Dear Vios User do share any issues that u faced with ur Vios.
Do put some info about ur Vios

I'll start first,

Vios Facelift
puchased July 2006
mil 27k++

Problems:

The Cracking/ ticking sound (to be precise sound like current jumping from the Van de Graaff Electrostatic Generator aka tesla coil) between F/Right tire and the body(if u squad down u can see altenator(also not sure but something looked like motor).

The tick tick not immediately happen, but only after i drove car for some KM then when u took a corner. It will clearly heard if i'm in the basement parking. And this problem the SC still didn't have the solution for it yet.

But already explain to then it not neither my driveshaft nor the stones that stuck to the tires. The sound don't have sequent and not immediately happen . I can say 90% believed that something to do with Electrostatic / not proper grounding.


When i start the car in the morning, the belting (i dunno which one ) gimme very annoying sound. Sometime it will cont. itching me even after i drove more than 10km...
(make me shamed with my neighbors) - But solve after complained 3 times to the SC.

oh god.....
cant u share this in the toyota thread ?

toyota thread is mix with all kinds of models... so very difficult to track mah...

but i believe in future all the problems stated here will be "quoted" for other purposes...

Agreed ............

But nothing to hide, just to help other consumer ...................

exactly
then we will have flame war (insert number here) again

i support the good intention behind... really, we really need places to share infos...

u may visit the toyota thread, get know of a few VIOS tai kor there, then can attract them to share here oso... like igor bro lah, Bu Fung bro lah...

I Think U Better Share This In TVCM

VIOS swat team meh? MuaHaHaHa...

Nope.. i didn't have that kind of problem..

My problem only with power window where it's plate displace.. minor krek krek sound only but i complaint like hell.. Solved after 3 time at SC with new transferred malay guy there.. very good..

Vios is CKD also. Same as Honda Civic CKD issue in another thread. Haiz, anything that made in Malaysia is so sickening

CKD plus manufactured in Thailand. haih...

vios got problems???
really or not wo...

or is you are the unlucky 1???

Actually, the current batch of Vios is no longer CKD, it's CBU Thailand now.

I heard another problem regarding the Vios, this comes from a Vios 1.5G owner. A few weeks ago, he got into a bad car accident... The accident occured on the Bukit Jalil highway right at the TPM/Serdang exit... For unknown reasons, as he was approaching the exit, his Vios suddenly spinned 360 degrees twice! The first impact was the front, it hit the curb, then 2nd impact was at the side where his Vios hit a tiang...

As you can see, that was a pretty hard impact and guess what... His Vios' airbags DID NOT DEPLOY! The side impact was so severe that if you look at the Vios from above, it looked like banana-shaped oredi... The poor fella's forehead was bengkak and bled like mad... Lucky he was still conscious and was crying for help...

The poor guy's head hit the steering so hard during the crash that the steering shape changed from round to square liao... And the fcuking Airbag DID NOT DEPLOY!!

Vios owners, you guys better take your precious ride to Toyota SC and have them do a diagnostic on your Airbag systems... Make sure it deploys when it's suppose to!

my friend new VIOS. Water leaking to passenger seat. What do you think? Why you think I always say P1 = P2 = Toyota CKD = Honda CKD quality?

u think toyota is god mer...
even my fren's vios n my bro's altis have creaking sound to their interior fittings

hmmmm.... then i shd change my mind set already...

btw, recently i heard from my fren, that his fren brought Vios around RM66K leh...
it's all Kosong 1... no air bag, no abs... and many no no ...

yes, must change mindset. buy japanese CBU only.

Eh where ur fren bought his/her vios? there no kosong vios sold in mysia in the moment.

Actually, there never was...

vios 1.5e is almost kosong safe for the driver airbag only....

so u wind down your window to hear the sound?

I think it's pinging sound. It's normal to all car because the AF ratio is not rich n high timing.
