Etios Petrol Engine Produces Excessive Vibration Like Tractor In New 2NRFE Toyota NVH - www.myetios.com
In myetios I have the voice of Tractor Engine in the latest petrol engine produced by Toyota India Escpecially for Indian environment and terrain after rigorous study of 5 years.
The engine is very noisy and the vibrations can be felt at the tubings, housings, couplers, wiper fluid column etc.This noise is heard even during playback of songs on stereo.
The cabin of Toyota Etios Sedan produce annoying noise for me to drive myetios.
Passengers vibrate inside the Toyota Etios 2011 version. This test is very simple test to demonstrate the vibrations being produced by the poor quality of Toyota Etios Engine Higher NVH levels lead to fatigue, headache, backache, cervical and other severe body ailments with prolonged use.
Higher levels can also make the driver impulsive and unattentive on the road leading to accidents on Roads.
All these effects can cause impulsiveness in the driver and can lead to serious accidentss.
Please be aware and test the vehicle before you risk your life and the life of your near and dear ones.
This demonstrates the excessive vibrations produced in Toyota Etios, it has very high NVH - a parameter which defines the driver and passenger comforrt.
NVH is an industry term that stands for noise, vibration, and harshness.
It is a search for the source of a noise, shake, or vibration, and it refers to the entire range of
vibration perception, from hearing to feeling.
Noise is unwanted sound; vibration is the oscillation that is typically felt rather than heard.
Harshness is generally used to describe the severity and discomfort associated with
unwanted sound and/or vibration, especially from short duration events.
NVH is also called sound quality analysis, which involves metrics such as loudness,
sharpness, sound exposure level, and others.
Etios Petrol gives you the feeling of Diesel engine with vibrations and noise at the cost of Petrol.

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 technical persons visited my house on 14.04.2011 and acknowledged the intense vibrations and even made video recordings of the water bottle in Etios and my Maruti Suzuki Wagon R. In Etios the water and the bottle itself vibrates intensely at idle condition and in Wagon R there was no single vibration in water or the bottle.I am sorry to point out that no action has been taken in the matter after their visit. It is also worth mentioning that Toyota Etios is brand new and my MAruti Suzuki is 11 years old.

The vehicle lacks proper insulation and dampers used in the engine compartment which can reduce the engine noise inside the passenger cabin. The Etios design fails in this field as lot of noise is heard from engine and the tires and road, inside the passenger cabin which causes irritation. After driving for few kilometers the vibrations get more intense and are felt through steering, dashboard, side arm rest and seats as they vibrate and make the journey tiring and boring for driver and passengers as well. This Vibration effect increase as the AC is switched “OFFâ€. You can live with it in Summers but what will happen in Winters?.
We always prefer petrol over diesel fuel run vehicles because we do not mind spending more money on fuel and we do not like Engine Noise and Vibration.But in Toyota Etios Sedan you pay more for Petrol fuel and face the Engine Noise and Vibrations.
