| Description of the problem | i own a 2008 toyota yaris, and after 3 years i'm now experiencing a problem with the abs sensors. This is a standard safety feature that i had to pay for since it is not included in the base model. I did some research and found out that many yaris owners from canada and us are having the same issue with the same sensors and seem to have started with the 2006 models and so on. I'm including the link of the forum listed below as proof of other yaris owners having the same issue. I'm sure that there are other people not on this forum experiencing the same problem and are not accounted for. This is a safety concern that i feel should be recalled. To get this fixed, it costs more than adding the feature itself when purchasing the vehicle. I'm expressing my concern because i feel that this is an important safety concern that all yaris owners, whether having the problem or not should be aware of. Hopefully something can be done.
