2014 Vios G spec. Took delivery in January 2014 from Toyota Showroom in Bayan Baru, Penang. Bloody alarm has been going off for no reason ever since i took the car home. Sent the car to service center in Bayan Baru and also Jelutong main center altogether 3 times!!!! Even left the car for a few days at the service center to check and rectify! Problem not solved. Brand new car and I can't even drive to the mall as i am not sure when the alarm will go off! Feel totally ripped off with extremely poor assistance from TOYOTA!!! Car now strictly for office or home only as i don't have to lock the car door hence no alarm!!!!!! Jelutong service center Tan is of NO help!!! "I will contact the technician" is all that he can do... guess its not his fault too!!!!! Bloody TOYOTA!!!!! Only know how to take money!!!! Anyone know what can i do???
*
is it because when you close the door and press lock, it detect as not close properly, hence alarm ring?

i had that problem before this, then it just mysteriously go away.

Do you personnally use huper optik for your ride.?

i'm using rhinepro, good enough for me, workmanship was extremely poor, no time to claim warranty yet.

but overall, poor workmanship doesn't take away the fact that rhinepro xd5 is good.

toyota sc didn't even called me back regarding my roof insulation issue. doh.gif

that day my mom thought got accident nearby when a random drop of water hit the roof loudly. sleep.gif

anyway not sure if i shared this, but that day when i did my 5k service, i felt that my handbrake was extremely tight, so when toyota called me and ask how's everything after the service, i asked about my handbrake.

he then said that "oh we tighten it because previously it was too high, it's dangerous when it's too high".

ok fine by me, but why didn't they tighten it during the first service? doh.gif

no eye see.

add the anti roll bar / stabiliser bar from ultra racing, about RM600 for front and rear, is very useful for cornering and over 120 km/h it wont float

cry.gif rm600 on vios J?

tak sampai hati. shakehead.gif

if just install front or rear, ok ah?

it cost RM120 i think.

ok, a positive update.

send my car to subang SC for roof insulation at 8am, received a call at 12.30pm saying it's done.

immediately tested with heavy rain, so far so good, less noisy now.

Hey glad to hear you guys getting your roof complaint attended to, is there any improvement?

Sadly in my case here in Miri, I was told they need to speak to UMW KL first, and their technicians doing insulation need to be trained (yes, training!) beforehand.  With all these crap excuses tai chi here and there, I have yet to get my roof insulated, and I've been waiting for almost a month already.  Same excuses for the lower arm spare part, I got to wait.

well, at least they are "training" the technicians la.
