| I was driving my 2007 toyota yaris on march 30,2010 around 1600 hrs and the accelerator stuck in the full throttle position and caused a collison after the brakes failed to hold the vehicle back for approx 200 feet down the road. when a good samaritan stopped the accelerator was still stuck full throttle and caused the vehicle to skid off the roadway into a ditch where it traveled down the ditch coming to rest against a large boulder. i sustained a concussion and knee and hip pain associated with the impact. i am wishing to report this incident since yaris has not been mentioned in any of the literature i have found printed by toyota. my vehicle was purchased at bryan easler toyota in hendersonville nc and had 50000 miles on it and it is still under warranty all maintenance has been performed at this location and they should have any records you require. your attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated. | |||

| Accelerator on 2007 yaris is sensitive at lower rpms making it difficult to start off in first gear causing a potential safety issue when starting off on a hill or steep grade. was told by both the dealership and toyota that there is nothing they can do, it's a design issue. the dealer did mention that they had received other complaints regarding the sensitivity of the accelerator. i've owned manual transmissions my entire life and although you expect differences in accelerator and clutch combinations, this is the worst i've ever owned.*jb | |||

| My toyota yaris 2007 sedan is jerking . i took it for a service at toyota two weeks back but it still does the same. they changed the petrol filter. the jerking never went away. the dealer then changed the petrol pump and the jerking is still there, it comes and goes. but it shakes so hard i can not take it. the toyota dealer does not know what is wrong with the car.they keep test driving it and i am afraid by the time they finish if they ever find the problem the car will be due for anothe service. so far i don't have wheels while they keep my car | |||
