QUOTE(Berserker @ Aug 22 2012, 10:14 AM) Wow, u have put a lot of complain for ur car reaching 5k. all below is compared to new Vios:-Perhaps u can share feedback after ur service and let us know if that is a true defect. This is from experience based from ur cases above. 1. Engine belt noise when cold start or after long hours driving. - haven't encounter this yet 2. Both front Door cable rattle when loud speaker or close door. - haven't encounter this yet. 3. Front window visor not sticking. - Can check and adhesive reapply by SC is u buy the G or TRD spec visor. 4. Rust at wheel hub & disc brake. - my G spec disc brake rusty only. my wheel hub still OK. 5. side mirror does not contract/retract at same speed. - me too. as long it can operate to close and open, doesn't bother me much. 6. readjust hand brake to tighter. - personal preference. i'm ok as long my car dun budge from P and parking brake applied on a hilly area. 7. in car power port is loose. move around alot when trying to access it. - mine can nudge up and down a bit. not sideways. I'm not worried as long it works with my ionizer. I think that's the freeplay that toyota have set. if too stiff, then might break the device etc. i might be wrong. If you notice a rattling sound during idle, ask them to check the exhaust part. They will re tighten the exhaust if required. Added on August 22, 2012, 10:20 amThe repair scam is back again. A forumer posted the same tactics back in V2. Repair Scam 1. Belt adjusted... Service Adviser claim "the cable will expand abit after few km run, just tighten back to standardised tension will do. (will test it later back Alor Star) 2. Nothing done... (test with the mechanic no more rattle... some how miracle???) 3. Nothing done... (SA claim that it is used as sponge, not taped/glued.. so is expected to not sticking..) 4. DID!!!!  ... (noticed a layer of paint on the place. no more rust at the hub... )5. Nothing done... (SA said is compared to new VIOS, so is expected) 6. Nothing done... (SA said the tension is in spec, tighten more will cause the handbrake to drag/not release properly) 7. Nothing done... (all is same in all Vios, expect it to wobble, SA claim it is just 1 clip at the back holding the port.) 8. fabric on the seat, they just cut the extra treads... nothing much. 9. free car wash... (they actually make it more dirtier to my leather seat  ).. have to clean it up myself.10. eVoucher used... pay Rm65++ for mineral oil&gasket (not sure about why not discount Rm20.. expected price is below Rm80) overall service satisfaction:- the goods. 1. the SA willing to check everything I complant. 2. the rust part is FIXED!! the bads. 1. free car wash is not good at all. 2. no ppl to send u to work, need call fren to pick me up to work. next round 10,000km (RM323.50 with full syn oil)... the SA said need do wheel alignment&balancing... RM50!! <-- this can reject or not? as i said i do outside?  |
