While traveling home in wet conditions, my friend lost control of the vehicle striking 2 full size pine trees and two electric poles, basically we bounced from one to the other hitting the front head on and front left and right before coming to a stop on top of a fire hydrant...

Electrical System · at 10,340 miles · reported Apr 27, 2010
My 2009 toyota yaris experiences a loss of power, and has weird pedal habits whenever I use my radio/CD player/aux port. Other yaris owners are claiming that this is also happening to them. When I AM using the radio/CD player or aux, the car is totally different. It is almost a safety hazard because the car acts differently.
