I hear you.
Hey, man sorry you're having all these problems. Maybe you're worrying too much, maybe you have a lemon? Just see what the dealer says and let us know and maybe the peeps on the board can be more helpful if you give them more specific details to work with

You know, not to jack the thread or anything, but I've been getting all these phone calls from friends and family lately, inquiring about .... my car. My car!!! They don't call to say "hey [tomato], it's been a while, how is it going? " they say "hey, we' heard the news, how is your car?" sound really concerned as if my car or myself have just been diagnosed with a terminal disease of some sort.
I keep telling them my car is FINE, has NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER, and they don't believe me!!! They say "you better have it checked out!!!" Dude, I've been driving cars looooooooooooong out of their warranties all my life, so I guess the latest Toyota recall don't scare me, but what do I know anyway . What is it I'm supposed to have checked if the car runs like clockwork? (I still stand by my earlier threads about the clutch being touchy but that's completely different, once you get the hang of it, you're fine.) |

There's nothing wrong with any Toyota (relating to unintended acceleration). Amazing that people believe this nonsense.

ugh... ok. Let me just say that I know what It's like to be basically attacked for a thread I posted, and it is not fun. The trick is to not take it personally.
What you are posting about the Yaris is hard for us to understand. From what I can tell, you are the only one (of the people who have read and posted on this thread) who has had this problem. The real issue is trust. No one here really knows you, or can vouch for you. When we read something hard to believe (from our past experiences) it's easy to call you a liar or a fake. We have no reason to trust you. For all we know, you could be a Ford fanboy, or some Chevy employee who just likes to troll import forums, and cause FUD (Fear Unrest Doubt) for fun or profit. There will always be some doubt. I find it hard to believe the "unintended acceleration" problem is as wide spread as the media has made it out to be, and seeing as the Yaris is not listed on the recall list, it is really hard to believe your post. I do, however, believe that you believe it happened. So like I said, don't take it personally, keep us updated, and perhaps show us some proof, if you really want us to take you seriously. ok?

The only reason I give cell phone interference the benefit of a doubt, is because of the way they can interfere with speakers. If they put out enough EM to cause that, then there could, remotely, be some sort of interference with circuits it was placed near. Maybe OP does have a lemon... Maybe someone was asleep at the soldering iron. Who knows.

I think the wave of media attention has brought out those that want to make a quick buck and see an opportunity for it. What better wave than to jump on the accerleration band wagon or stuck throttle band wagon.
When you read two of the accounts in the media you find that the drivers were told to shift the car into neutral but refused because, " they thought they would roll the car if shifted into neutral" Again driver error. Besides who calls 911 when you are having trouble with your car "accerlerating out of control" when both hands should be on the wheel trying to control the alleged uncontrolled speed. Media hipe being used to scare the popoulation. Just my two cents worth. |

C'mon guys... I don't doubt that the OP perceived a problem and took their car in to the dealer. I also don't doubt that the dealer could not duplicate the problem and said "sorry, we couldn't duplicate the problem".
Can this thread die now? |
