SOMETIMES WOBBLES ON THE ROAD. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLY IN A QUICK STOP, IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL NOT STOP. IT MAKES A NOISE. BRAKES WERE INSPECTED BUT COULD NOT FIND AN ANSWER. HAPPEN WHILE IN MONTION ONCE IT REACH BEYOND THE 20 MILES. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

I RENTED THIS CAR FOR 1 WEEK, WHEN I WOULD GO TO APPLY THE BRAKE MY FOOT WOULD SLIP OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ME EVERY 4TH OR 5TH TIME I WENT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO BE SO CAREFUL IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN, I'M 58 YEARS OLD AND KNOW HOW TO DRIVE..THE PEDAL IS QUITE SMALL AND MAYBE AT THE WRONG POSITION FOR SAFE APPLICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN. *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2013 Toyota Yaris verdict →
