| Description of the problem | The toyota yaris has a drive-by-wire system that results in a delayed response of about two to three seconds when the accelerator pedal is applied. I have a 2009 model, but have been informed by a friend who has a 2011 yaris that the same issue is present. The delayed accelerator response is not only unnerving, it is dangerous in a parking situation. I called toyota corporate customer relations, who referred me to a dealer. I spoke to two service managers in portland, or who both indicated this problem can only be repared with a software patch, which is not available. |
