STEERING,TIER, SUSPENSION, BEAM TORSION OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAUSE MY CAR FEELING LIKE DRIFTING OR SLIDING TO RIGHT OR LEFT WHILE DRIVING AROUND 60MPH OR ABOVE. FEELS LIKE DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SNOWY ROAD. I CANT HAVE MY CAR CONTROLLED EVEN THOUGH BY HOLDING THE STEERING VERY TIGHT AND ITS A HUGE ROAD WITH SO MANY TRUCKS WHICH CAN BE SO DANGEROUS. I HAVE PASSED 2 SERIOUS ACCIDENT ALREADY AND HAVE A FEELING THIS CAR WITH 185 INCH TIER IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR CITY OR FOR SPEED BELOW 60AND THATS HOW MET TOYOTA SAFETY AND EXPECTATION AS THEY CONFIRMING THEIR SAFETY AND NOT PROVIDING ANY OTHER HELP!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED SUCH A BIG COMPANY IS RE BADGING MAZDA 2 AND SELL IT UNDER TOYOTA WITH SAFETY ISSUE. THEY NEED TO GET RECALL ON THESE TYPE OF CAR IF THEY THINK THIS CAR DOESNT HAVE ANY ISSUE AND THE CAR IS TOTALLY FINE BEFORE SOME BIG LAWSUIT IS TAKING PLACE. I CONCERN ABOUT MY AND OTHER VEHICLE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING AND NEED TO REPORT THIS TO TAKE SOME ACTION

STEERING, SUSPENSION
BOUGHT CAR WITH 99K MILES. NOTED A CLUNK IN SUSPENSION. DECIDED TO FIX BY PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. TURNED OUT IT WAS A BROKEN BOLT THAT HOLDS THE CONTROL ARM INSIDE THE SUBFRAME WHICH IS NOT ACCESSIBLE FROM THE EXTERIOR. STEERING WAS VERY OFF AND THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER: THE FRONT SUBFRAME WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND THE INNER BOLT THAT HOLDS THE LONG HORIZONTAL CONTROL ARM BOLT WAS IMPROPERLY WELDED OR THE INNER SUB FRAME WAS MADE SO WATER COULD GET IN AND RUST SAID BOLD/WELD.
