Apparently a lot of customers have complained of the same problem. |

Happy to hear this. 16" tyres with a taller sidewall will definitely handle bad roads better than 17s. You'll benefit from superior ride quality too. As mentioned in my review: Big 17" rims with lower profile tyres is just bad news for a people mover, no matter how luxurious its positioning is. |

If you decide to go ahead with the swap just make sure its Toyota doing the swap and not the dealer who want to help a fellow customer upgrade his G or V spec 16" wheel to 17" inch :D Confirm the news of the swap with Toyota. |

Can't fault them as this is not expected of a new vehicle. I am now waiting at the Toyota service centre since morning. They are checking. On the bright side this did not strand me. |

Unable to digest that this can happen with a Toyota. Ifs it's a recall why is not Toyota officially recalling ? Why wait for the user's complaint and then act ? Probably toyota doesn't want to have any blot on Innova's reliability and image. |

This happened with me too but I am running on 16" tyres. The ODO on my car back then was 2.6k KMS and hardly a month old. In my case both the left side tyres have burst. It's not even a deep pothole and a very common one on Blore roads. I was told that the side tyre wall took a hit at the edge of the alloy and eventually led to this. Was never convinced of it, but went ahead with the replacement of both the tyres and brushed it away as a one off incident. You can check my previous posts on this thread about the same. I did quote this incident to the Service Head at the Toyota dealer. He said that's a different incident altogether unlike mine, where the tyres got into the potholes. |

I did a google search on this issue. This is reported on many old Toyotas with auto transmission and the problem (in those vehicles) is due to a faulty Neutral/Transmission range switch which sits outside the transmission housing. |

Even the local Bridgestone dealership (Rathi Tyre) advised me to go for 16 inches or better set of rubber on the 17 inches 225/50/R17. The Bridgestone dealer also proclaimed that he has changed the tyres of 3 Crysta's. |

New issue to report on my Crysta AT. The PRND lights on the dashboard does not work neither does the reverse lights. When the transmission is put into R there is a slight delay in engagement and it engages roughly with a jerk. Otherwise there is no other issue in D mode and while driving. |

Could you all mention the brand of tyres used as well ? I'm curious about this because I have horrible sidewall experience with Goodyear brand. Good year - 2 out of 5 tyres lost with sidewall crack @ 15k kms, 1 out of 5 tyres lost with sidewall crack @ 20k kms. The last 2 tyres, I sold it for 2nd hand price at 15k kms, and replaced them with Bridgestone Turanza ER300. So, I'm not sure whether they completed its life or not. With Bridgestones ( Turanza ER300 ), only 1 out of 6 tyres used faced this, that too after 30,000 kms of usage. With Michelins XM2s, never faced these cracks yet. And yes, I too have a lower profile tyre on the VD variant of the Etios, even though the load is not as heavy as the Innova. |

As I was just leaving the Service Center after booking a slot on Monday for detailed inspection both the CEL and ! lit up on the console. I called CRM and he got the vehicle in for checkup. The light did not pop up earlier so now with the error logged in the ECU they can do the diagnosis. The vehicle is with them now. Preliminary diagnosis based on the error code points to transmission range switch as mentioned in the threads below. My only relief is that this is a known issue and there is a solution for it. If not Toyota i don't know whom to trust, speaking just about me. Hope they can find a solution for this problem. |

Apart from this, consider a scenario, let say your car is 'On' mode and you were listening to the Radio which you just put on mute. You now wish to crank up your car and now, when the radio comes back on, it's not mute anymore. I think it cuts/resets all the electricals during engine start-up or am I doing something wrong? |

Any update on this Sankar? Is it rectified? I found the gear shift to be not so smooth except for N <==> D. Last week, I parked the vehicle in my garage and wanted to reverse it again immediately. The engine is still running and when I tried to shift to R, it made a violent jerk with a big sound. I turned off the ignition and started it again, engaged Reverse and it was normal. Have been careful ever since to be little more gentle with the gear shifter. |
