Yea. I concur to the 3 issues you highlighted. I especially hate the water dripping into the boot part. I got another issue actually, not sure if its the car design or the tint. During daytime when the sun is shining brightly, the dashboard is reflected onto my windscreen. Sometimes this can cause my vision to be obstructed while driving. Wonder does anyone face this?
*
i dont have the issue you mentioned...

There is another issue with the K5. This happened with the Forte and now some k5's are facing this as well. Misalligned steering wheels and car pulling to the left or right. I did my allignment 3 times but the problem still persists. Its not a big problem just that you can feel a slight pull. Its more noticeable when u travel above 130kmph. Next week there is a Korean team of engineers coming down to inspect a few cars. Mine is on the list for inspection.
*
yes...i think mines also have a bit of this issue.....awaiting your feedback... smile.gif

Just send an email to Naza Customer Service at cmd@naza.com.my. You need to highlight problems as they come up so that the historicial record is there. Verbal communication at service centres wont be recorded.

The delay is normal. Mine was delayed 2 working days after the promised date. Btw I found 2 new things about the car (at least new to me). As you approach the car with the key in your pocket, the cabin lights up. The other thing is the chassis number is on the lower left hand corner of your windscreen -neat. Wonder what other cars do that.
*
yes, that is call Welcome Light function. You can off it in your car setting menu, you can check the Manual.

The Chassis number also have for the Forte.... biggrin.gif

So u pumped in 64L with 2 bars remaining rite? Did i fill until almost overflowing? So surely if almost empty, your max capacity will be much more than 70L.

ohh....i was with 1 last bar remaining, but not blinking.... but i just stop when the pump stop itself for the first click smile.gif

Hey guys, I just realized that our K5 door panel has a red color light which is just under the speaker ( the lights above the map/bottle holders ) BUT it doesn't light up each time when I open the door or close it, anyone know is the light supposed to light up or not supposed to ?  hmm.gif
*
yes, it always has this light on, not only open the door, even the door is closed, check the brochure

Mine is NU engine
after the car already moving, it will automatically lock the door.
then i press the door lock button at the driver
but my wife still able to open the door at the passenger side

this standard function, same as my previous Forte, not faulty...you can read the manual..... only the front passenger seat can open the door without unlocking the door....
