| Jul | 2009 | 47 | 0 | Owned car for less than 1 week. Engine won't start right away every time, turn key and nothing happens, does start after 2,3,4,5 tries. Could be the alarm setting or could be a real problem. Salesman told me to go back to the dealership for an inspection. |
| Aug | 2009 | 650 | 5 | Dealer checked car and found no problems, showed me how to change alarm settings and told me clutch must be all the way down to floor to start car. Should have told me up front instead of costing me $5 gas and 66 miles. Everything has been okay since. |
| May | 2010 | 11000 | 0 | Center console is loose, dealer said there is a crack and it needs replaced. The part was ordered but I have not yet had time to check the status or go in for repairs. Dealer says it will be covered under warranty. Center console was replaced in mid-May, two months later it still works like brand new. Dealer did a good job with the replacement. |

Important: Most cars for which no repairs have been reported are not shown to make it easy to find those with repair information. So these repair histories should not be used to infer reliability. Instead, they provide an idea of the the problems and repairs Toyota Yaris owners have been experiencing,
