I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN DECEMBER 2006 IN PUERTO RICO. I NEEDED A CAR TO VISIT MY FATHER WHO CURRENTLY LIVES THERE. DURING 2007 THROUGH 2012, I VISITED HIM APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES AND DROVE THE CAR. IN 2013, I DECIDED TO BRING THE CAR TO VIRGINIA, US. I BOUGHT THE 2006 YARIS TOYOTA TO THE US WITH APPROXIMATELY 6K MILES IN MARCH 2013. IN MAY 2013, THE SENSOR CONTROLLING THE AIR BAGS TURNED ON AND I IT WAS UNABLE TO PASS STATE INSPECTION. THE WEEK AFTER, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE CAR LOST ALL OF THE BRAKES FUNCTIONALITY. I HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKES IN THIS CAR OR ELSE HAVE AN ACCIDENT. OVERALL BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND NEW BRAKES IT IS COSTING OVER $1300. IN TWO MONTHS OF DRIVING THE CAR FROM FREDERICKSBURG VIRGINIA TO SPRINGFIELD VIRGINIA, THE MILEAGE USED WAS ABOUT 4K EXTRA. IN ESSENCE; THE CAR WITH ONLY 10K, AND IS AT HOME WHILE I THINK OF WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR IS PAID OFF AND A CAR ON ONLY 10K MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE SO MANY ISSUES. TOYOTA SAID IT CANNOT REPAIR THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS A 2006 MODEL, HOWEVER THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS ONLY 10K. *TR
