Haihh... i was rejected by Honda Malaysia for HONDA CITY 2017 GEARBOX Problem and they want to charge me RM20,000 to change a new gearbox. Reason because of poor attendance of service. For your information, my car is only 36k mileage! For example, if you are late for one term 1 year back, they still has the reason to reject you if you found out there is problem to your Honda. 5 YEARS WARRANTY is a fake gimmick? Any advice to fix this issue? i really know nothing about car. i thought i bought a low maintenance car, who knows it is not. They will call you for service for the first 2 years and made you thought to depends on the service term. they have no compassion about the MCO and want user to bear the cost at this bad times. Should i sell my underwear to pay for this stupid HONDA GEARBOX. From Helpess soul. #hondamalaysia #5yearswarranty

Any kind soul?

who ask you to skip maintenance?

no money to maintain dont buy the car la

Thats has always been the term and condition.

If you wanna have warranty coverage you have to service your car according to schedule.

And no modifications to your car.

even if something is low maintenance, its still always good to at least be on schedule/on time with the service attendance. a car has thousands of individual parts and bolts and any one of them can fail at any time, so do not mistaken "low maintenance" for " no maintenance"

Good luck boss

Write to Honda Jepun CEO to voice out your predicament

received LOD belum?

did you save RM20k by skipping the maintenance?

Honda：
希望你以后 不会后悔没选择我
也相信你有 更好的生活

To keep the warranty one of the T&C is to service according to schedule. Late a month or two or within 2,000km mileage is fine. During MCO Honda did issue notice that they will honour if ur service interval falls in MCO.

I guess u service it outside or only service according to the mileage. Honda terms is 6 months OR 10,000km. It is "OR".

to be fair to honda, all car makers hold by that rule not only honda. your warranty claim is voided because of your negligence... Only way out now is to repair them outside for maybe half the price

Want me call you a bondulance?

Servis kereta taknak, claim warranty nak pulakk

wow ...create a dupe for this topic err?

Wtf so low quality honda. Already got faulty gearbox despite less than 5 years. Haha. Mine not service for 1 year also didn’t encounter this kinda problem.

If Honda and the Service dealer can reject your claims, that means that have enough proof that you didn't follow the required service intervals to be performed at the service centers. The terms and conditions have been clearly stated on the warranty and service booklet.

It's your mistake that you failed to send the car back for routine maintenance. So you have the bear the consequences now.

If you send it to outside workshops, it would only cost you a fraction of what it would cost you to get your gearbox replaced at the service centre.

Here Malaysia dealer is king

US with their freedom
You can service on your own as long as you keep the receipt when claiming warranty


Like you advice
TS try go kedai potong and see got compatible gearbox

tai sei
sei sohai
serves you right
ayam driving 2014 city.....no major issues pun

What is LOD?

You stupid or what. Follow your schedule service la.

Whichever comes first, MILEAGE or SERVICE DUE DATE.

If no money to maintain car, go ride bicycle la

Gearbox prob? Actually is how? Mind sharing?

Ya man, YOU ARE RIGHT! i really should not buy CAR, i should take RAPIDKL, RAPID TRAIN!

Letter of demand from lawyer

Cannot simply badmouth slander company

Have to see how the fella drive the car then only know why the gearbox can fail so quickly.

Wow, Honda CVT gear box really so expensive.

Can buy one biji 250cc motor brand new already wew

i always late by a month for my vios, boleh ja claim warranty.
but my claim nothing major la.

Get a halfcut

Repair outside jer less than rm6k .....or halfcut japan even cheaper.nak kecoh APA...you know you breach the warranty contract sumore bising Banyak Banyak why kena reject.

1. 3 years old car gearbox already kong?????
2. this is what happen when u want to save money by service outside/skip service completely

3. if u want the 5 years warranty, u have to service at honda SC for 5 years...accordingly

Wow 36k only gearbox spoil?

it's true on the cost
but this is only a 3 years old GB
TS already made the mistake of letting outside workshop touching it or i don't know if he even service at all

don't make the same mistake and let outside workshop touch his gearbox again

later wanna resell big problem

IHonda City's gearbox oil change according to mileage or those for lifetime ?

kanina my city, the reverse sensor rosak till i gave up

now buy from shopee change myself also need rm110 per biji

if no change keep beep like no tomorrow

Relax, honda resale value masih kuat. Only peasants high class konon drive honda complain.

