2019 Toyota Yaris Complaints

Unknown. Lights on dashboard came on. Check engine light came on. Car started jerking front and back while driving, accelerating, and braking.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA YARIS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOU FUSZ TOYOTA (10725 MANCHESTER RD, ST. LOUIS, MO 63122) TO BE SERVICED FOR AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER'S RECALL TO RE-PROGRAM THE ENGINE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, THE KEYFOB FAILED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE PUSH TO START BUTTON FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT RECORD A VIDEO OF THE FAILURE EXPERIENCED SO IT COULD BE SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,833.

FROM JULY 2020 - JAN 2021, I EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE CRANKING BUT NOT STARTING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES TO BE FIXED, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AND COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. HOWEVER, THE LAST TIME I PICKED IT UP FROM TOYOTA (PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED), IT HAPPENED AND I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR OVER, AND HE EVEN TRIED TURNING IT, BUT IT WOULDN'T START. THE SOLUTION WAS THE KEY FOB. I INQUIRED HOW THEY KNEW IT WAS THE KEY FOB, BUT THEY DID NOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER. FEBRUARY 2021 IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN..BUT HAS NOT OCCURRED AS OF MARCH 2021. I THINK WHEN IT SHUTS OFF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THEN MAYBE TOYOTA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS MORE. THE SECOND PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY IN 2020 WAS MY BACKUP CAMERA BEING BLACKED OUT OR GLITCHY. AS OF FEBRUARY 2021, THIS WOULD OCCUR FREQUENTLY, HOWEVER INTERMITTENT AS WELL. I SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIX IT IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA...

THIS MORNING (11/19/2020) AT APPROXIMATELY 4:50AM I TURNED ON MY CAR AND SAT IN THE DRIVEWAY TO LET IT WARM UP. USUALLY WHILE IT WARMS UP I GET MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTED AND GET MY MUSIC GOING, BUT THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T CONNECT. I FIGURED MY HUSBAND HAD BEEN PLAYING AROUND WITH THE SETTINGS AGAIN SO I HAD HIM COME OUTSIDE TO LOOK AT IT. IT STILL WOULDN'T EVEN BRING UP OUR PHONES SO I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED MAYBE 30 SECONDS AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THIS TIME IT BROUGHT UP OUR PHONES BUT STILL WOULDN'T CONNECT AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN SAYING "UNABLE TO CONNECT- UNKNOWN ERROR". AT THIS POINT I SAID FORGET IT, I'VE GOT TO GET TO WORK. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE BACK-UP CAMERA WASN'T WORKING. FIGURED I'VE ALREADY GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA IN THE MORNING SO I'LL BRING THAT TO THEIR ATTENTION AS WELL. BEFORE I MADE IT OUT OF TOWN I STARTED SMELLING A FAINT BURNING WIRE SMELL AGAIN. EVERY TIME I MENTIONED IT TO MY HUSBAND HE'D SAY HE COULDN'T SMELL...

THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN THE HEAT. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE COOLED OFF AFTER 1 HOUR IT STARTED. WE TOOK TO TOYOTA. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY. THEY REPLACED IT. THE BROKE DOWN ON THE SAME ISSUE 1 WEEK LATER. WE TOOK IT AGAIN TO TOYOTA. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. WE TOOK IT HOME. IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN ON THE 09/01/2020. THE CAR HAS BEEN THERE SINCE TH 1ST OF THE MONTH. IT IS FUEL ISSUE PROBLEM AND THERE IS A LOT OF CARS OUT THERE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PARTS ARE ALL ON BACK ORDER NOW. THATS WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG. THE PARTS ARE BACK ORDER UNTIL THE 24TH OF THE MONTH. WE ARE GOING TO REPORT THIS CAR HAS A LEMON.
