I'm not a Forte owner yet, but i could try to provide some input to your query.
1) First, are you using your car on a daily basis?
2) When did you check the disc brakes of your vehicle? Was it early in the morning or immediately after having driven it?
3) If you checked immediately after having driven the car and it still is/appear to be rusty, it could be due to your brake pads OR in some cases, a leaky brake piston which leaks brake fluid onto the disc.
4) If you checked them after NOT having driven the car for a long period (plus if you park in the open air overnight), then it is normal. It's just water mark whereby water vapours mixes with the brake compound producing the yellowish stuff.
Hope this helps smile.gif

You're right. I didn't drive for >24hrs and the moisture plus sun light did catalyse the corrosion.
Spot check again after travelling and the tarnish faded completely.

Hi all

After use for 6 months, my conclusion on the rattling noise of Forte is inevitible and no solution.

I believe the dashboard material is not weather proof and it will expand or contract with weather. The soundproof engineering is poor and the fiction of the gap that causes rattling noise. I could hear the noise coming from clock area, side door, rear panel etc.

So we have to bared with the nagging forte for years to come. Or just turn on the music louder to mask out those noise.

My aircon has problem before, they open up the bottom blower and left one screw outside don't from where. No dare to leave the SC to do this again.

My temporary solution is to bang the area when it start making noise rclxub.gif

I will go puchong to try my luck. Still got few pending issue with my doors.
