Toyota Vios 2021 Gearbox Issues
My Toyota Vios (2021 model) started making an abnormal sound from the front right tyre like it's scraping against something with minor vibrations. The sound was obvious when I'm driving more than 50km/h. Toyota SC advised that it was a wheel bearing issue, so went to a 3rd party workshop and got it replaced but literally made no difference.
Went to Lim Tayar for 2nd opinion and they said it's a gearbox issue and suggested to opt for recon GB which costed RM4,800 incl. labour. So parked my car there for them to get a deeper inspection before confirming the job but as of yesterday, they told me they already fixed it so I've got no choice but to pay them.
Wondering if this has happened to any other Vios owners or am I just unlucky? As I understand GB is not something that is common to fail especially when the car is only 5 years old with less than 80k mileage.
Coincidentally, my 5 year warranty just ended in February 2026 as well.
