Yaris t-sport problem, can anyone help?
My Girfriend has a yaris T-sport which she uses as a driving school car. Now naturally it takes a fair bit of abuse but unlike previous older cars she's used, it seems to go into some kind of safety mode. It only seems to happen when the kids accidentally put it into a high gear going up hills, and it will then only move then in 1st/2nd and definitely won't go above 20mph, practically coming to a halt in 3rd even when the accelerator is flat to the floor!? any ideas??? If this this some kind of safety mode kicked in the ECU any way to shut it off?!

Reliability Index :: how reliable is your car?
Out of 1000, 18.62 Toyota owners made warranty claims against 39.76 Audi owners. Audis are less reliable than Citroens, Alfa Romeos and Fiats.
So if Toyotas aren't reliable, what does that make Audis?

The a rover model is reliable according to that site. Rovers arent reliable 
lol I could tear apart that source but I cant be bothered.
Just think about this, if your cheap as chips toyota all of a sudden gets a interior rattle will you care?
I know I wouldnt, its a cheap car people expect it, but if its a premium motor
If you want to put up a decent argument get some stats for major mechanical failures. Then we'll talk.

According to you Audi has class leading interiors - so where are these supposed rattles coming from?

Not a very good example if it doesn't apply, is it? It's like saying "AudiLover is an example of a knowledgable car enthusiast" when you're anything but.
The fact is that warranty companies only pay out for major mechanical defects, of which Audis have more than Toyotas. Your claim that Toyotas are unreliable makes you look even more of a fool than normal.

Then why is it that statistics always vary HUGELY from country to country?
BTW did you know that over a million toyotas got recalled last year due to safety issues. Shows how much you know.
The toyotas of today just arent standing the test of time anymore
