My acelerator pedal is so small and I had almost an accident because during a trip my foot got stuck underneat the pedal, I was able to remove at time but it was hard to change to the brakes cause it took like a second to remove my foot, also sometimes I need to speed faster to change a lane to avoid a sudden stop and my foot just jump from the pedal to underneat it, that pedal is a danger and is a probably cause of an accident. Is the size of maybe a little laptop mouse instead to be a full pedal going from the floor to the top.

What 2016 Toyota Yaris owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Was in a car accident in december of 2018 and air bags didn't deploy. Went to the dealership and they said they couldn't help. Entire sensor of the front were torn off and still didn't deploy. My sister was seriously injured. She was driving and crashed at 35mph on a city streer and crash into a stop light and sign because someone took a red on her green and she swerved to not hit anyone.
I drove from richmond ca to los angeles round trip. On my return trip, I heard a loud sound and when I saw my passenger's side mirror, it looked like my rear bumper was going to fall. The bumper was flapping vigorously. Soon after, my passenger's side was doing the same thing. I still had 100 miles to go on my trip. The rear bumper seems poorly designed and not secure. I do not trust this car on long distance trips. I'm a disappointed buyer.
The voltage regulator has gone out and my yaris has less than 37,000 miles.
