I would like to point out that both Driver and Police Officer safety may be improved if all vehicle designers and manufacturers were to disrupt the convention of locating caches for the drivers vehicle registration information at or below driver shoulder height. It may be a fairly inconsequential to implement a design standard so that the paper copy of a drivers registration and insurance would be neatly and preferentially stored at a height relativistic of the drivers shoulders so that every driver would naturally move through the motion of raising their hands into the air to retrieve requested registration information

This 2020 Yaris is registered to me but driven by my daughter to her workplace less that 3 miles away. The first incident involved the engine laboring to start and when she came home, the battery was dead. I was able to re-charge the battery at home but 2 days later, the car would not start at home. I have an auto engine scanner that registered a P2610 code stating "an Engine Control Module, ECM/PCM Engine Off Timer Performance". The battery had been completely drained of its liquid. This is a safety hazard that could have stranded my daughter as she sometimes drives to Houston which is about 30 miles away. I researched this code and found that the NHTSA has previously issued notices on these problems. We need help getting it resolved.Car is available for inspection.

The car malfunction issue that is being reported is for the 2011 Toyota Yaris Gearshift and yes it is available upon request. The safety of small children were at risk when the vehicle was turned off no key in the ignition and no pressure on the break but the gear was pulled it shifted into neutral and completed an accelerated roll away with a small child inside. Not as of yet, has this vehicle been inspected by an independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by other individuals and insurance reps. NO WARNING LIGHTS VISIBLE because keys were never in vehicle or in vehicle ignition.

I got new tires and took the car for an alignment. I am constantly having to slightly correct my steering wheel. One to three degrees to the left and right at any speed the entire time I am driving. It was setup for the diagnostic test and the technician came back in less than five minutes. To tell me that there is nothing wrong with my alignment and everything was at factory spec. So I told him to drive it and tell me that there is nothing wrong with my car. He came back looking shocked and said that was weird. Like driving on wet glass. So he started to ask me questions. My answers to the question were. I am the original owner, never been in an accident with the car or hit debris of any kind. Tires are brand new, no check engine or warning lights. Diagnostic scanner to the OBD port came back with no problems. Car had 25,000 miles on it at the time. I've been told it could be any of eight or nine problems or a combination of a few. Electric power steering, traction control, ABS, Tire pressure monitor, steering angle sensor, tie rod, ball joints, suspension. My question is, how does this happen with regular service and no warning detection system on board or service equipment finding anything ???

I HAVE A 2020 TOYOTA YARIS WITH 3500 MILES THAT HAS AN INTENSE AND REPEATED VIBRATION PROBLEM THAT STARTED APPEARING 9 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. WHEN I COME FULLY TO A STOP, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL VIBRATE INTENSELY LIKE A MASSAGE CHAIR. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT - IN SEATS, STEERING WHEEL, DASH, BRAKE PEDAL, EVEN THE DOORS AND WINDOWS. THE VIBRATION IS SO INTENSE IT CAN BE VISUALLY SEEN. WHEN I LOOK UNDER THE HOOD, THE ENGINE IS SHAKING INTENSELY. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS IN DRIVE/REVERSE AND WHEN STOPPED. IF THE CAR IS IN PARK/NEUTRAL, OR WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING, IT DOES NOT VIBRATE. THE VIBRATION COMES BACK WHEN PUT BACK INTO DRIVE/REVERSE. THE VIBRATION ONLY HAPPENS ONCE THE CAR IS WARM. CAR VIBRATES AT 500 RPM. WHEN RPM GOES UP TO 600 OR MORE, IT STOPS VIBRATING. IT ALSO STOPS VIBRATING IF THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS TURNED ON (RPMS RISING). AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE A LOW IDLE BECAUSE IDLE RPMS WERE TOO LOW (NOT A ROUGH IDLE). I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND FILM IT HAPPENING BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHECKED OTHER CARS FOR THE PROBLEM; THEY FIRST TOLD ME THAT MY YARIS IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT PROBLEM, THEN THEY CHANGED THEIR STATEMENT AND SAID "3 OTHER YARIS AT OTHER DEALERSHIPS ALSO HAD THAT PROBLEM, BUT IT IS LIKE 3 OUT OF 30,000 YARIS". THIS MEANS THAT THE VIBRATION PROBLEM IS NOT NORMAL FOR THIS CAR AND A FEW OF THESE CARS ARE DEFECTIVE (WITH MINE BEING ONE OF THEM). I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 SEPARATE TIMES REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT THEY REFUSED OR GAVE ME AN EXCUSE, SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT, COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, ETC. MY CAR ONLY HAS 3,500 MILES AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW CAR. TOYOTA SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND FIND AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY, TAKE THIS CAR BACK, OR COMPENSATE THE OWNER.

