Toyota Yaris — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 2,256 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Air bags (restraint system)760 (33.7%)Official recall records for this system: 15, covering model years 2006–2017.
• Brakes222 (9.8%)
• Speed control & accelerator148 (6.6%)
• Electrical system146 (6.5%)Official recall records for this system: 12, covering model years 2006–2019.
• Body & structure108 (4.8%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2012–2015.
• Engine106 (4.7%)

Other / uncategorized: 72 classifications (3.2%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (1,666 records, model years 2006–2020) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), brakes and speed control & accelerator.
• Safety recalls (91 records, model years 2006–2020) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), equipment & accessories and visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors).
• Transport Canada recalls (72 records, model years 2006–2020) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, air bags (restraint system) and seat belts.
• Manufacturer communications (2,851 records, model years 2006–2020) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and body & structure.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 978reports included a mileage
• 67,334average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle

These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.

• P0087 in 2 records · 2019–2020
• P0171 in 2 records · 2019–2020
• P0335 in 1 record · 2007–2007

A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
