 Description of the problemIn december 2010, our '07 yaris' abs light started to turn on intermittently. As days passed, it remained on longer and longer until it just stayed on all the time. Would have lived with no abs except for the fact that we had a newborn on the way. Also, the brake system sporadically shuttered and malfunctioned oddly under normal driving conditions. So we bit the bullet and got it fixed in may 2011. Turns out, the right rear speed sensor malfunctioned due to water infiltration. This is a well known issue and discussed in posts all over the internet. Our yaris is a commuter car and has never been in water other than what lays on the highway while we drive in rain and snow. It is only a matter of time until the left side goes. We couldn't afford the $800 fix the first time around, but we managed. But we sure won't have the money for the next fix. It just isn't right. My argument is simple: a speed sensor is not an item that should wear out and malfunction in three years. What's more, toyota has since redesigned this assembly-what i take as their admission of responsibility for the faulty design of this critical abs component. How many other yaris owners are out there right now who can't afford this expensive fix. Their brake systems working improperly? They do so not just because of a failed part design by toyota, but more so because toyota willingly chooses to ignore this widespread problem, refusing to take the responsible action of initiating a recall of this vital safety component. Sadly, it will likely take serious injury or death and the subsequent lawsuit before someone at toyota cares to take notice. I tried numerous times to speak with toyota (local dealer and corporate), but they offered no recourse other than to file my complaint. I was told the same as so many others:"your warranty is expired. Sorry, we can't help you." i am hopeful nhtsa will. *kb

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
