Alot more people drive elegance , a lot of live at stake too. Maybe a major recall for elegance model... QUOTE(muslayer @ Jun 11 2010, 01:42 PM) no problem with older batch IAFM model. QUOTE(JonSpark @ Jun 11 2010, 01:48 PM) older batch non-IAFM model lagi no problem. Yes true. I too seriously think that there's a lot of problems with new Personas (Elegance models). Seems like a lot to do with its 32 bit ecu and on others as well. Mine too (IAFM version) had one slight major problem which was the IAFM knocking but was replaced and its good till now. 2nd would be my warped front disc brake. To improve the stock brakes, i replaced the front pads to a much better one eg. Trestor Advantage. So far, i am happy with my IAFM version Persona. Coming to a year now.

That's why i prefer a car that has been on the market for quite a while. No point rushing to buy a model that just launched... Usually there would be problems uncovered.

You paid FIFTY THOUSAND for it. Because of a defective part they produced, they risked your LIFE, your CAR, other people's LIVES and other people's CARS. And all they can think about is covering their own backside? Not even a simple sorry? WTF?Added on June 11, 2010, 2:54 pm thats y ar..i say i wan report on this problem...they say canot provide black n white..coz scare i will share among online on their black n white report.so i ok lor... But of course, this is assuming it really is a known defect in the car that caused all this. |

Last time the Waja auto they got one manufacturer made a gate-shift casing and mechanism for auto user to convert. No news about persona though   QUOTE(roundedfly @ Jun 11 2010, 02:46 PM) before that , this morning when i reached there..before i say my problem..i just mentioned.ecu...the service agent replied: nyala sendiri ah??(like they knew wats the problem) then i mentioned brake..he say canot brake ya??(like he knew)!!! That means not the first time and they aware already.... Haih.. well, try to talk on getting another car on the reason you scared this car might fail again... doesn't hurt to try persuading. Lastly, i think u should write this problem to several newspaper at the least, make people aware, hence it might can save people life perhaps? ...then my fuel gauge...goes empty always even my petrol is full...dam itmetal klunking in front = still ok misfit iafm = no prob bad radio reception = can cincai braking fail = a definitely no-no |