Biar miskin, asalkan gaya slogan

izzit got flush gear oil b4?

Baoteng > honda

20k, just get a k20a and plonk in la. problem solved

there are t&c to comply if u want the 5 years warranty bro

if u let outside workshop touch your car/gearbox, i don't even wanna honour that warranty already but i don't know what the workshop did to the gearbox
the cost that TS has to bear for wanting to save money and let outside workshop touching it

honda city is using CVT
god know that outside workshop go fill it with ATF like the previous case
for cars using CVT, it's best to use the manufacturer's oil or go back SC service(do not use compatible oil)

abnormal noise when driving? care to explain what kinda noise?

come laff at soh chai want kpkb azurues

Kesian. When I bought my Proton I purposely void the warranty and DIY everything. 8 years later still perfect, never needed warranty at all. Saved so much money too.

That's what happens when you buy a car for its looks and stupid FC. A Vios is way better than city.

2014 city uses torque converter gearbox, these gearboxes even if passed the service mileage won't have much issues, but the new city uses CVT gearboxes which need strict service care. And CVT gearboxes cost a bomb, like that rm20k, considered a little bit cheap compared to last time's 2007 honda city rm23k.

Cari gearbox halfcut

Tu lah nak pakai honda

The car is out of manufacturer warranty coverage already anyway. Even if anything happens now, Honda will not be responsible.

That's the whole root of the problem. "Letting third party workshops service your car". I have been in this line for so long and I have seen so many errors made by so called "foremans" or "mechanics". For example, putting in ATF into CVT gearboxes. Another one would be, there are some special techniques and procedures to replace CVT fluid compared to normal ATF. Yet many mechanics fail to observe this. I have come across mechanics who would tell me that they measure how much fluids come out and then how much should be going in. I can only laugh at such statements.

So yeah, even if you want to send your car to third party workshops, make sure you know the mechanics there really know their stuff. When in doubt, always request to use back the original engine oil and transmission oil and parts. You could never go wrong with that.

sometimes the service advisor tipu one, me also kena, say if use full syn oil can be 6 months/10000km. I needed that because I travel like 4000km a month and I don't have much free time even on weekends to service. When I went to service at authorized service centre nearer to my place, the service advisor say why skipped one service/passed the mileage by a lot, you can have hard time claiming warranty on the engine

luckily it is more of bulletproof engine and in other market was to be serviced at 6 months/10000km, no issues at all after 4 years now.

These warranty claim is like claiming from insurance agent, they do their best to avoid giving you the claim.

LOD inkambing TS, RIP

Wehhh ini salah pakai honda ok

Master race is use sunkist bmw

HAHAHA LOW MAINTENANCE CAR

Find halfcut or compatible gearbox. Prepare RM3k minimum. There are also cheaper option RM1k++

Auto transmission is horrifying

my 2014 city is a CVT gearbox

6 months or 10,000 km whichever comes first...
If you travel 4,000 km/month then you need service your car every 2.5 months as it already reached 10,000 km.

Really...? Though there is truth is what you are trying to say, but try applying it in this part of the world.

the moment u let outside workshop touch your car, the warranty is off already
nobody is gonna spend time investigating it while others don't have such issue

if your service record is according and your GB suffer premature failure, any brand would gladly change it for u


this is where your receipt can be used as proof
proving that u used full syn oil

so tipu also need both side, it can't be one side unless you lose your receipt

CVT should last a very long time, if it's being service religiously.

My 8 years old Jazz Hybrid CVT still runs flawlesly, 110k km and counting. Service on time / mileage due. Never miss. Use right CVT oil.

TS want to play cheap, ends up have to fork RM20k. Better buy half cut gearbox.

problem is umw malaysia, commercial vehicle must be 3 months / 5000km only. Cannot 6 months / 10000km even though it is 10000km/12000km in other markets

Janji gaya

You mean the moment you send your car to outside service, the warranty is voided ?
Is this true ?

If you can afford honda, that means you can afford maintain the car.

