My car alignment has to be fixed. When my car stops and with engine running, some sound will come out de wo. Not sure these can be fixed.  sad.gif

Another thing is can I make appointment with the SC? Probably go elsewhere. Setapak SC has too many bad comments.

Can make appointment

Just to enquire whether your car meter 30KM & 50KM no light . Is this the all the same ?
The car's stock tyre is really noisy like lorry .

Dump up for the details info. Very helpful.
By the way how you feel the aircond after the wrap ? No more hot air when you off the aircon and switch to outside air (outside air are cool, but the air enter into the cabin is hot currently) before wrap ?

Just curious, why many Fortezen like to mod their stock car, is it will be more expensive to do that ?
The car is worth for money, if mod here & there, the car will consider expensive. then straight away buy more expensive car. Any comment ??

Forced induction is almost similar to displacement, only on the surface. Essentially, displacement is still the answer to a sustained top speed.
It all depends on what an individual wants out of his/her ride smile.gif
Those are Air-Cond ducts if I correctly assume that you are referring to them. smile.gif

Strange noise coming from your engine?
To be frank all forte facing the noisy sound problem but why the Naza or Kia HQ do not do anything ?
Still got so many buyers ? Really sick of the sound and need to spend some money to do this and that to get away the noise. The car still get the defect although it is fund to drive and the noise will kill us in long run. The NV wil lbe droping if this is not settle.
Can we as consumers jointly write in to request Naza M'sai or Kia Korea to look into this and settle for us .
I think with all together we have the right ?? This is my just comment .TQ

Not all Forte have the issue you referring to....possibility noise that you mentioned either from bearing or valve tappet.
Current Forte going to be phase out soon after in the market for more than 3 years (Let's face the fact)...thats why they are replacing it with K3.

Korean mindset is like that...same work for Samsung...else u won't see tonnes of TV and phone model.....

Dear Bro
All fortes facing road nose issues. If the Korea midsets is like what you said, the this is part of the reason the RV of Kia cars. We cannot compare samsung products with Kia Forte . We can change samsung products every year but we cannot affort to change our Forte to new K3, K5 etcs

if we accept the Forte is like that (like Malaysia said proton car is like that ) ,then we better don't buy Korean car .
After reading your sentenace, I am start to worry my 3 months old forte , the road noise is terrible .....so noisy ......

We need to bring out our right .
Sorry If I offend any body ...

so bros... should we start this petition, which I think we could make use of "www.petitiononline.com"..?
common problems:
1. car pull left
2. dashboard rattling noise
3. headlight water condensation
4.Air Cond Hot air when using outside air
4.Annoying road noise into the cabin.

i once lodge a complain to the SC in sg. petani on rattling noise and they verified, and its deteriorating... so the person in charge said they will revert this complaint to Naza Kia and after awaiting for so long without any respond from them, i followed up with them again and now they replied the technical people from Naza (Kia) need to accumulate all the problematic vehicles before coming for resolution... what a lame excuse!! i was in rush that time and did not want to argue with them.. furthermore i'm working abroad now and wait until i get back in the coming months, i will taruh them kao kao..  vmad.gif  mad.gif

The worst are the road noise into the cabin. My friend sit into my car asked me why so noisy ? I said the tyre noise, then he said , why insulation so poor , although the car look valuable, but cannot tahan . If spend money to change the tyre, then it is a waste ..

If your tire still very new just collect the car, you may get RM200 trade in for each tyre.

The good new tyre range bettween RM450-550.

if you want to change tyre without trade in. Prepare Rm1800 to RM2220 for 4 tyres.

You also can change 2 by 2.
*
That's meant I have to pay extra of about (RM1800 - RM800 ) = RM1,000.00 for the new good tyres.

What the shop do with our stock tyres knowing that is is too noisy , still got people want to buy ? although it may be cheaper compare to original cost.

I am not offenting people driving very fast, but make sure do not trouble others . I just wonder if something happen ,others road users will suffer as well. Many crazy drivers like to show off by driving so fast at federal highway z in here z in there. They like to cut in our lane as they like. They really do not know how to respect others. These all people should ban from driving ....

Can everyone can share the weight of the stock rim for 17 " & 16 "
Instead of changing our 17" stock rim to 16" of other brands , what about the 16" stock rim ? I think this is cheaper for those having budget issue.

Can share the performance differences of stock rim 17 " & 16 " . TQ

Dear Bro,
I noticed the above mentioned include GAS. Is it recomend to pump in GAS or normal air like we can pump our tyre in petrol station. Can we pump in our tyre mixed with GAS & the normal air ? If not in case of emergency , how ? Please remember we have to pay to tyre shop if we need to fill up GAS into our tyres. Please advise. TQ
