Toyota Yaris [new model] - heavy throttle pedal - charon
Good morning.
My first post in ages. My question is, does anyone on the forum own or has driven a new model Yaris?
I am finding the throttle pedal very heavy to use, to the point it is causing me foot pain. I am disabled so this may have something to do with it, but I never had trouble with my previous car which was an old model Jazz.
I have only driven 700 miles so far.
Many thanks

Pop into your friendly Toyota dealer and have a word with the service manager, i expect they can do something about the weighting for you.

If they cannot improve it a floor mounted throttle pedal conversion may help.

Toyota assessed the car and found no fault. I am in touch with an adaptations firm and will probably have an electronic hand operated ring on the steering wheel.
