Why did the UMW guys only focusing on wheel alignment? If the all those test results showing within spec, but your vehicle still pulling to one side, IMHO, it's the steering rack that is faulty.

Since you'd been to so many tyre shops, had any of them ever checked the steering rack?

rack no leaking, no loose...

what abt the steering rack pre-assembled as senget?

evry screw n nut r tight. no leaking or broken. this is factory defect... but how to proof?

alignment is ok, 4 wheels pointing straight, but still pulling to one side, could be "Crabbing".. car drifting sideways..

how come can like this?

This is a very weird and rare case indeed

So was any qualified mechanics/technicians/foremen other than the ones from UMW able to rectify the cause of this problem? What did they recommend you to repair/replace?

balik kilang

your wheel chamber senget ? lol , i drive old toyota , good condition still can drift one lol

do u think is possible for new car?

its possible lol , my new car , when i get it , i brake that time whole car shaking , send back to service center , then they replace the stuff for me , chevrolet tho

Added on September 19, 2008, 12:36 ambro,sorry to heard ur story,i spend about half hour to read this topic.In Malaysia, no matter wat car company,when they can't solve the problem,they can just simply give a lot of reason and just simply ignore ur problem.try to get a lawyer in this case and sue them. I got a friend who bough an altis 3 years ago,(he's a lawyer) and found out the car is door,bonnet,rear boot are assembly with not align(a little only),and he sue UMW,and till TMC. and guess wat,he get a new altis from UMW. Im not sure either u still can do the same as my friend,coz ur car is 1-2 years already.but u can try the method i suggest here.(lawyer fee i not sure how much,but u can try to ask lawyer for oppinion)Good luck to u

Added on September 19, 2008, 12:53 amAnother question,why they say ur warranty void?i dun get it?did u mod anything on ur suspension? or they just simply void ur warranty?Actually i think there'/s no point u send letter to TMC.

i got some suggestion

1. U can try other service center in KL area or just try outstation service center.
2. As u mention earlier,u did send ur car to a lot of tyre shop,till no one can solve the problem,and it's still the same,try to find some famous mechanic and help u to have a look.
3.Try to ask other 1.3M avanza user to test drive with u.
4.or u can go to any UMW toyota outlet and perform a test drive with the avanza 1.3 M and dun mention wat purpose,just say u interested in the car and see is it the same?(use the usual way u driving,im just afraid the way of ur driving maybe is not suitable for the avanza?)

another question,did u corner kao kao with ur avanza? ( just asking)

So far as i know,the UMW toyota getting the 1st in the JD power research in Sales and service,so,just try again with UMW and go for other branch and see,i will suggest u to shah alam since the HQ is there or just go directly to HQ and complain to them. Bring all the job order and invoice together when u go there.

sad to hear that.
OMG , two years already and the problem still there . you have been risking your life driving with your avanza ! Better self it off, and get a Honda

Off topic a bit : Thailand ,Taiwan and Singapore using Toyota as a Taxi . that why i go for Honda !

lol good point also.I heard tat in Malaysia,UMW will not allow any ppl buying toyota for taxi except for Innova only.Coz wanna maintain the standard.Sadly,this is all becoz of Malaysia tax

malaysia tax nearly reach 40-50% of de car price

more like 80%
