[Resolved]  Toyota Etios — Toyota Etios common problems faced by me.

Toyota Etios common Problems faced by owner.
I would once again like to mention my problems as follows-

1) Engine Vibration at Idle/ Neutral position.
When the vehicle ignition is switched “ON” the vehicle shakes heavily and produces noise.
Secondly when the vehicle is “START” and the gear is Neutral/ idling condition – vehicle produces lot of vibration.This vibration is irritating and distracts attention for every moment spent in the Etios.The vibrations are so intense that the vibrations are felt in the driver and passenger seats, steering, side arm rest, roof top, tail ( boot space) of my etios.

2) Road Noise inside the cabin.
When the vehicle is moving on the road, great amount of sound from the tyre reaches the inside cabin of the car, which is very irritating while driving.This noise is heard even with window glass closed and AC switched ON.

3) Engine Noise inside the cabin.
The vehicle produces a lot of noise while accelerating. It sounds as if lot of lot of load has been put on the engine even with light load in the car (with 2 passengers inside the cabin). This noise is very distracting while driving.

4 ) Absence of Weather gaskets on all four Doors.
Also visit http://myetios.com for the image.
The absence of gasket makes it convenient for insects, cockroaches, ants, spiders and lizards to get inside the vehicle as soon as the door is opened. The interior area of the cabin trapped between the frame and door is always dirty even though the vehicle is cleaned from outside. www.myetios.com

5) Jerks while driving
Less weight of the car makes it bouncy on road.The suspension is poor and the impact of the holes on road comes directly to the passsngers inside the car cabin. The ride is rough. The comfort part is missing from the vehicle.

6) Battery
The battery drains out completely in less than a weeks time of non usage of the vehicle. It has happened with me three times.

7) Paint
The pain quality is poor as it chips out and cracks out.

8.) Air conditioner
The Air Conditioner, when it is switched off produces bad smell inside the cabin.

9) Brakes
The brakes are ineffective and takes time to fully act on pedal press.

10) Transmission – Reverse Gear
On application of reverse gear the gears make jarring noise. This is very annoying. The transmission is very poorly designed which takes lot of effort to shift gears. One feels like fighting with every gear change.

11) Horn sounds more inside than outside
This is because of poor acoustic insulation in Etios that the sound of horn is heard more inside the passenger cabin than outside.

12) Pick up
The pickup is very low at any gear and even the new vehicle seems to be tired and exhausted.

13) Mileage
The actual mileage of ETIOS in city conditions is not more than 10 kilometer per litre in city conditions. The company claims it to be more than 17.5 kilometers per litre.

14) Interior
The interior plastic quality is very raw and gives a very cheap feeling. The interior plastic shade is also very irritating. The seats are also of very poor quality. The interior plastic has started making absurd noise because of excessive vibrations in the vehicle.

I have been following it up with toyota for a very longtime, I am not getting any satisfactory reply from them. The people in toyota are totally ignorant of the problems of very high Noise and vibrations in my vehicle which can be felt at the steering, dashboard, side arm rest, doors, roof top, boot. The weather gaskets are missing from all 4 doors.battery gets exhausted in one week etc.

I tried to write reviews on the famous websites but some biased people would make some personal remarks to discourage me to highlight my issues. Frustrated by this, I have uploaded my own website to highlight my concerns. http://myetios.com

You can also view the same and recommend to others too. If you wish you can post your voc communication at [protected]@gmail.com so that it can be uploaded on customer website also.

I bought my toyota etios with great passion, but now I am really disappointed with the vehicle performance and the toyota customer support also.
