Hi guys,

1) When & Where you bought it: PENANG

2) Price (since Spectra went thru some price changed)  16500

2) Colour of Your Spectra:  Metallic Black

3) Any Major Problem So Far: I have some multiple issues.

A.   ABS light will turn ON for 30min then Off again then it will not turn on unless i turn off the engine. One time I also experience the ABS and the hand break light up! while driving i double check hand break is not engage then my headlight turns off also! After few seconds the ABS and hand break light went off then my headlight went back.

B.   The "D" drive will do the same thing ON sometimes and OFF sometimes in the dashboard. All the lights for the gearbox like Park-Reverse-2-1 no issue. I had replaced the sensor where the mechanical thingy is connected when you move the Transmission. It worked for 3 months and now I have it again.

C. When I reverse the sensor doesn't work IF my car aircon is ON and radio. It's like it's lacking of power from the alternator but when a mechanic check he said no problem with the alternator since it's charging.

FYI: battery has been replaced already with a new one.

4) Picture of Your Spectra: Next time I send.

I hope I'm not the only one having this kind of issue. When I bring it to a shop they don't diagnose very good. They just advice replace this replace that....  shakehead.gif  shocking.gif  icon_question.gif

I want to make sure that the part need to replace it the correct part. Any inputs?

A. do u have any problem when braking? hows the brake fluid level? try changing the brake fluid and do the flushing see whether it can solve your problem. try also doing diagnostic check..

B. D light is not illuminated might also be caused by a burning bulb..since most of the time the gear lever is at D position while driving..so the D bulb will burn 1st compared to other bulbs..try changing the D bulb..

C. No idea..
