This week I started hearing the same noise the bad throw-out bearing. I know the sound all too well unfortunately.

Exactly 1 month from when my warranty expired from the new clutch installed by Toyota in February 2015.

Monday night I'm paying a visit to their service dept to complain but I doubt it'll do any good. I've driven it less than 9000 miles and I don't do ANYTHING to cause premature wear on a clutch.

They aren't getting another $854.00+++ from me. Even if they decide to fix it with no charge I'm getting rid of this POS.

A car with barely 42K on it shouldn't have this problem.

Toyota Customer Service may help you. They refunded the price of an oil pressure sensor that failed out of warranty foe me. But not the labor.
It's painful for me to hear someone call their Yaris a POS but I guess you're right.

Bronsin, last year I wrote 2 letters to Toyota (I was nice ) and I talked to them 2 or 3 times by phone and they wouldn't budge on giving me a refund of ANY of my money.

Well now Toyota will pay the price of having an unhappy customer telling her story to prospective buyers. I know I would not recommend a Toyota with a clutch given the throttle response of my drive by wire engine. Also the wifes 05 Camry has a similar problem.
