2010 Toyota Yaris problems
The Toyota Yaris (Japanese: トヨタ・ヤリス, Hepburn: Toyota Yarisu) is a supermini/subcompact car sold by Toyota since 1999, replacing the Starlet and Tercel.
Up to 2019, Toyota had used the Yaris nameplate on export versions of various Japanese-market models, with some markets receiving the same vehicles under the Toyota Echo name through 2005. Starting in 2020, the Yaris nameplate began to be used in Japan, which replaced the Vitz nameplate.
The Yaris nameplate has also been applied to other vehicles. From 1999 to 2005, the nameplate had been used for the Yaris Verso mini MPV sold in Europe, where it was known in Japan as the FunCargo. Since 2020, the nameplate has also been used for the subcompact crossover SUV offering called Yaris Cross. In North America, most Yaris sedan models sold from 2015 to 2020 and Yaris hatchbacks sold from 2019 until 2020 were restyled versions of the Mazda2, produced and developed by Mazda.
In 2020, Toyota introduced the GR Yaris, which is a three-door performance-oriented variant of the XP210 series Yaris using the Gazoo Racing branding. It is built as a homologation model for the FIA World Rally Championship.
The name "Yaris" is derived from "Charis", the singular form of Charites, the Greek goddesses of charm and beauty. As of March 2020, the Yaris has sold 8.71 million units worldwide.

Common 2010 Toyota Yaris problems
The Toyota Yaris 2010 has been known to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. These issues are primarily related to the car's gearbox, clutch, engine warning light, and loose fan belt.
- Juddering clutch: Many Yaris owners have reported problems with the clutch, specifically when it begins to slip. This can result in higher RPMs without a corresponding increase in speed, a burning smell, changes in the clutch pedal's height, and a general lack of performance from the vehicle. The cause of this problem can be attributed to leaking oil or grease, a worn clutch disc, a warped flywheel, or an overheated clutch.
- Engine warning light: The engine warning light in the Toyota Yaris 2010 can indicate a range of issues, from minor problems like a loose gas cap to more serious issues like engine misfires or malfunctioning sensors. It is crucial to have the vehicle checked by a professional as soon as possible when the engine warning light comes on, as driving with this light on can lead to further damage to the engine.
- Loose fan belt: A loose fan belt can cause various issues in the Toyota Yaris 2010, including noise, vibration, and reduced engine performance. A loose fan belt can be caused by wear and tear, improper tensioning, or damage to the belt itself. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent this problem, but if it does occur, it may require replacement of the fan belt or tensioner.
It is essential to address these issues promptly to maintain the safety and reliability of the Toyota Yaris 2010. Regular maintenance, inspections, and prompt repairs can help prevent these problems from becoming more serious and costly to fix.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-01
- VIN: JTDJT4K32A5
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I would like to point out that both Driver and Police Officer safety may be improved if all vehicle designers and manufacturers were to disrupt the convention of locating caches for the drivers vehicle registration information at or below driver shoulder height. It may be a fairly inconsequential to implement a design standard so that the paper copy of a drivers registration and insurance would be neatly and preferentially stored at a height relativistic of the drivers shoulders so that every driver would naturally move through the motion of raising their hands into the air to retrieve requested registration information

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-06-12
- VIN: JTDBT4K33A1

- Summary: Malfunctioning components 1. Door locks do not lock all the time when the lock button is pressed. 2. Randomly I will find my doors unlocked, when I closed them when I got out. 3. Doors unlock by themselves and that poses a problem for me and my family. To be able to figure out the issue I have to take it to the dealer where they charge an arm and a leg to diagnose the issue, due to Covid-19 and the hardship it has caused my family I don’t have the funds to do that. Somebody has to push the dealers to help the consumers out for a change. Thank you.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2017-11-10
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- Crash: 1
- VIN: JTDKT4K3XA5
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: NOVEMBER 10, 2017 - I WAS T-BONED BY A MOTORIST (WHO RAN THE LIGHT) ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHILE ATTEMPTING A LEFT HAND TURN THRU AN INTERSECTION. THE 2010 TOYOTA YARIS I WAS DRIVING WAS TOTALED BY THE COLLISION ($8,266.72 OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE). THE YARIS SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE YARIS'S LEFT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS COLLAPSED INTO THE YARIS CABIN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO BREAK MY SAMSUNG NOTE 4 PHONE DISPLAY & DAMAGE ITS INTERNAL SOLID STATE DRIVE. THE SAMSUNG NOTE 4 WAS ENCASED IN AN OTTER BOX AND ATTACHED TO MY LEFT HIP VIA OTTER BELT CLIP DURING THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. MY HEAD STRUCK A HARD SURFACE IN THE YARIS, RESULTING IN A LARGE HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT FRONTAL LOBE. TOYOTA INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT WITHIN THE SPAN OF 68 MILLISECONDS, THE LATERAL DELTA-V AIRBAG SENSOR WAS ACCELERATED FROM 0.0 MPH TO 11.1 MPH. YET THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. PER TOYOTA, SINCE THE SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEEMED IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AND DID NOT DESIGNATE THE COLLISION WARRANTED DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. WHEN QUERIED WHAT THRESHOLD WAS REQUIRED TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS (NOTING THE INSTANTANEOUS LATERAL ACCELERATION OF A 2300+ LBS VEHICLE FROM 0 MPH TO 11 MPH WAS INSUFFICIENT), TOYOTA INSISTED I HIRE MY OWN ENGINEERS TO RESEARCH. TOYOTA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO ASSIST LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN COVERING UP A POTENTIAL FLAW IN THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM UTILIZED IN THE YARIS AND POTENTIALLY OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE MODELS. TOYOTA'S CAVALIER REGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS POTENTIALLY PLACES MILLIONS OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

