| Description of the problem | While driving my 2009 toyota yaris, i was burned by a hot beverage when the driver's side cup holder became loose and caused the cup to become unstable, spilling the contents on myself and car. The cup holders are located in a position that puts front seat passengers at risk of injury because of their location. In a collision or abrupt stop, consumers are at risk of serious injury. I am especially concerned for children because of what i experienced. I hope toyota will fix this flaw and eliminate this safety hazard for consumers. I received medical treatment and contacted toyota, yet the problem has not been resolved. I have always been a happy customer with the car until this incident. |
