I have had this happen twice now where I try to pass someone on interstate 79 northbound from pittsburgh to cranberry township pa and press the gas pedal and once I get to speed the pedal goes to the floor and the car goes to 80 + per hour before I can get it to slow down or stop. Luckily both times there were no cars in front or behind me that I could get control of the car. The first time I ended up putting the car in neutral to get car to stop. Today similar situation except I was able to pump the brakes very hard until I was able to get it to respond and slow down back to the correct speed. I was asked by toyota if the mats on the floor were obstructing the pedal, and this wasn't the case in either instance. When I called toyota corporate office they were referring back to my dealer to run diagnostic test which will cost me to have done. I had this in for service the first time this happened ad was told they found nothing and that the next time it happened to call so they could hook up to a computer and see what the problem was. Today when I called the dealer they wouldn't even schedule my car for service, gave me corporate to call and if corporate wanted to have the dealer service they car they would call them. I am now waiting on the dealer to call me so I can pay to have the car looked at to tell me what they may find. I planned on giving this car to my 16 year old daughter for college but I am now concerned what she will encounter and worried about her safety driving it.

While traveling home in wet conditions, my friend lost control of the vehicle striking 2 full size pine trees and two electric poles, basically we bounced from one to the other hitting the front head on and front left and right before coming to a stop on top of a fire hydrant... The only airbag to deploy was the drivers steering airbag. I was obviously sitting in the passenger seat and due to the passenger airbag not deploying I slammed my head into the dash before the seatbelt locked. This needs to be looked into and researched, my friend and myself could have and probably should be dead due to the airbag defect in these vehicles, there are multiple complaints regarding this style yaris that's pertaining to the same issue.

I was driving my 2009 toyota yaris (ca. 30k miles) home from work under normal road conditions. As I approached a red light, I was alarmed to find that the brakes were compromised and the braking power was reduced. I had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid hitting the back end of the car in front of me. At this point, I was only 2 miles from home and decided to proceed carefully. As I was turning off a main road and into my neighborhood, the brakes completely failed, and I was not able to complete the turn. The car careened off the road, over the curb, up a small embankment, and smashed head-on into a stone wall. The airbag deployed, and the front end sustained considerable damage. The car will most likely be totaled. Thankfully, I was not injured, but I shudder to think at what the outcome could have been under different circumstances. The car had no known mechanical problems or accidents prior to this event, was serviced regularly, and driven responsibly. I consider this to be a serious problem that needs to be resolved.

My 2009 toyota yaris experiences a loss of power, and has weird pedal habits whenever I use my radio/cd player/aux port. Other yaris owners are claiming that this is also happening to them. When I am using the radio/cd player or aux, the car is totally different. It is almost a safety hazard because the car acts differently.

At 60mph on the highway the accelerator stopped responding and the check engine light came on. Pressing the accelerator to the floor gave no response and the car rapidly slowed. Accelerator began to respond a minute or two afterwards but was not consistent. This is the second instance of this happening within 6 months of purchasing this 2009 toyota yaris. The first time it happened they received error code p2121 when diagnosing the problem. They replaced the accelerator pedal assembly including the position sensors which were said to be the cause of the issue. It is in the shop this morning and I have not yet received word on the cause of the issue this time.

My 2009 toyota yaris needs to be placed upon the recent recalls with toyota. My accelerator pedal is beginning to get harder to push down, my brakes are mushy and are sometimes hard to stop the vehicle, when I have my defrosters on, the car wants to keep going and braking is harder. My radio randomly switches to am radio when its off, or on a different station. This all sounds electrical, and I have taken it to the dealer twice and been told no problems. I have an appointment next week to have it looked at again. I just wanted to inform someone that the 2009 toyota yaris' have problems and need to be looked at.
