Back to Honda Malaysia's QC problems. Seems as though the stock car is not good enough. Immediately after buying, you must send for repair.

So maybe foam and superglue must be injected into the A-Pillars, sound proofing mats placed between the roof and the ceiling. I read in another forum that someone got this Civic with one side higher than the other because of bushing or whatever...

Sounds like problems from an old car.

maybe Proton has fired quite some workers in assembly, then they got a job offered in Honda and toyota. In the end, the wart is being transferred whistling.gif

If u asked me, i rather welcome Honda malaysia rather than Kah Bintang coz the honda brand was almost screw up by Kah Bintang. Take a look at the earlier Civic 7th gen batches from kah Bintang and compare it to the facelifted 7th gen civic from Honda malaysia. Even today Kah Bintang didnt do that well with Hyundai in Malaysia, or else we might enjoying the new accent rather than relying on the overpriced and ugly RX-S. doh.gif

Same quality issues happened to my mum's city. The A piller plastic came off. Sent it back to SC to fix it. Few months later, came off again! Then we told the SC mechanics we dont wanna see it coming off 3rd time. After that it was fine. Then another problem - power window. The driver's side power window failed to came up one day after it went down. Can you imagine this kind of problem happening to a Honda??! I thought my mum's city was just plain unlucky. Never thought other Honda owners face the same problem as well..

There should be less problems with CBU cars.
Try telling those with lots of money to buy local cars for life. See if they laugh in your face.

Back then it was Kah Motor, mate. Kah Bintang is a JV of sorts, not wholly owned by Kah Motor.

And FYI, the supposedly best assemblers in M'sia is Oriental Assemblers. They assemble Mercs, Hondas, Hyundais and Peugeots... That means OA used to assemble Civics, Citys and Accords... Honda Motor Co actually had a 22.5% stake in OA from 1987 to 2005...

Anyway, all CKD Honda cars from 2006 onwards should be assembled in HM's Malacca plant... It's quite a shock actually to hear of all these quality issues...

I was planning to get a City VTEC as a 2nd option if I can't get the Jazz VTEC, after knowing this, it reinforces my belief that CKD Hondas DO suck... Alright, that's it, CBU Thai Hondas for me ALL THE WAY...

friend you forgot what happened in Thailand I think.

A Thai Honda owner drove to the plant in Thailand and TORCHED his car. Car burnt to a crisp. Honda Thai gave him a new unit and an apology. Someone pls Google it.

He had similar complaints as Malaysian Honda owners.

Yeah thanks for correcting me mate notworthy.gif

On QC issues, i believe their QC wont be as bad as Proton from the last few years. My siblings do own a city and jazz and so far no major problems were heard off. wink.gif

however, it is still worst than MyVi. I feel that MyVi QC is the best in Malaysia. When I go to check out Viva, the door close with very nice sound. Then I check out MyVI. Damn nice. Start engine with the odometer light up also very nice. dun see any quality issue at all. now MyVI have rm500 discount if you're Citibank card holder. I'm not seller. so dun PM me.
