There's a TSB on that..it's the transmission cable. Mine does it too, occasionally when it's cold, but I haven't taken the initiative either

It tracks straight, it's the person holding the steering wheel.

Driving with one hand, turn your head for a second to look at something you are drifting. My Hondas require a lot more force then the Yaris takes a unstrained finger. It's both a good and bad thing. If I had my choice I wouldn't use power steering at all, but I'm just that way.

Thanks, I figured it was something like that or a heat shield.. I'll get motivated and check it out one of these days. Like yours, its just when its cold and you put it in gear. Have any more info on the TBS?

Just do a quick search on here, it's posted somewhere. Or better yet, make your trusty Toyota dealer find it, it's his job to do that

Good luck

In two days of ownership, the only thing I find slightly annoying is that when you have the windows down, there's a lot of buffeting noise, and it doesn't seem to help if both windows are down or not.

Like I said, FWD without power steering leaves you to the vagaries of torque lock; even the original Minis took some force to move the wheel under some circumstances, and the Mini was a little over half the weight or power of the Yaris. Nothing like that bleedin' Renault though.

Agreed on the buffeting; however, it isn't quite as bad with a rear window open with our sedan.

Still think that the car is worth every dime...

My Yaris was turning a bit to the right all the time when I first got it. Checking the tire pressure fixed that - the right front tire was 4 psi less than the left.
