“One week ago my ABS and brake light came on shortly after I had turned the car on. The light comes on and goes off at random intervals. On three occasions in the past two days, the brakes have vibrated and triggered the ABS when I have pressed. Upon researching further, I have found numerous complaints on this website and several online forums that cite this same issue with the 2007 Toyota Yaris.”
NHTSA complaint #10503078, filed 2013-03, 78,000 miles“2007 Toyota Yaris off and on I have been having braking issues. When I press on the brake it almost has an effect of the anti-lock braking system kicking in. Yet the effect is more pronounced. It feels as if I am skidding or jerking to a stop and makes me fear that I will not stop. Are there any open campaigns for this? This is a safety issue and I need to get it resolved. I have also sent an e-mail to Toyota.”
NHTSA complaint #10305473, filed 2010-02, 45,000 miles“Any day, any weather, any road conditions. The road could be as dry as a bone. When I drive around a curve (it doesn't matter if I'm driving 45 MPH, or 15 MPH), the break pedal will engage on it's own, the steering wheel will lock, and a beeping alarm will go off. I have no control of the van. It will put me into oncoming traffic. Everyday. Everyday. Any time I drive this van. Multiple times a day for the last 15 months. Lots of $, and lots of trips to dealer and car repair shops. Can't figure out what is causing the problem, but it's a major problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11156877, filed 2018-12, 160,000 miles“As I was driving this past winter the ABS required maintenance and parking brake came illuminated at the same time. I thought it might have been a frozen connector since the winter has been very cold and bad this year. The speed sensor pig tail and the rear wheel bearing went out. This part was coroded and full of dirt and grime. Even the wires were disengrated. This has happened to other Yaris owners to that I have read on here. This should be a recall. Aproximate cost of fixing this problem is 600.00.”
NHTSA complaint #10584147, filed 2014-04, 107,000 miles“My ABS and brake lights came on at the same time on my 2007 Yaris sedan. The manual states to stop driving the car and contact the dealer immediately. The car is a daily commute car with 75,000 miles at the time. The problem was an internal failure of the right rear wheel speed sensor. The dealer replaced the sensor (part number 42450-52060 / hub & brg assy r), and cleaned corrosion from the wiring harness where it connects to the speed sensor. The total repair cost was over $650. …”
