Hahaha..as what u've said..i ended up buying original Honda Stream's 2.0 emblem last time back on 2010...

Maybe just an isolated case..got manufacturing defects on the wiper rubber i believe. My original wiper (came with the car) still wiping at its best for 3 years+ already..CBU part perhaps..hehe

Have not came across this kind of problem in my 3 years+ in this thread. I believe it's an isolated case for a standard car (no additional accessories that interfere with the original wiring). Please send your car to SC bro for rectification.

Yupp..lighter rim helps...

This is for my Forte 2.0 (4 speed)..not much different from the 6 speeder in term of rpm right?

I believe the ESC or specifically the Traction Control did its job there to save the car (& u for sure). When the car lift up (front lift), the front tires is on the air & rotate freely. When the ESC/TC sensors detects that the tires is rotating freely out of grip, the ECU rev down the engine (reducing engine torque) & turn off the cruise control to avoid mishap. This might also happen when u suddenly accelerate hard on a slippery or sandy road (tire will slip & out of grip due to extra torque). Could u imagine this..if let say your car lifted in the air & the car did not turn off the cruise control..due to panic or common instinct, u then might turn the steering wheel in the air resulting sudden change of direction during landing (because the cruise control is still on & front tires is rotating fast)..in this case, the car might roll over with ease. So thank God that the ESC/TC works perfectly during that bump incident

I have personally experience this before but not due to road bump..but due to slippery road during raining (not using the cruise control but because of sudden acceleration)

Is it happen frequently?

I did my first aircond service during 70k km scheduled service..nothing wrong with my aircond though. Just a preventive maintenance...

Yupp..it's VG shark fin antenna from Canada. Cost me RM270 or RM280 that time if i'm not mistaken including paint & shipping.

Ask the seller the chassis number. If the chassis number starting from 'K', it's obviously a CBU unit. If number starting from 'P' instead, it's a CKD unit. Else, u might ask a copy of car registration card (geran)..if it's a CBU unit, got statement in geran saying this "KENDERAAN IMPORT BARU", else for CKD unit got this statement "PEMASANGAN TEMPATAN"

I bought thru group buy before..cant remember whether need to pay for tax or not..sorry

Not to say CBU is better..coz buying car is somehow also depend on your luck. Anyway my car serviced me very well without any 'sick'

Ya..the earliest batch of Forte doesnt come with 5 years warranty unless the owner opt for it (with extra cost)

Absolutely correct
