problem #2

Dec 122020

Yaris

  • 87,600 miles
Was driving on the freeway at 70 mph and had to brake for slower traffic ahead. When I depressed the brake pedal, the ABS system engaged, braking the left side of the car, then the right almost sending me off the road. After this had happened, the speedometer had started jumping to different speeds very rapidly and I was unable to tell my correct speed. The antilock brakes have continued to engage randomly when they are not needed, cause loss of braking control and the overall ability to come to a stop. The speedometer also jumps around every now and then. The ABS light was only triggered once, and then turned off.

Yaris

  • 130,000 miles
Brakes: Left side rear brake shoe adjuster bar part replacement does not fit on brake. Dealer and pep boys both tried to replace it and the parts do not match, a right side adjuster bar had to be used in its place. Repairs were attempted several times over a period of approximately 10 months from Nov 2016 to Sept 2017. Speed sensor: I was driving 65 mph on the interstate in the middle lane when the speed sensor stopped working, the car acted like it was in neutral and I could not get over or continue driving it. Had to get to the side of the road, very dangerous situation. Speed sensor replaced and problem was fixed. This problem happened in August 2015, mileage was approximately 75, 000 at time.
