    just bought 2009 viosG M/T(2nd hand), 2400 (odometer reading), 1 week pa lang sakin ..minsan ayaw niya mag-start-start agad;(walang redondo; of course NAKA-APAK SA CLUTCH PEDAL!) even just right after shutting off the engine..Pero after trying several times ,eventually nag-start naman.. defective na kaya key(with transmitter)?
    Or malfunctioning na kaya yung immobilizer system? May naka-experience na po ba nito dito?

    When you bought the car did you check the service records? You should do a background check first, like calling the Toyota CASA who has the car's service record or checking with the cars insurance company for 2009-2010 since they can confirm if the car was flooded. The Toyota Warranty Booklet of my 08 Vios says that Acts of God "is not covered" and will void the 3 year/100,000km warranty. It did flood pretty badly here in Paranaque (waist deep) in the wake of Ondoys wrath, but it depends if the previous owner drove the car through flood waters high enough to reach the electrical system; ECU, Starter Motor, Immobilizer/Keyless Entry Module, Airbag Sensors, ABS-Unit, Electronic Power Steering Unit, Eletronic Throttle Control and the Clutch cut-off switch, all electrical and could deteriorate over time. If the records are clean, check the under the carpet for traces dirt or water marks, since you've mention the car was clean it could've been detailed to remove the flood water odor and stains. Also look the bolts and screws in the interior if they look like they have been previously removed or showing any signs of rust. Hope you can have your vios fixed in a jiffy I just hope it could be just a defective or loose Clutch cut-off switch since that is quickest and easiest problem to fix...

    --> try adjusting ung floor mat mo..para talagang sagad ung apak mo sa clutch.. kasi minsan kala mo sagad na ung apak pero di pala dahil nahaharangan nung mat.. o kaya make sure na talagang todo (as in todo ung apak mo hanggang dulo) ngyari din kasi skin yang sinasabi.. auto ko 2010 vios.. for the first 2 mos.. hirap na hirap din ako iistart ung auto.. as in same experience tayo na kala ko nga nuon defective.. i even reported it to toyota.. pero i realized na kailangan lang talaga apakan ng husto ung clutch.. dahil kung di.. hindi tlaga mags-start yan.. nakaka-frustrate pero once makuha mo na ung tamang timpla.. panalo yan!

    wala redondo pero may naririnig ka bang click (tunog ng bendix drive) kung wala baka sa cut off relay ng alarm or immobilizer or sa ignition switch, pero alam ko vios wala immobilizer.

    Take note yan ay isa sa mga symptoms ng mga na ondoy at na pepeng. Sana hiningan mo ng certificate of flood free from toyota sa seller. Kung casa maintained yan alam ko nagbibigay sila

    Bro just a quick warning, binaha kami sa merville / moonwalk area nung ondoy. Depende lang kung saang street siya sa merville siguro. Not saying binaha or hindi, but it's a possibility.
