dares Brb ...lipot pulis dulu

apa kena-mengena ngan hang? u know nothing about Fiesta?

Non-owners are welcomed to post here, this is a public forum after all. But when they posts wrong information here based on hearsay, especially being non-owners, and assert that it is the truth, then I will not hesitate to call them out.

In what fantasyland would a carmaker not stock spare parts? limited stocks maybe, but not stock at all? And since when any Ford car being hold by a service center for 2 weeks was ever considered normal?

I myself post in many car club threads if I feel I can contribute, but always with researched facts or if such facts cannot be verified, I would be sure to admit so.

My own car I also dunno liao how to know about fiesta la .
Only know how to step on accelerator pedal and then crash into curb /walls/ditch .

You live in a dream world. In the Ford Focus car club there are plenty of posts from owners who have to wait for parts. Here is an example - Post #1423



You can continue to deny that SDAC has a spare parts problem but it doesn't change the reality.

So limited spare parts = no spare parts now? Ford SC kept his car for 2 weeks ka? Remember you said "SDAC does not stock spare parts" and "2 weeks is not abnormal"?

Powershift clutchpack shortage is a problem in every country that sells the Focus and Fiesta, it's not a strictly SDAC issue. Of course you didn't know, why would you?

Again, stop commenting on stuffs you know nothing about.

Here is a post from paul.tan



I can't link to it but go to his website and search for Ford. It's the 2nd comment in the story "Ford delivers best-ever Q1 performance in Malaysia"

I see you like to take an exception and cite it as the norm.

I'd cite counter examples, but I'd hate to waste your time googling another example.

Enjoy your Mazda3.

LOL.

If car need to leave more than 2 weekds at SDAC, it is not a spare part issues but it is due to too many cars need to be fixed.

*From a guy who drive fiesta and hit another car and 2 weeks later karma hit his fiesta from back. *

Btw went to SDAC PJ and they suggest me to sent my car to jalan ipoh cos too many car in waiting list. If i insist, i need to wait for 2 months. They even showed me waiting list in the system.

Went to jalan ipoh; 2 weeks only.

David Chan told me the same thing when I sent my car for collision repair at SDAC PJ. I insist to put my car at PJ despite his warnings it will take 2 months.

Guess what, all done in less than 2 weeks.

I wonder where SDAC find the spare parts for me since they dont stock them

Btw, did you get a new bumper?

Bila u hantar? Haha.
I went there last monday. Got almost 30 cars mahu claim insurance. David sudah pening kepala. Haha. Last time claim new front bumper with david also; took long but it is due to insurance approval lambat. Minus approval within 2 weeks too. But this time david cannot guarantee woo. Backlog byk.

Straight away go to jalan ipoh as recommended by david. I request new bumper. They said will give new bumper. Paling cpt this monday can finish. Not sure lah. The most 2 weeks.

Last year....forgot which month though.

Does he recognize you? haha if he does he must be thinking ape ni baru langgar depan now langgar belakang pulak

Of cos he kenal me.
He said "Againnnnn???"

saw in Mudah where 2014 ford fiesta can get almost 20k rebate.

Good deal? How's the reliability of this car?

Ecoboost got such rebate ?

I'm saying this AGAIN because folk like you will only listen to Facebook and Paulinechan, which I'm most certain that it's clogged by viral news regardless the truth.

Yes it is true that SDAC underperformed.

Yes it is true that someone waited for 2 months for something

Yes it is true that there is some issues regarding Ford's line-up in Malaysia.

BUT, where the truth and where should we draw the line?

IT IS ALSO TRUE that SDAC offers 3yr/60,000km free service for both parts and labours, including wear and tear parts, like rotor, brake pad, battery and even wiper.

IT IS ALSO TRUE that Fiesta is among the best hatch in the world in term of car handling and the fun level of driving it.

IT IS ALSO TRUE that Ford had extended the warranty coverage for the problematic gearbox, and offer 5yr/100,000km warranty for recently sold vehilce.

Again, things that is true, is also the truth? Not necessarily.

Imagine everyone that buy toto, that eventual failed to win anything to get a 5 sec air time on TV, that will be like hundreds of hour worth of sad faces. The same story goes here, everyday we heard people screaming on facebook and paulinechan regarding their vehicle failed to do this, the sc didn't do that so on and so forth.

BUT, where's the happy customers goes? Just because consumer are bit**** where they pay peanut for a car, expects it to fly and also do the house chores, doesn't mean that the car should take the blame.

FYI, Ford sold 14k unit of vehicle in 2014 alone, and by Q1 2015, Ford sold another 5k of vehicle. Yea, there maybe hundreds of people ranting their car in Facebook, and two dozen of more car waiting in the SC for parts, but that's is still like under 3%?

GET OVER IT.

Depends on how bad your accident is, Mine took 2 months plus close to 3 months for accident repairs.

It's a good deal I suppose.

Reliability is also good, changed a few parts in warranty period.. Now close to 100k KM. Got people sampai 200k++ KM still running like new.

I'm not disagreeing SDAC can be very slow, my point is to show that there are also cases when SDAC got things done quickly, and they do stock spare parts.

What happened to your car?

I am an owner of a Fiesta. Everyone knows it a fun car and I am having fun with it. but yes there's a but. I have been waiting 2 months for my clutchpack and whenever I call up I ....bos tak sampai lagi...

Word is, many clutchpack claims for the past few months has been delayed due to new clutch model coming in.

The same goes for Focus.

This is my story: -

first time change clutch pack - 3 days

latest issues that i have - 1 day

yeah i agree it depends on luck as well
