I am considering 408T. How many owners' 408T broke down and towed to SC before?

and no need to pay loading like civic or hilux while renewing insurance

I didn't know loading was even being practiced here.

Good point

so far no , i still 5000km mileage..

408t i s a good car with good handling, car performence, but one thing u should worry is CKD quality. so far i change front diskbrke, 4 new tyre, 4 new door rubber, wiper...and now waiting for checking for engine issue.

It's only been 3 days and I've already found 2 issues with the car. Given my never ending streak of bad luck with cars....this comes as no surprise.

1. Left windscreen washer is not functioning. Right wasn't either but I kept trying to use the washer and it eventually sprang to life after a while.
2. Some vibration noise in the front left. Only noticeable when AC is on or driving on very rough surface....like those cement parts of the highway.

I'm gonna wait for the 2.5k inspection to report these. Any advice guys?

What was the issue with the door rubber?

Change new tyre after only 5000KM. You race in Sepang?

wind noise?

it looks like either you get a car with almost no problems and some otherwise

it all depends on luck eh?

cruising at 200km/h perhaps?

There will be a road trip to Fraser Hill on this coming Saturday (01 Mar). Organized by Peugeot Club Malaysia. Variable Peugeot model will be joining. Contact ryujinx for more details.

wind sound pro may cause by the rubber aging ..so sc replace the 4 door's rubber for me

no... tyre problem , whole car will drumpy when driving. i saw the tyre manufac date is 2012...OMG... (i get car on dec2013) , that y all my car rubber is aging...

some more change front disk brake on the second day of recif car.

yes .. agree..depend on luck ..

but their QC need improment also ..

Tyre under warranty?

If ur car is brand new few weeks old. And u can proof this is due to manufacture defects. Den u can claim it.

Agreed. Their QC has much room for improvement. I'm seeing discolored rubber in some parts of my car, and it's brand new. Not sure how that's even possible. Also how could the windscreen washer pass QC when it's not even working? Just saying......both are minor issues but they should not have occurred anyway.

Perhaps they should adopt Toyota's manufacturing principle. Fix root cause not symptoms for major every issue found before starting on the next batch. It's a continuous improvement process. So if you purchase a year or 2 after release, you theoretically should no longer have any major issues.

The QC manager most likely from Proton.

Toyota also lousy. on the first day when i got my Vios. i drove it straight to SC after 2Km from sales office because a loud noise came out from the front wheels.

How should I to decide. So scare they will release a nasty lion for me

This goes back to your luck and some research. Every car out there has it's own set of issues. With manufacturing and design standards where they are today, this comes as no surprise. In the old days, manufacturers always strive for 100% quality. These days they're trying to strike a balance between quality and their profit margin.

My Vios had numerous problems in the past year, that I decided to replace it. In the 5 years I've had it, I had something to complain to the SC each time it was sent for service, ranging from rattling noises, absorbers that leaked twice, deformed plastics/rubber around the window, electrical problems that causes the steering to stop working and lock while you're driving, alternator that gave out, wheel bearing that gave out too, washer pump.....etc..etc...the list goes on, but I was the only one I knew who had these issues. The rest of my friends using Vios never had a single issue with their cars and they don't exactly drive their cars gently either.

You need to weigh out the pros and cons then decide what's best for you. The problems with mine are minor issues. I'm confident that any technician would be able to fix them, well, except for the vibration noise cos' that a tough one to troubleshoot since it doesn't happen all the time. I just drove out to lunch with my colleagues and no noises at all.

ermm... all problem i face is minor problem, but honestly 408t is worth to have for its price range..
