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 not working when rain(rectify-claim warranty for new one)
2.Kumho tyre (1 only) bloating(kembung)-(banyak langgar lubang) doh.gif(i also banyak langgar bump)
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. mad.gif

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....
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....

He.he biggrin.gif .Don't speak like that la bro( about the modification, I also interested).We are the brothers&sister Of Forte(Forte Clan) man, no matter 4 speed or 6 speed.If 1 of us have problem & defect, we should give our hand to help & rectify the problem. biggrin.gif if we could.No matter how, Naza must do something about the problem etc, or else Forte in Malaysia is Doom, man. vmad.gif

This I have to disagree with you.... Export model having better QC and installations.... Our local Proton's power window motor always fails but export models will fail, after 8 years.....

I'm driving a 2003 Wira that should be exported to Middle East while my friend are driving a 2003 Wira that meant for local market. For this 8 years, I only change a power window motor lately while my friend has been changing for 5 motors.....

My Wira don't have much rattling sound compare to my friend's..... QC of the installations does matters....

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 bye.gif

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 wink.gif
