What 2017 Toyota Yaris owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My vehicle has 21k miles 2017 bought new and the front rotors need to be replaced. I drive local, and I am being told hard stops on brakes will overheat the rotors. I do not drive at 90mph then jam on the brakes. I do not drive at highway speeds, cannot drive after dusk. I believe the rotors are defective. I notice when I drive 10 miles and back the rotors are to hot to touch, they are overheating. I called toyota USA and they will do nothing for me. I should not be replacing rotors at 21k miles. I had a 2008 yaris and drove that car for 5.5 years and I never replaced rotors.
My fixd sensor picked up a b1660 airbag code, seat driver front up circuit open error code. But my VIN says there are no unrepaired recalls.

Car shuts on and off, off and on when starting or while driving.
I recently bought the car from the dealer and I took it back to then 4 times for the same issue and they say it is normal. So my issue is when I'm at a light and I'm in drive or reverse you can see the RPM jump around to about 400 to 700 and the car starts to vibrate shaking the car. The car only has 23,xxx miles on it.
The exact tires/car I have were not listed. They are: 2017 toyota yaris ia toyo proxes a27 tires today I was driving my car on surface streets. I was stopped at a red light and a warning came on that said I had low tire pressure. I pulled off to the side of the road at the next block to check my tire pressure and discovered my tire was completely shredded. I had only driven 2 miles from where I had started and my tires were fine when I left. This particular problem has occurred twice. Once on august 1st, 2018 as I parked on a residential street (the low pressure light didn't even come on at this time) and the second time today, october 3rd, 2018. Both times I have had to replace the tire because it is completely shredded. I have never seen a tire explode like this and I have seen it happen twice over the course of two months in a 16 month old car with only 20k miles on it. I had a 200k mile 2002 honda and while it had flats once every 5-6 years maybe, I never had a tire explode like this and I drive less now than I did with my honda. There is clearly something wrong with these tires that makes them so susceptible to shredding like that. It makes me very scared to continue driving. I worry the next time this happens I will be on a freeway or not somewhere easy to pull over to the side of the road.
