QUOTE(viperckl @ Oct 27 2010, 11:41 AM) How many of you encounter such problem? i also encounter this problem...its something to do with brake switch...mine once in a while happened...but can start when try several times..just once i try to start without press the brake by hold the start button for 10 second..and i think we can use that method for start the car anytime...but its not advisable...i was told at sc if this problem still continuous..they will replace the brake switch.. |

QUOTE(ssek76 @ Nov 6 2010, 12:16 AM) yes, but this week, i face 2 times need to try few times only can start. don know wht the reason. and i am going to let my wife drive my car. really scare she doesn't know how to handle... i also got this problem but manage to start when keep trying and i encounter this problem several times...until last time when face this problem i started the car by press and hold down start button method...after that until today i can start with normal method without problem...donno it is bcoz of that alternative method or just my luck..but i was told it is something to do with brake switch..have to adjust or replace the new one...earlier we thought is the white thingy stuck and can not come out after press the break. but this time i confirm the white thingy is out after i pressed the pedal, yet, the engine can not start. |

QUOTE(Super_Spammer @ Nov 7 2010, 01:14 PM) yeah ppl, got this same issue as well, in fact last friday it happened for the 3rd time and but this i cant start the car for the longest period of time. tried a few times that night and again in the morning. no can do. so decided to try again in the afternoon, only then can. this is sumthing to be worried about ... the prob is how to convince/show SC tht it's actually did happen? coz last time i ask them to check , they simply ask 'have u press the break?' huh... wat kind of question is tht?... u can anytime start your car without press the brake by hold down start button about 10 sec.(in acc. mode)...please use this method only if u cant use your brake....and u can tell at sc about your problem..ask them to diagnose the problem trough computer software..they should know this..most of the part on forte can be diagnose by computer..Added on November 8, 2010, 6:45 am QUOTE(Super_Spammer @ Nov 7 2010, 06:00 PM) i got mine in Feb. hmm ... will send the car to Selayang for another servicing, aside for my cracked windscreen... coz called the Careline last week to recommend me to send it there coz some Korean technician wud b coming over for some clinic thingy... please report here after that...This post has been edited by forter: Nov 8 2010, 06:45 AM |

QUOTE(keagan @ Nov 21 2010, 11:10 PM) bro, how's the undercarriage and dashboard...any noise? or still like new =) my 2.0 forte 8 month old still feel like new....no any single noise in cabin area...really can feel the good build quality.. Added on November 21, 2010, 11:11 pm nice! this is a rather fair comment =p  ...maby have to wait until 2 years to justify the reliability...my previous honda city after 1 plus year old already got noise at dashboard area..and plastic cover at A pillar pop out since day 1 and cannot solve until i sold the car.. |

QUOTE(ivancychong @ Jan 19 2011, 04:42 PM) hi guys, my forte had this rattling sound at the front passenger side...somehow its either from the door panels (which i send to setapak SC to solve it but the sound come out again few weeks later ) or dashboard...any owners here with experience with this prob? Last time mine also can hear rattling sound somewhere from dashboard especially when going through uneven road..after checked by technician they found out the sound actually came from sun glasses compartment on top!just adjust my sun glasses position and until now my cabin really tip top punya silent.. |

QUOTE(turbocharged @ Feb 15 2011, 10:51 AM) come to think again, its better to get 2.0 over 1.6? dilemma now You will never regret if you get the 2.0..in terms of fc just slightly more than 1.6..you still can't save alot if you get 1.6..the 2.0 will give kepuasan which is priceless..if you compare fc to the others 2.0 cars..I can say forte 2.0 is among the best..this I'm talking about my 2.0 4speed..for 6 speed should be better.. kinda worry about FC in future, lol. or should i look at honda hybrid? but frankly speaking, 1.6 with 6speed is ok, wont complain much, wont let you wanting for more. but perhaps i should test drive 2.0 6 speed anyone know where i can test drive 2.0 6 speed?
