QUOTE(WEJ @ Jun 27 2011, 01:32 PM) Yes, I agree with Ur opinion bro.The problem is the fitting & the installation of the dashboard & engine of the 6speed at NAM factory at Gurun, kedah.What happen to the QC at NAM, why previous Forte 4 speed don't have this new problem.My forte 4 speed only have this problem above-my relative also have 4spd-no sound(only engine noise-tyre noise). 1. Horn = after mine changed to twin siput hella horn, it also hardly work for both sides to sound...mostly single side only...but wif ori kitty horn, works very gd....1.Horn not working when rain(rectify-claim warranty for new one) 2.Kumho tyre (1 only) bloating(kembung)-(banyak langgar lubang) 3.Steering go to the left (rectify at SC selayang) 4.Headlamp berkabus (when rain). 5.Start/Stop button - not function once, till today ok. The owner of kiafortesucks.com said its KIA forte (internationally) defect because he cannot see any picture of dashboard installation at Forte(he already see that picture i attached).This will bad for Forte reputation at Malaysia man.NazaKia should do something(rely fast) if their want to make success of Forte in Malaysia.I hope KIA Motor recognize this problem & warn the NAZA. 2. kumho tyres also depend on outside temperature, road temperature, internal air temperature, way u drive, rim damage or not, pot holes.....can't blame tyres 1... 3. steering go to left = is not a problem, cause in korea, continental, america, australia countries as well as vietnam, all are left hand drive....so steer to the left isn't a problem...even my uncle's BMW 525i eagle eye oso got this problem...same goes wif my grandpa's C230 merc 4. Headlamp berkabus is due to outside temperature....nowadays if hot, will b very hot...if cold will b very cold....my old SEG ori lamp, my dad's G.Livina H.lamp, my uncle's BMW 525i oso had this problem...juz ignore it... 5. start/stop button : depends on how hard u press the brake pedal..if touch sure cnt la.....sometimes oso causes by brake sensor problem... and about QC of forte, whether 6 spd or 4 spd...are the same...both uses fully imported material, so problem is not about the material/items (chassis, dashboard, seats, etc.)....the only problem here, is the factory installation, which got nothing 2 do with QC, is juz assemble not good...y 4 spd not much sound, yet 6 spd so much sound?? easy...4 spd 1st batch is fully CBU which is those chassis number with 'K' at the front, while 2nd batch like mine, is consider CKD, but not fully...full car imported, with the door in different place...so, juz assemble doors only, no big issues.....BUT, the FL version is FULLY CKD, which is fully assemble here...that makes all the difference....problem will b the same as proton cars...sounds here n there and i believe if Proton cars assemble in other countries, they too will not or rarely have rattling and squeaky sounds.... Added on June 27, 2011, 1:40 pm QUOTE(WEJ @ Jun 27 2011, 02:33 PM) No lah i rather go for 4spd new or 2nd hand, buy new GB and ECU swap....walah!! 6 spd forte, while replace the rear view mirror with the FL version, added with the ori reverse camera fixing at the back...walah!! reverse camera display at rear view mirror, then added paddle shift(heard can be installed) and proper wiring...walah!! paddle shift...4spd forte bcom new forte...This post has been edited by XionCity: Jun 27 2011, 01:40 PM |

Export model having better QC and installations.... Our local Proton's power window motor always fails but export models will fail, after 8 years..... |

whatever your car is... how good your car quality is.... please be careful on the road...
yesterday i went back hometown kulim from JB... saw many accidents... i count up, almost 20 vehicles involved in separate accidents... too sad... hopefully no death involved and... also i notice a number of cars breakdown along the way and one of the cars really catch my eye... not remember the exact model, but it is BMW 3XX with plate # PJY XXX... just a month or two older than my car... white smoke came out from engine compartment.. so i told myself... no car is perfect, even glamorous BMW car also can breakdown if you're not lucky enough... lesson i learn yesterday: be glad if your car still working fine as long as no major issue... regardless your car "installed" with minor nyek nyek sound package, or famous power window problem... as long u can enjoy your ride, it is more than ok for me |
