Yaris 4-cyl

  • 10,000 miles
I purchased this car in December 2006 in puerto rico. I needed a car to visit my father who currently lives there. During 2007 through 2012, I visited him approximately five times and drove the car. In 2013, I decided to bring the car to Virginia, us. I bought the 2006 Yaris Toyota to the us with approximately 6K miles in March 2013. In May 2013, the sensor controlling the air bags turned on and I it was unable to pass state inspection. The week after, while I was driving to work, the car lost all of the brakes functionality. I had to pull the emergency brakes in this car or else have an accident. Overall between the sensor and new brakes it is costing over $1300. In two months of driving the car from fredericksburg Virginia to springfield Virginia, the mileage used was about 4K extra. In essence; the car with only 10K, and is at home while I think of what to do with this car. The car is paid off and a car on only 10K miles should not have so many issues. Toyota said it cannot repair the car because it is a 2006 model, however the mileage on the car is only 10K.
