Yes, I think it's the loose nut behind the wheel.

First of all, I'm not a troll :) Secondly, thanks for all of your replies!

@Kongo-Otto: Yes, I am serious. Why does it seem so unlikely?

I wrote this post because I think that we also need to know about negative things in order to get a more nuanced picture of the car. And I do seem to have some major issues with my Yaris. I'm really not exaggerating.

I know that cars are more secure today and are more technically "complex" whereas cars were "better" in the old days because e.g. security was a non existent issue hence with a little load and speed of 80 km/h, they drove like a sailboat!

I've had a Triumph Herald 1200, Mazda 1300, Mitsubishi Colt and now a Yaris.

During one year I have had the following problems with my Yaris:
1st Accelerator can get stuck
2nd Wheel nuts are rusting
3rd Rear brakes are rusting solid
4th Rear brakes subsequently howl and can not be repaired

Couldn’t one just get a good old VW that runs and runs without any problems?!?

Wheres my damn troll away?? Is the troll that has been banned 47000 times back again as AK47? Maybe he needs to use the Ak on himself.

OOPs thought he was AK47, my mistake for reading his name to fast.

of course they are not perfect, but rusting to ruin within a year sounds like bs and the whole stuck pedal thing never happened to any Yari. Yari were not even recalled for it. The whole thing sounds highly improbable.

Thanks for pointing that thread out. You may want to report (

) those types of threads from now on.

You guys need to learn that there is something else than the US. That is not meaned as an offense! Of course the Yaris in Europe was affected by the recall because TMMF uses CTS pedals and NOT Denso pedals like your Yaris from Toyota Japan. And there have been a few reported issues about stuck pedals (but no accidents).

I don't think a rusty wheel nut is some kind of "major problem". That's what i wanted to say. The brake issues are very common, especially with the rear disc brakes (i still don't know if you have discs or drums in the rear) and i told you how to get rid of it.

Welcome to the forums then.

It seemed like your issues were a bit overstated but Kongo-Otto makes a good point, not all Yarii are made the same nor are they all in the US.

Sounds like someone left his yaris sitting buried in the snow for 4 months and is surprised he has problems. Properly maintained and used brakes can't "rust solid." Now the pedal recall is just a sympathy plea.

Yarisduder · 06-21-2010, 11:19 PM

When I look at the outside of the drums through the wheels they sure are rusty, scaling a bit and everything... but I've never seen anything but a brand new drum that didn't look like that. Apparently it's not a problem because no garage has ever suggested they need replacing. That's just the road salt doing it's work. I'd say the lugs are the same thing.

Yaris Hilton · 06-22-2010, 12:36 AM

Bare iron always rusts.

Congo-Otto: Many thanks for your advice and your polite replies. I intend to follow your advice in regard to the hand brake, however, I’m more uncertain about your second advice since I think that only an authorized garage with the right manals and tools should repair brakes. By the way, my Yaris has disc brakes :)

My Yaris was 3 years old when I bought it and it’s now 4 years. Even though my Yaris have full service at an authorized garage it still ended up in this state.

I know that I've entered enthusiasts’ forum and have to take care :) However, in comparison, my 21 years old Colt didn’t have full service but only got new engine oil and oil filter each year that I had to change myself. Nevertheless it never got howling or rusty brakes...
