THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY MANUAL-TRANSMISSION 2007 TOYOTA YARIS WILL INTERMITTENTLY COME ON FOR A PERIOD OF SEVERAL HOURS UP TO SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. SOMETIMES WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. IT ALSO MAY STALL, OR THE ENGINE WILL REV REALLY HIGH WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING TOUCHED. I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC THAT REPLACED ONE OF THE SENSORS, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

BECAUSE OF THE POOR DESIGN THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS CANNOT MAKE GOOD CONTACT GOING AROUND CORNERS, UP HILL OR FROM A DEAD STOP.THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE HIT SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK IT IN TO BE REPAIRED ($215.95) YET BEING OF PLASTIC IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED SOME TO BELIEVE THE CAR IS ACCE…