Additionally, unless included in "Zone A" above, Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 Scion xB and Lexus IS F, 2007-2008 Toyota Yaris, 2006-2008 Lexus IS250 and Lexus IS350 and 2007-2008 Lexus ES350 vehicles, originally sold, or ever registered, in Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, or "Zone B." Vehicles of these model years and models that were not originally sold or ever registered in either Zones A or B are not subject to this safety recall. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front air bags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
- Consequence: An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Remedy: Toyota will notify the Toyota and Lexus owners. General Motors will contact the Pontiac owners. Depending on the model, dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator or the air bag assembly, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for interim notification for this campaign are G1P (Toyota Zone A), G1R (Toyota Zone B), G2G (Lexus Zone A), and G2H (Lexus Zone B). Toyota's numbers for final remedy for this campaign are G0P (Toyota Zone A), G0R (Toyota Zone B), GLG (Lexus Zone A), and GLH (Lexus Zone B).

- Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing
- Components: VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
- Summary: Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Scion xB, 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2006-2011 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, and 2009-2010 Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.
- Consequence: If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
- Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is C0M.

- Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing
- Components: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
- Summary: Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
- Consequence: If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
- Remedy: Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-762-2737.

The Yaris is a great choice for those looking for a reliable and economical car. While it may not be a performance car, it handles well and is comfortable to drive. With highway miles going 60-70, I was able to get an impressive 42 mpg while running the AC. In the city, I got mid 30's with AC while driving conservatively. The interior is roomy and the seats are nice, with clearly visible instruments. The manual windows and locks mean there's less to break. The stereo system does the job, although the radio reception could be better. Overall, the Yaris is a great option for those who want a dependable car that won't break the bank.

I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share that I've had my Yaris for a year now and it's been a fantastic second car. It has all the features I need to get around town easily.

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my experience with the car I recently purchased as a second vehicle for city driving. It's been a great fit for my needs! Despite having a small engine, it's surprisingly sprightly and I've found that I can easily keep up with larger vehicles on the road. While it does require a bit more input from the driver than larger cars, I find that it makes the driving experience more engaging and adds to the fun factor! Overall, I think it's a great car for its intended purpose of cheap commuting and it's relatively comfortable too. The only minor issue I've noticed is that the throttle tip-in can be a little aggressive and sudden, but I've gotten used to it after driving it for 3000 miles.

I bought a 5-door Yaris in 2010 solely for its gas mileage, given my daily commute. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the car is enjoyable overall. It can even fit all three of my kids in the back if needed. The manual is bright and easy to shift, and the power is impressive even at 1500 rpm. I usually stay in 5th gear unless I'm stopped or on a steep hill. The stereo is nice and comes with an iPod jack. Although the interior is a bit plasticky, it's to be expected. The car is zippy and easy to park anywhere. If you're looking to save money and help the environment, I highly recommend getting one. Just keep in mind that Toyota doesn't make one without the power package, so you'll need to add an extra $1,000+ to the price. I paid $14,200 for mine.

Fun car to drive. Three fill ups to date: 36.7, 37.7 and 38.7 MPG. Lots of room. Pretty smooth ride. Got a great deal and 5 Year 0% financing. What's not to like! An absolute winner! My wife thinks it's really cute.

Are you having problems with your 2010 Toyota Yaris?
Selmer Stiedemann 2024-06-25
The car I drove was not up to my expectations and I have driven many cars before. I traded a 2007 Mini Cooper for it, but unfortunately, it did not meet my standards. Passing a car in front of me required a lot of effort as the car did not respond well. The automatic transmission was not smooth and the brakes were quite terrifying. Additionally, the car had trouble tracking over 60 miles per hour and there was no comfortable place for my feet. Although the gas mileage was good, I would not recommend this car to new buyers. Instead, I suggest considering a Mini Cooper.

The car I was sold has cargo area 'B' and no certification. Despite my concerns, the dealership informed me that they do not provide certification and that the nearest Toyota dealer is 190 miles away. As a 70-year-old woman with circulation problems, I need a car with a flat cargo area to travel for medical purposes and to look for a new home. Unfortunately, the cargo area in this Yaris is not what I was shown and is not usable for my needs. I have tried to get information on how to upgrade to the other cargo area option, but have been unsuccessful. Additionally, the carpeting in the cargo area is extremely slippery and items slide around. I have contacted the Toyota company for assistance, but they referred me back to Midcity Toyota in Eureka, CA. I would appreciate a resolution to this issue as soon as possible.I am unable to use plywood due to my allergy, but I can have someone cut a piece to fit if it is flat. However, I have been informed that plywood emits harmful gases that cause my headaches. Despite this setback, I am confident that I will find a solution. Additionally, I recently discovered that the mileage button was set to 'trip' instead of 'odometer' after owning the car for 8 months. The instrument panel is located far to the right of the driver's seat and has multiple temperature controls, which can be confusing. Nevertheless, I am the only one allowed to drive the car due to insurance reasons. Although the controls are not as straightforward as my previous car, I appreciate that this car is modern and fuel-efficient, which aligns with my environmentally conscious values and budget. In this area, many people drive large trucks that consume excessive amounts of fuel and emit harmful pollutants, but I am proud to drive a more sustainable vehicle.

The car tracking issue is causing it to veer to the right at freeway speeds. This has resulted in motion sickness on two separate occasions during trips over 100 miles. Based on this experience, I would not consider purchasing this car again. Additionally, both the dealer and manufacturer have been unhelpful in addressing the issue, which is disappointing as they claim to prioritize customer satisfaction.