THIS MORNING (11/19/2020) AT APPROXIMATELY 4:50AM I TURNED ON MY CAR AND SAT IN THE DRIVEWAY TO LET IT WARM UP. USUALLY WHILE IT WARMS UP I GET MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTED AND GET MY MUSIC GOING, BUT THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T CONNECT. I FIGURED MY HUSBAND HAD BEEN PLAYING AROUND WITH THE SETTINGS AGAIN SO I HAD HIM COME OUTSIDE TO LOOK AT IT. IT STILL WOULDN'T EVEN BRING UP OUR PHONES SO I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED MAYBE 30 SECONDS AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THIS TIME IT BROUGHT UP OUR PHONES BUT STILL WOULDN'T CONNECT AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN SAYING "UNABLE TO CONNECT- UNKNOWN ERROR". AT THIS POINT I SAID FORGET IT, I'VE GOT TO GET TO WORK. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE BACK-UP CAMERA WASN'T WORKING. FIGURED I'VE ALREADY GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA IN THE MORNING SO I'LL BRING THAT TO THEIR ATTENTION AS WELL. BEFORE I MADE IT OUT OF TOWN I STARTED SMELLING A FAINT BURNING WIRE SMELL AGAIN. EVERY TIME I MENTIONED IT TO MY HUSBAND HE'D SAY HE COULDN'T SMELL IT SO I THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS IMAGINING IT. FINALLY MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY WELL ON MY WAY TO WORK AND DECIDED TO TRY THE CRUISE CONTROL. GOT TO THE SPEED LIMIT, TURNED IT ON, DROVE FOR A FEW, GOT PARANOID ABOUT DEER AND DECIDED TO TURN IT OFF. IT DID NOT TURN OFF. I PRESSED THE OFF BUTTON AND IT ACCELERATED. TRIED THE OFF BUTTON AGAIN AND AGAIN IT ACCELERATED. TRIED THE DOWN BUTTON, ACCELERATED AGAIN. THOUGHT MAYBE THERE'S A CROSSED WIRE SO I TRIED THE UP BUTTON, YOU GUESSED IT. STARTED GOING FASTER. IT ALLOWED ME TO BREAK AND STOP SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS FUNCTIONAL AND WAS STILL FUNCTIONING AS EXPECTED AFTER WORK. TO BE CLEAR, I DID NOT TRY THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN.

IN APPROXIMATELY MAY 2015 I REPLACED THE HUB ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. AFTER THE ITEM WAS REPLACED AND ABS SENSOR REATTACHED I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE OF ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ON CONTINUALLY ON THE DASH UPON STARTUP, THEY NEVER GO OFF!!! NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE LOST ABS SINCE THAT TIME. I HAVE HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS CHECKED AND THERE WERE THREE ABS RELAY SENSOR WARNING FAULTS, FRONT RIGHT, AND BOTH BACK WHEELS. SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE WIRING HARNESSES FOR THE THREE WHEELS. THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS NO ABS RELAY FAULTS. THE ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT STILL INCESSANTLY STAY LIT ON THE DASH. I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO RESET THE INTERNAL COMPUTER BY REMOVING THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY. I AM IN THE MILITARY AND HAVE READ MANY ISSUES AND FAULTS REGARDING THIS ABS ISSUE, AND IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE FOR TOYOTA OR A MECHANIC TO TRY AND FIX THIS ISSUE, THAT I HAVE SEEN OCCURRING ON MANY TOYOTAS ACROSS THE USA. THAT'S WHY I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE ON MY OWN. NOW I AM PCS'ING TO MY NEXT DUTY STATION, YET IF I DON'T GET THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO TURN OFF I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP THE CAR.

AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO TOYOTA AND SEVERAL DAYS OF REPAIR THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE TOYOTA YARIS HAVING THE TIRE SIGNAL TURNING ON NOT ONLY IS IT A WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE IT TURNS ON EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO AT RANDOM TIMES AND WE HAVE TO TAKE IT AND PAY TO TAKE IT TO GET IT FIXED AGAIN BUT IT ALSO IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT'S HIGHER COULD REALLY BE LOW AND I JUST THINK IT'S MESSING UP AND I GET A FLAT TIRE AND BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR HOURS. OR THE TIRE COULD BLOW OUT AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A WRECK AND I COULD INJURE MYSELF OR THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS WITH NO REMEDY PROVIDED. I ALSO AM CONCERNED ABOUT TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT MAY BE IN MY VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T SEE A RECALL NOTICE (ALTHOUGH I REGULARLY RECEIVE MAIL ABOUT POTENTIAL TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS). THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH IN THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICANT GREASE. RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE REMEDY TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION. ONCE REMEDY PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETE, TOYOTA WILL SEND AN OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER BY FIRST CLASS MAIL TO OWNERS OF VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS SAFETY RECALL. ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE REMEDY WILL BE PROVIDED IN FUTURE COMMUNICATIONS. SAFETY RISK DESCRPITION IF SUFFICIENT GREASE IS NOT APPLIED, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE SWITCH MAY DEVELOP A SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN CAUSE THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY TO OVERHEAT AND MELT. A MELTING SWITCH CAN PRODUCE SMOKE AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE.
