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!
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...I heard another problem regarding the Vios, this comes from a Vios 1.5G owner.

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