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.

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.

   

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.

Hi Eugene Ong
I think one or more sensors feeding into the ECU are not functioning. IMO your engine failure is due to too rich a mixture. Density of air decreases with altitude. This means as you climb higher the air gets thinner. ECU sensing this will correct the amount of fuel accordingly. If the fuel injected into the cylinders is not reduced according to density of air, the result is too rich a mixture to support combustion. The engine just dies.

Just my 2 cent

Lai lai,  any new potential buyer? 

I went up genting more than 10 times (within 8 months), the last time was 5 adults in my car (including me), can speed all the way up to the top, no problem!

So.. last Sunday I was driving. As per normal... then suddenly a msg appears on the radio display "battery charging issue or faulty lining" or something like that. I called up pug care line.  They said no worries. I can still drive the car. Bring in for check up at service centre.

5 mins later, all hell brakes loose. Esp sensor off. Power steering failure.  Radio goes off and had to stop my car. Towed it to glenmarie as I didnt want to take risk and covered by insurance.

Monday morning I call up GM and find out whats the issue. They tell me its the battery. I tell them fine. Change the battery. This is despite the battery being changed just last September for battery problem. They tell me no issues otherwise, and my car will be ready in the evening by 5. So I make plans with my colleague to drop me there and bring back the car. I told him to call me back when the car is done. 2pm no call. 4 pm. No call. I call back at 430pm. He tells me they ve not started on my car. I sounded the fella over the phone... but had to accept because nothing can be done.

Today again I had to call up and find out. Called at 10am. He said all settled already they are going to wash the car. Can collect in the afternoon. So my colleague dropped me off there. They tell me the car is ready. I ask him why is the battery so expensive.  540 incl labour charge. He said its expensive as it s a European battery. Its delco not delkor. Again,  I layan his story and just pay. I go to my car, open my booth. I see the new battery box there. Delkor. The sales fella doesnt know his own stuff. I point it out to him, he shows me the price listing. Again I accept. Not much of a difference to me...

Here is where shit hits the fan... I drive out of the service centre, not 20 metres down the road, the same bloody warning sign comes on. I bring it back in, And get them to check. The technician comes, plugs in a computer and tells me the turbo cooler gasket or something is out, and needs to be changed;  under warranty. Then they need to check all the other systems.

Accepting this again, I tell them I have to go back to klang. I ask for a shuttle to klang (pushing my luck) they tell me the shuttle car met with accident and the courtesy car is with another client. Had to pay for my own taxi to subang komuter station.

Tomorrow have to call and find out more... fml...
