QUOTE(Jasonlee1603 @ Apr 16 2019, 02:51 PM) 4 (a) You only turn it off when your car is stationary and you're trying to get out from a sandy/slippery place. If not, just leave it on all the time. This is totally wrong. You need to leave it on when you stuck in sand or slippery surface. The TRC system will apply brake to the over-spin wheel and provide grip to the other wheel. Best choice just leave it on all the time. |

QUOTE(jettho @ Apr 16 2019, 06:04 PM) I had this problem as well. SC said that this is due to control module spoilt and they changed it for me FOC as it is still under warranty. Now all is well Yup faulty control module that dimming the light. I just wish it has a switch for it. |

QUOTE(Jasonlee1603 @ Apr 17 2019, 02:59 PM) Experienced it myself with my old car; Bezza Advance. Drove my car into Port Dickson beachside to help pull my friend's motorboat up to the shore, end up my car stuck at the sand as the TRC light keeps blinking in an attempt to correct the problem, preventing wheelspin. End up I turn it off and managed to get my car off the sand along with my friend's boat too, albeit with lots of sand digging wheelspin. Yes, when it get activated, the light will blink indicating over-spin wheel. Perhaps it's an isolated situation, but I'm just sharing my encounters.  So may be other people can try by off or let it on and see which mode can solve the problem. Jasonlee, good info. Thanks for sharing. |

QUOTE(sonicmaster @ Apr 17 2019, 08:32 PM) Honda civic has worst steering rack issue, more expensive and yet so many ppl bought it For me, i vouch for honda as the brand provides more functions in their car. It is already expected, no car is perfect.Same class, Altis vs Civic, I choose civic for the look and functions. |

QUOTE(sonicmaster @ Apr 17 2019, 10:47 PM) Are you sure you will go for a car with clear issue since you already cant accept small issue of vios? yes, then you will find me in civic thread..  I came to an agreement that no car is perfect. All depends how tolerate are you with the problems. My other foreign cars also got problem. But it solvable by their respective SC, so no issue raised. Unlike Toyota with Vios specifically, still unsolvable. Since I don't owned Honda, no experience yet. Maybe one day or maybe not at all since I already got my first Japanese car. |
