What owners wrote
While driving on the freeway at approximately 55-60 MPH traffic came to a sudden stop. I applied the brakes to the 2007 toyota yaris, 4 door and instead of braking normally, the brakes locked, causing the car to slid 30-40 feet, striking the stopped car in front of mine. The impact caused significant front end damage and yet none of the air bags deployed. Fortunately there were no serious injuries, however both the braking system and the airbags failed to work properly.
The ABS light would start coming on from time to time. It would stay on for days at a time (during which time I had no ABS), then go off for no reason. The brake pedal started to shudder and vibrate whether or not I was touching it. If it happened to be vibrating while I was actually braking, brake power would be heavily reduced. This has caused me to have to swerve out of the way several times so I don't rear-end someone.
