Anyone facing wind screen corner bubble issue or not? My vios is about 2 years old. Today my friend told me that her vios (3 years old) having this issue, asked me to check mine. And end up I found the same. Toyota service center can't answer what's the problem now, only can write report to KL for advice.

These are few photos taken:




My friend's vios having the bubble almost surrounded the wind screen, and mine one so far only spotted at left and right corner. My friend said the bubble will slowly growing.

Anyone know what's that problem? Please also help to check if your vios having similar problem.

Thanks.

What I'm worry is the screen may fully cracked after certain period of time when the bubble fully rounded the windscreen corner. Toyota SC here told my friend to ask me to report the problem as well. I'll do it on my next service few weeks after. Have to report while warranty still valid, just in case need to change the whole windscreen which will cost a bomb after warranty expired.

Any impact on long run? Will it cause screen crack in future?

Sorry to bring out this old topic. Recently my Vios 2016 with mileage about 50K having minor knock sound at the time when start to turn the steering from static. It happening intermittently, not sure if my car having same symptom as yours. I did sent my car to Toyota SC to check and the report mentioned need to replace Steering Rack which cost near to RM4K including labor charges... However, I still wondering if the SC check it carefully or just simply bluffing only. I'll try to check with some mechanics outside when free. Not sure if your case are the same and have you replace yours to fix the issue?

Just wondering why the Vios steering rack lifespan so short, only for 3 years+? My warranty just over by 3 months time, cannot claim warranty anymore . Previously I used my Myvi for 9 years, never has such problem happening, feeling disappointed with Toyota car now.

Hi all,

Anyone know what's the email address to raise complaint to Toyota or UMW efficiently apart from the standard customersupport@toyota.com.my? I want to appeal for the warranty claim for the Steering Rack issue. I just asked the mechanic about the Steering Rack issue, he said Toyota car shouldn't has such issue for less than 5 years car.

Thank you.

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.

Mine original ecotint at back window starts to show bubble just 3 years+. I went to change it immediately after I found 2 bubbles on it, and luckily no harm to the heater line. If the bubble getting more then could be higher chances to damage the heater line upon remover.