Want to be cheapskate, go use Proton or Perodua.

Nothing to be ashamed using local brands

TS not telling the full story here.

Need to know:

1. Ts late service past how many kms than the required every interval of 10,000km?

2. service at honda service centre or outside? Bcoz outside bengkel change oil every 5k km for mineral oil, 7k for semi not sure how much for fully synthetic. Misinformation by the worksyop will damage ur car.

3. Honda car brand is femes/hearsay among normal ppl for being a bit ‘sensitive’. You must service at their service centre and use their recommended oil/filter/original parts. You go service outside i always hear among my peers and friends your car will start to sakt here and there...yes servicing at authorize service centre is a bit costly BUT since its just honda the price is not that big difference/expensive. Its not like proton where you can service anywhere and still doing fine...

This.. CVT interval for fluid is every 50k km iirc

Most likely not since always send service centre

Its not wrong though, memang 10k the oil last buuuut your service interval based on your engine is 5k

where servis? honda or outside?

If u dare, post your full service record here. If u dun dare. Hmmm I think we know why

I drink 2004 honda jesus also no need kesian like u. RM20K can buy a 2nd hand honda jesus like me

For servicing

My 2012 Jazz - Honda SC
My 2005 Odyssey - 90% DIY (I have all the tools needed, hobby)

Both religiously follow service interval / schedule. Both runs flawlesly.

create new acc for this?

By car then follow maintenance TnC.
I just don't understand why need to service outside...

Honda gearbox must use official Honda transmission fluids not just any old transmission fluid.
If not, ggwp liao.

Join Honda owners fab group, start find reliable workshop for halfcut Gb & future servicing.

but before that, learn to read user manual.

Drag service not because no time, but because you don't want to feel rugi service because didn't drive much. Penny wise pound foolish.

inb4 onelady owner
No accident
Tiptop engine
And some sohai will buy janji honda

Show your service record here

the term and condition is find way no matter how to denied the res ponsibili ty
if really no then no choice.

What is your car plate number so we can avoid buying it in used market later

Lifetime also need to change la. Its a gimmick

then the service advisor should told me that earlier, but no, he was the one said "no problem"

how late was your service

CVT's service interval is every 40k
but every brand's interval is a little different, not sure about honda but definitely not 50k
50k is too long already


this

btw if u buy new car just follow the service interval liao la. wan save money skip service or send outside bengkel, then dont complain cannot claim warranty jek.

just accept u pay marked up service cost for warranty

Oi TS who ask u to skip the scheduled maintenance?

Btw, u want me ask my friend who work at Honda to kautim for the repair or not? I’m going to see him this weekend. U pm your car details.

Proton CVT is 60k

Why not u diy ur jazz aswell since it is out of warranty?.diy can save a lot of money. but not many people can do it.

u really lucky nia.

true but u forgot proton CVT got include transmission oil filter
while other japanese brand's CVT do not have a filter...which is why the interval is much lower

☝️

20K underwear, ini orang kaya lo.

Can you read again what you typed?

This is purely user problem.

Lol. Pandan muka.

wrong, ayam suprima s cost 4-6k annually just for maintenance

Boy hang henjut bawak pi racing ke apa

Nissan pun ada cvt filter. I service every 40k too, just in case.

Ayam think TS bolt on turbo, plus mod stage 3 race chip


Lel

eh apasal so high ah? i summore want to buy a suprima S kasi main main sikit. you simply mod issit.

PS: back to topic... TS never change gearbox oil before issit.

manada, suprima my atuk bawak gi surau and send brother to/back school only

meanwhile my pesta hari2 lenjan still strong and paling kurang masalah.. albeit now sudah 105k km got la some minor hose bocor

these tebu cars ah they prefer highway/fast drives.. baru less problem. if everyday sangkut jam sure problem sini sana

ohhh.. what are the common ones? yeah i went and buy a hybrid but padahal i most of the time driving on highway my hybrid aint too fuel saving hahahaha. Hence passing down to my sister and planning to get a tebu.

service interval lower is better...change more often is better for the transmission

my CVT interval is also every 40k

i think the most ridiculous one is toyota....i think their service interval is either lifetime or 100k
