2008 Toyota Yaris Body & Structure Problems

THE CLEAR COAT HAS BEGUN TO COME OFF. IT BEGAN ON THE ROOF, AND IS NOW PEELING AROUND THE DOORS. THE PAINT IS NOW EXPOSED TO ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND IS BEGINNING TO FADE.

2008 TOYOTA YARIS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNUSUAL HEADLIGHT SYSTEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, WITH THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BRIGHTLY LIT UP. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DIM. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS BACKWARDS AND IT WAS OF POOR DESIGN. DURING DUSK, THE DRIVER NEEDED TO KNOW THE LIGHTS WERE ON, AND A DARK INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 TOYOTA YARIS, I WAS BURNED BY A HOT BEVERAGE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE CUP HOLDER BECAME LOOSE AND CAUSED THE CUP TO BECOME UNSTABLE, SPILLING THE CONTENTS ON MYSELF AND CAR. THE CUP HOLDERS ARE LOCATED IN A POSITION THAT PUTS FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS AT RISK OF INJURY BECAUSE OF THEIR LOCATION. IN A COLLISION OR ABRUPT STOP, CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED FOR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I HOPE TOYOTA WILL FIX THIS FLAW AND ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD FOR CONSUMERS. I RECEIVED MEDICAL TREATMENT AND CONTACTED TOYOTA, YET THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HAPPY CUSTOMER WITH THE CAR UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. *TR

2008 TOYOTA YARIS HATCHBACK S RECALL IS FOR THE WEIGHT CAPACITY STICKER. APRIL 11, 2009 MY FIANCEE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH FOUR OTHER PASSENGERS INCLUDING MYSELF. THE CAR ENDED UP SLIDING SIDEWARDS AT LESS THAN 10 MPH AND CAME TO REST AT AN ANGLE ON THE GUARD RAIL. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER, OUTSIDE DOOR, BACK QUARTER PANEL AND RIMS WERE SCRATCHED AND DENTED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED DUE TO THE WEIGHT CAPACITY LIMIT ON THE TIRE SIZE, WHICH WAS INCORRECTLY LABELED BY TOYOTA. *TR
