Manual Transmission...Safety Issue!!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

woof · 12-10-2009, 11:36 AM

I wish I had seen this thread in '06 instead of 12/09! I have been going through an ordeal with my dealer and regional rep who first told me nothing was wrong and now the "clunking" in the drivetrain is "acceptable".

What has happened is that the first year I owned my 5-speed hatch I stalled about 200 times coming off the line. It was because the dead pedal area keeps the clutch from going to the bottom of the floor board.

I may have to go to our state's AG office because the service manager is a real, lying prick. I think Toyota is aware of this and is doing everything to dodge the bullet by what the regional rep said.

I never thought Toy would go this low.
