What owners say
I got new tires and took the car for an alignment. I am constantly having to slightly correct my steering wheel. One to three degrees to the left and right at any speed the entire time I am driving. It was setup for the diagnostic test and the technician came back in less than five minutes. To tell me that there is nothing wrong with my alignment and everything was at factory spec. So I told him to drive it and tell me that there is nothing wrong with my car. He came back looking shocked and said that was weird. Like driving on wet glass. So he started to ask me questions. My answers to the question were. I am the original owner, never been in an accident with the car or hit debris of any kind. Tires are brand new, no check engine or warning lights. Diagnostic scanner to the OBD port came back with no problems. Car had 25,000 miles on it at the time. I've been told it could be any of eight or nine problems or a combination of a few. Electric power steering, traction control, ABS, Tire pressure monitor, steering angle sensor, tie rod, ball joints, suspension. My question is, how does this happen with regular service and no warning detection system on board or service equipment finding anything ???
After shopping I tried to start my car. It did a lot of shuttering and the check engine and battery lights came on. It would not run. I called AAA and they said the battery was fully charged. When the AAA tow service came the car started and ran fine. When I got home I checked with my OBD II tool. The code was P0087 Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low.
Unknown. Lights on dashboard came on. Check engine light came on. Car started jerking front and back while driving, accelerating, and braking.

I went to dealership on western 1/7/19 bought a new vehicle 2019 toyota yaris le the same day the vehicle stopped on me while in traffic on 33rd and king drive all the lights turned red and came even before leaving the dealership the engine light came on and the agent ignocio told me that 'it's nothing it will go away'. The same thing happened 1/11/19 and 1/25/19 in traffic on lakeshore drive and the vehicle stopped while in drive mode and all lights came on again windows were stuck doors were not unlocking and the key was in the vehicle as well. I was scared for my life and could been killed that day. Toyota dealership is not doing anything about the issue I told them this is a manufacturer defect because there is no way a brand new vehicle will have engine light including all other lights on and stop on on its onw in traffic.

After washing the underside of the car, the cel came on. Five p codes came up on scanner. The dealer told me that water got into the charcoal canister and that I would have to replace it along with other related parts total cost to me $1027.83 which includes nys tax not including labor charge. Toyota has corrected this problem on the newer models but mine was beyond the warranty even though they admit to a defect. Included in the parts list is some sort of water deflector so that this will not happen again. Toyota said that there has not been enough complaints to warrant a recall. I live in upstate new york where salt is used on the roads and it is advisable to wash under the vehicle. Also, it does rain on occasion and water is splashed up under the car. I now have 57000 miles on the car with no chance of passing inspection. I was told that in the event of a recall, I could be entitled to a refund. I think that most people would not bother to lodge a complaint so no chance of a recall.
