The ABS sensor is notoriously bad, and I had to stop suddenly and went into a four wheel slide because the ABS stopped working. This needs a recall.

Any day, any weather, any road conditions. The road could be as dry as a bone. When I drive around a curve (it doesn't matter if I'm driving 45 MPH, or 15 MPH), the break pedal will engage on it's own, the steering wheel will lock, and a beeping alarm will go off. I have no control of the van. It will put me into oncoming traffic. Everyday. Everyday. Any time I drive this van. Multiple times a day for the last 15 months. Lots of $, and lots of trips to dealer and car repair shops. Can't figure out what is causing the problem, but it's a major problem. We tried new tires, changing wheel sensors, new brakes, adding fluid to steering wheel column, new axels... And the list goes on. Nothing fixes the problem. I've read a lot of similar stories on the internet. Lots pf people, same problem, and nothing is fixing the problem on anyone's van. There isn't a solution to a major problem.

As I was driving this past winter the ABS required maintenance and parking brake came illuminated at the same time. I thought it might have been a frozen connector since the winter has been very cold and bad this year. The speed sensor pig tail and the rear wheel bearing went out. This part was coroded and full of dirt and grime. Even the wires were disengrated. This has happened to other yaris owners to that I have read on here. This should be a recall. Aproximate cost of fixing this problem is 600.00.

Drove car to train station during snow storm. Vehicle sat parked all day. Cleaned off snow that evening and began drive home. Several minutes into trip both ABS and brake lights illuminated. Checked parking brake and found to be not engaged. Pumped brakes and appeared normal operation. Later checked brake fluid and again appeared normal level. Both lights stayed constantly illuminated for three days. Currently both lights collectively alternate between on and off during vehicle operation.

Both the parking brake and anti-lock brake system [ABS] indicator lights illuminated while driving and with the parking brake not engaged. The lights remained illuminated. *tr upon inspection of the rear skid control sensor and skid control sensor wire [part of the ABS], I found both the passenger and driver's side assemblies to be very wet and dirty with mud both inside and outside the electrical connector between the wire and the sensor itself on the hub assembly. On the driver's side, the electrical connector pins were badly corroded. So much so, in fact, that one of the pins was broken and partially disintegrated. With the connection being corroded and broken, the ABS will not function. The electrical connectors for the skid control sensor are not protected by any sort of guard or boot, they're just regular, plastic-housing connectors with no waterproofing, yet they're in a location on the vehicle which is very much exposed to rain, snow, mud, etc. During normal driving conditions. The connectors are very vulnerable to corrosion and damage from the elements being exposed in this way and their premature failure due to this exposure causes a loss of a safety feature of the vehicle, the ABS.

The ABS sensors on both back tires failed spontaneously (determined upon obd code reading from service station) resulting in the dashboard 'brake' and 'ABS' lights illuminating intermittently. Since this spontaneous failure ABS would activate at inappropriate times and at other times fail to activate when it should have. This created a major potential safety issue.
