To solve tailgating problems, very EASY.. For me my car is flitted with rear super HD dashcam with blinking led light every 15 seconds. Used for past 18 months..
Tailgater will follow your car a while and speed away left or right lanes after seeing your rear dashcam led light .. or stop tailgate when seeing rear dashcam at traffic light stop junction.. Good decision making, right?? If Tailgater "kiss", they will losing their car NCD and pay higher insurance premium cost starting next renewal.. From solid evidence point of view, no "horse runaway" if there's any road accident or argument who is right or wrong..
Many car owners installed front dashcam camera, but I would encourage all car owners to install for rear dashcam too. Like new Vios, rear dashcam is optional and cost rm 350..
Easy to get and install, with WiFi connectivity .. Upload and Download through WiFi.. Alternatively, take out rear dashcam Micro SD card and put it into computer to retrieve image.
Edited : I replied at City forum and copy/paste here as well on importance of rear dashcam and tailgating matter..
Had mine installed from my previous car. best handover "mod" ever.

I have the same feeling too, disappointed with Toyota quality. My Vios 2015 comes with 3 years warranty. First few months driving found out minor 'tick' sound inside dashboard. Toyota test it and found out it's due to the airbag cable not arranged properly and it's knocking other parts inside dashboard. Toyota open the whole dashboard to fix it.
After 2 years, realized my front window has bubbles around the border inside the window. Complaint to Toyota and they said is manufacturing defect, helped me to claim under warranty to replace the whole front window.
After 3 years of driving and out of warranty, I realized a minor short 'tick' sound when start to turn steering from static, happening intermittently. Drive to Toyota to test, and told me need to replace the Steering Rack. Just passed the warranty for about 4 months and can't claim under warranty. The replacement of steering rack plus labor cost about RM3.6k+. My car only at less then 50,000 km mileage but the steering rack needed for replacement? So this is Toyota quality - the steering rack could failed in 3 years time! I did emailed to Toyota support (customersupport@toyota.com.my) to request to claim under Warranty but no reply from them.
The customer service told me they had replaced few steering racks on this model, seemed like this model mostly having common issue. I felt reluctance to pay for it, maybe wait for it to become more serious only to replace it. Who knows... if I replace it and maybe need to replace again by next 3 years? So it's about RM1.2K extra maintenance cost yearly for a new car? Sound worst then maintaining an old car! Last time I drove Myvi for 9 years never has any issue before.
By conclusion, you can see that the Vios is not longer has good QC and parts quality as before. If anyone has idea on how to take further action on this apart from just pay RM3.6K to fix the steering rack please comment.
Thank you.

I asked my friend with Honda city 2017 FL.. He has the same noise at driver side door. He also experience rattling noise at dashboard

Could it be the steering rack noise issue? This gen City is infamous for it, even until FL this problem is still not solved the factory. Need for SC to fix the problem.
^ was randomly browsing other car club threads and found out the same steering rack issue. It's just too common for newer cars for some reason.
