Hi, I just post the following at My Perodua Facebook page...

October 2012: Bought new Alza from Perodua SC at Serdang, Seri Kembangan with zero discount.

Nov 2012: Found strong petrol smell inside cabin every time after refill petrol. At the same time, found petrol leaking from the bottom of the car.

Feb 2013: Replaced a new petrol tank during second service at Perodua Serdang Service Center. During service, the person in charge promised there will be no more petrol smell inside cabin.

Feb/Mar 2013: Found strong petrol smell inside cabin again after few weeks.

28 May 2013: Went to third service at Perodua SC Serdang and requested to solve the petrol smell inside cabin problem. During receiving car, double checked with them and informed the problem is solved.

June 2013: Found strong petrol smell inside cabin right after one or two petrol refill.

Dear PERODUA, may I Know DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM TECHNICALLY? and please TELL ME HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO SEND TO SC TO SOLVE THE SAME PROBLEM?

---------------------------------------

Dear all, may I know, is it possible to complain to Consumer Tribunal for my case? Is it possible to send my complain to any newspaper and will them reply to me?

Guys, this morning when I'm on my way to office, whenever I brake, it makes harsh sounds.. So I stop for about 30mins by the roadside. Then, when I try to drive again, the sounds disappeared..

Normally, when I should change the brake pad?
And how to know it is time to change it?

Thanks!

hi all..

my Alza is about a month age.. and im going to do the 1st 1000km service this upcoming Monday..

my question is regarding the brake paddle.

is it normal if i need to put quite a strong pressure on the paddle to make a brake?

unlike my MyVi, i only need to press little on the paddle brake

but with this Alza.. i have to put some energy to press the brake

i plan to ask the service centre to adjust it.. is it OK?

Thank you.

Low-freq sound came from the rear right....? If it is, it's a common problem with dust making its way into the drum brakes...

hmm, I think the sound came from my front brake on the driver's side..
When I opened my window during driving, it sounds hissing...
The hissing became louder when I push the brake...

Is it normal or am I suddenly just noticed this?
I'm afraid if the brake pad has worn out..

now 35k already... Is it time?

as I know new brake will need some time to run in.

good P2 salesman will remind the brake issue for new car. it will be ok after some time. (for my case yes)
but for your case still need hard press after 1000KM travel?? then better get SC check for you. brake pump, brake fluid. or may be kena angin.

Owh.. Thanks for the info!

Now, I'm in Bandar baru Bangi...
Any suggestion on which shop/workshop should I go?
Or all the shop normally have this brand?

Fei, this is not true. I've shared my experience with new brake pads in the earlier post. Summary is, because it is cheaper and easier to put on the new brake pads and let them run, let the pad and the disc brake "smoothen" out each other, so 99.9% (if not 100%) of the mechanics will tell you this.

But the actual way to install (or replace) brake pads and make sure there is no sound/noise, is actually to get a sifu to come attached a machine to the disc and start smoothing the surface, and then add the pad. This is ensure there is no sound/noise after changing to new pads. But since no mechanics have such machines, and asking for a sifu to come by cost money, so nobody does it. They just let your new pads continue to rub against the disc and that's it.

My own experience is.. after changing to new brake pads, after one week still have noise. Took out and skim the disc surface, still the same. Noise for another week. Finally, he called the 3rd party sifu to come and do it on the wheel, without dismantling the disc brake, then no more noise. So he told me all the reasons why very very few ppl do it this way.

Five injured in ambulance-3 cars pile-up on N-S Expressway
20 June 2013

SEREMBAN: Five people were injured in a crash involving a Singaporean-registered ambulance and three other vehicles at Km253 of the North-South Expressway near Senawang early this morning.
The ambulance was carrying a patient from Taiping Hospital to the republic.

The patient, along with the ambulance driver and the accompanying doctor, all from Singapore, and the driver and passenger in a Toyota Altis were seriously injured.

A Singaporean nurse who was in the ambulance, and the occupants in the Perodua Alza and Nissan Almera, escaped with minor injuries.

The five who were severely injured were warded at Tuanku Jaafar Hospital here (HTJ) while the others were given outpatient treatment.

Senawang Fire and Rescue Department operation chief Ahmad Mohd Akhir said they received the alert at 4:40am.

"We managed to put out the fire engulfing the Perodua Alza and helped a victim who was flung out from the Toyota Altis," he said.

A police spokesman said they are still investigating the cause of the accident and declined to reveal their identities.

"The ambulance's driver suffered broken bones while the patient's left thigh was broken and the doctor sustained serious injury to the stomach. They are now in stable condition," he said.

State Traffic Police staff officer Assistant Superintendent Abd. Halil Hamzah urged witnesses to come forward to help with their investigation.

These must be fakes?
