I believe your Yaris is European made...

Those made from the beggining of 2004 are much better. Mine is one of those and I'm satisfied.

There is no doubt that a lot of people don't like the fact the Yaris is a quirky reliable as a swiss watch vehicle, You are one of them. You talk about problems unheard of. Good luck with your next French car.

Wow that's the first time I hear of so many problems on a "Japanese" car, but I'm not shocked. No car manufacturer is exempt from reliability problem not even Toyota so for all of you out there bashing North American vehicles on reliability, here is living proof that perfection doesn't exist.
