2007 Toyota Yaris Fuel system Problems

“Four (4) failures for the same reason, car stops running, runs out of gas even though the gas panel shows three and four lines of gas available. The car has stopped running in the middle of the road while traveling with kids. Was taken to the Toyota dealer in feb 2008 and they claim they replaced the fuel system. After 2008 the car has had the same defect and has stopped in three (3) different occasions. It has been towed four times. I will pursue legally against Toyota if I have to do so.”

“I was driving my 2007 Toyota Yaris on march 30,2010 around 1600 hrs and the accelerator stuck in the full throttle position and caused a collison after the brakes failed to hold the vehicle back for approx 200 feet down the road. When a good samaritan stopped the accelerator was still stuck full throttle and caused the vehicle to skid off the roadway into a ditch where it traveled down the ditch coming to rest against a large boulder. I sustained a concussion and knee and hip pain associated with the impact. …”

“My Toyota Yaris 2007 sedan is jerking . I took it for a service at Toyota two weeks back but it still does the same. They changed the petrol filter. The jerking never went away. The dealer then changed the petrol pump and the jerking is still there, it comes and goes. But it shakes so hard I can not take it. The Toyota dealer does not know what is wrong with the car. They keep test driving it and I am afraid by the time they finish if they ever find the problem the car will be due for another service. So far I don't have wheels while they keep my car.”

“Accelerator on 2007 Yaris is sensitive at lower rpms making it difficult to start off in first gear causing a potential safety issue when starting off on a hill or steep grade. Was told by both the dealership and Toyota that there is nothing they can do, it's a design issue. The dealer did mention that they had received other complaints regarding the sensitivity of the accelerator. I've owned manual transmissions my entire life and although you expect differences in accelerator and clutch combinations, this is the worst I've ever owned.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Yaris. While driving at speeds of 35 MPH, the contact stated she smelled a gasoline odor. The vehicle was moved off the roadway and upon further inspection she found gasoline leaking from under the vehicle. The dealer was contacted and advised she would be liable for any repairs to the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 76,000.”
