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 usually call them the VIOS swat team...

I Think U Better Share This In TVCM

www.viosclub.com

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.

JULY 06 till now 27kkm... it is quite high kawan... I don't have the problem u facing.. I mean the driveshalf problem... my already 31kkm.. but my is not the facelift batch...


about the belt sound.. u have to tighten the belt since Vios don't have the "spring" to tighten the belt itself like Altis..

1. current vios is ckd

2. side impact wont deploy airbag...tat 1 is side airbags which vios doesn't have...

corret me if i am wrong

The SRS airbag sensor is right in front at the engine bay. You should be able to see it when you open up the bonnet. If the accident did not trigger that sensor, the airbags would not deploy. Besides that, the driver must be wearing their seatbelts as well. (if passenger airbags available, they should put it on as well)

u are right.. VIOS airbag sensor are only in the engine bay..

What is AF Ratio???

Yes wind down the window, i'll now can say it's 100% electrostatic/spark. When at the petrol pump it make me more crazy.





IINM they told me that to tighten the belt u need to apply certain power and certain tight, or else it will hurt the bearing inside.
I drove alot laa bro,

Yeah.. You rite.. must be due to not wearing seatbelt otherwise his head won't be "bend" like that... MuaHaHaHa...

Does the 'tick tick tick' sounds came from the dashboard ? If yes, then you should ask the sc to put sort of a thin padding in the cd player/radio DIN compartment(inside the dashboard). I had mine fixed. Problem solved.

Hey, don't simply quote me la

Agreed

Cow owned milk, bull got name... MuaHaHaHa...

Air fuel ratio i think

Guys, read my post again carefully... The first impact was a FRONTAL IMPACT, it was pretty severe, the whole front is half gone... I know current generation airbags have dual-stage capability, and it doesn't deploy as "easily" compared to airbags of old... But frontal impact where half the engine bay is gone, I think that should justify an airbag deployment, right?

Oh and by the way, the Vios driver did infact wore his seatbelt during the accident... Hmm, maybe now you guys may say that his pre-tensioner belt failed?

Hmm.... then maybe his pre-tensioner belt failed?

MuaHaHaHa...

Hard to say lar.. i use to ask car salesman.. "how you can confirmed this airbag can deployed".. he kenot answer... Kekkeekeee.....

I doubt Toyota ckd car's are worst then Honda's ckd,
check out the list of honda's ckd problem
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/461386
and the best part is, you fix something just to have a new problem come out, the shittiest car I now drive is a damn honda! really regret!

my next car will definitely not be a honda!!! could be a Toyota...

please do not conclude that hastily & by basing on that somewaht limited info/source...

really sorry if u happen to get such a "lemon grade" car...

while you personally is loosing faith & won't get a honda for ur next ride, it would be more benficial to all here if you willing to share out ur unpleasant events / faulty items of ur current honda... at least it will serve as a reference guide for potential buyer of this model to take more precaution or checking on that particular part/item...

cheers...

I agree, it's not wise to just blindly bash... Please do share your bad experience with everyone here...

The only way to know would be to check if the SRS sensor is still at the engine bay

Wtf!!! GUYS, you miss my post kah!!! ALL MY BAD EXP WITH HONDA IS HERE DUDE, GO LOOK!

Come on la, have a heart for this poor Vios owner la, ok? His Vios is now total loss la... And it's not even his fault to begin with...

This accident was not caused by him... After his crash, a few minutes later 2 more cars met the same fate but didn't crash as badly as him... I suspect some a$$hole must've poured oil onto the road...

Added on May 24, 2007, 10:57 amWoah, dude, calm down... I read about your problems oredi, OK? I'm really really sorry to hear that.

What a sad state of affairs for Honda... First, Kah Motor nearly fcuked up the brand, now Honda themselves is fcuking up their own brand...

No wonder their Honda F1 cars are not really performing this season, so many technical problems...

yeah, buy back proton....

Nope, i also had the tick-tick from the radio compartment but if happen i only need to press the wooden look-a-like frame the sound gone already.

but i donno it happen to u or not , but u can try after driving a while when u gonna take a junction (45 degrees / 5-10 kmh) while ur window is down , u can hear a tick tick sound at ur driver side .

P/S: It also happen to this PGR 9182, just hear it when the Mech doing the testing, i ask the toyota guy there they said the owner complained that his car got cracking sound under his car. But the Mech didnt remarks what they have done and i also donno is it solve or not

i got 2 vios and one of the vios got problem from the start but now solve already and another car so far no problem at all.

Both cars is 3 yrs + already. One is pure stock and one is modded. Now very satisfied with it.

It all depends on luck.

I was thinking on buying VIOS.
But after reading this thread, I might stick on Perodua/Proton.

same QC problem with my cousin's vios. 2nd day already got problem

somemore their after sales service bad also.. only free 3 times labour charge or smth? she's been complaining till now still got problem with her vios.. prolly she;s the unlucky one

usually people that cars got problem will complain...
those that got no problem, will not complain

so yeah....

Just share the problem that u can ignore, that u DIY, that u brought up to SC
a few times but didnt solve.

___________________________________________________________

but sometimes there's a driver just realize that their car got problem after reading this.

should be pinging sound. try change other petrol brand.

bro,
mind to tell what is that "pinging sound" and the connection with the petrol?
TQ

i only know that spoiled pinging sound something like this "Request time out"

I think he meant engine knocking sound caused by petrol RON

Okie..okie.. i'm sorry. Sorry for his lose also..
I also experience slippery case before but for slurry lorry sampah..

Added on May 25, 2007, 9:42 amAfter reading this thread.. i go home and found that my front tyre got Krekk Krekk sound.. send it to SC and its only due to stone at disk break... MuaHaHaHa... scared edi...

hehehe try again after another 500km to double confirm, the best night at silent place (basement parking)....

dangerous to do those things at night... especially at basement car park..

hahaahah , i mean u can clearly heard it.... u funny...man

ya, u always can refer to hypermount's thread...then u will love proton more

It might not be the airbag is not working well... It more possible that the driver is driving without fasten the seat belt... for new Vios seat belt it comes with force limiter and pre-tensioner safety features whereby with this features the airbag will not deploy if the driver is not fasten the seat belt due to safety...

For your information previous Vios and current Vios and future Vios will be only CKD not CBU from Thailand

not sure whether I faced the same problem as yours...

I bought my Vios TRD last year (2014). After the previous service, I m not sure whether it's my driving style or the car problem.. I realise that there're some "vibration" noise came out from the front part of the driver seat when the RPM reached above 1.5, below 2.0. This only occur during the engine pick up period, eg., after I started to drive from a stop of a traffic light @ passing through bumps.
I brought back the car to toyota s.c., they mentioned that it should be my daylight cable, and they've tighten it up for me. since then, I tried to drive again, and i realize the noise still persists.
anyone here driving TRD also facing the same problem...?
