Wow, really a long long post le TS. But the more i read the more dissapointed i become to UMW service. Since most Msians will go to Toyota as a relief to Proton, i guess their sales figures making them proud and arrogant. Their stand is, you guys also no other car can buy la, either u buy our Toyota or get lost.

Wow. Your case take almost more than 1 year to undergo those procedures. It's pretty much unbearable.

UMW toyota malaysia really irresponsible

my fren bought a 2nd hand supra and send there for repair but they say they dunno fix supra and ask us find workshop

raelly stupid if dunno fix own toyota den dun call UMW TOYOTA

i don't think UMW toyota malaysia brought in supra.. so i'm pretty sure they don't know how to fix a 2JZ..

in m'sia there are not many supra around.. so why would toyota bring the mechanics over to japan and trained them to fix a 2JZ? some more supra is no longer in production.. toyota is into fixing more common cars.. eg: vios, camry, altis

btw, for those ppl who owns evo, skyline, scooby, rx7 and etc won't take their car back to the manufacturing workshop to fix.. most of them would bring to other workshops..

your friend should check out sunway's workshops

Nicole: sabar la...

pinky: there are plenty of workshops in sunway that knows how to fix a supra but only a handful that is skilled in it... I'm not surprised UMW cant fix Supra. If u take 6 years ago, when i still had my RAV4, they dont even wanna take it... then later when they do, they returned the car all dirty to me. Didnt even bothered to wash it..

The Avanza is assemble in Malaysia I think that's why suck so bad lol

SUE TOYOTA also no use i guess, big companies are big shark they just have to rasuah then settle everything liow.
If u bought a lemon car, then its really unlucky i think last resort is totalled it and claim insurance buy new one but in the process = u lose some $$ as the premium.

And To be honest, Car companies should be more responsible of consumers car, to buy a damn Honda civic Type R in UK/US is just 1/3 the price in Malaysia and we get this kind of shitty services.

goodwill is very important, i suggest the owner of the avanza make a headline in news paper to Chinese papers usually they write whatever gossip in it.
This will create an image impact on the company.

atleast to warn the future people who going to buy a car be more careful.


if i can afford i think will buy a European car. although there is cases where defect car leads to lost of lives, that's just luck i guess.

media scare put news like this, they lost advertisement from manufacturer.

they never did bring in the supra . though if they did , it would be priced like who knows what

well cannot put newspaper then put on blogs famous blogger, in fact internet now days is a large media source for most people. I cant live without internet

Lowyat.NET famous also

at least you guys have more options for service centre. Miri only have one. the service really sucks (the worst one is they charge us rm9 for car wash and its still dirty). i think we all should continue to complaint (not only for toyota service but other services as well) and not have the 'tidak apa' attitude. afterall it is our right to a good service.

I have a tyre puncture this morning. i have already noticed some problem to the car yesterday. My friend and I checked but we couldnt figure out what happened. we checked the tyre but it seemed fine. But we weren't the technical engineers so we can only assumed.

I called up the service centre if they could have a quick inspection or at least test drive it. But they were closing (so its my fault to call 10 mins before closing hr.) and they were a lot of customer so they could not attend to my request. Imagine if i have to drive back to my hometown ( a 6hrs drive) and got involved in a car accident or stuck in a middle of nowhere because of a tyre puncture.

they could have reversed the blame on me for not checking the car (i serviced the car 1 week ago), or that i send it to a 3rd party service centre while under warranty so it is my fault.

Its frustrating and dissapointing.

A good brand but lousy service. Perhaps only true in Malaysia.

Toyota sucks in Malaysia, all models are using cheap parts assembled especially for malaysian market.....but I still blame Proton for all these to happen. Imported brands won't be applying those cost cutting materials if Proton does not exist. Remember those imports bought in the 70's or the early 80's. They are still tough as steel.

a toyota can have braking problems or acceleration problems and still malaysians will say it is earth or water or heaven fault...but never the car or the manufacturer...

if this crappy service centre were naza..i think 16 pages of this page would be condemning them and making as much noise as possible...not asking TS to go out to a 3rd party workshop or 'think too much'

at last their LCLY attitude bring down their brand

Well this is 17 pages already.

lms, saw the videos.

I'm pretty sure this is a caster problem like my pm to you.

My KIA Sportage 2000 has the exact problem of pulling to the left even though the alignment is perfectly straight.

http://www.ozebiz.com.au/racetech/theory/align.html

It's not a huge problem, and if you don't fix it I suppose one can live with it.

Some front wheels can be adjusted for caster, and some can't, I dunno why.

Anther reason told be me by veteran mechanics, left side wheels and right side wheels have different wheelbase (center to center distance between wheels). In your case, since it is pulling to the left, then the left wheelbase is shorter than the right wheelbase. The difference is not possible to be spotted by the naked eye, so I think it's best that the wheelbase be measured accurately, and also the the caster can also be measured.

try that... wouldn't work...

this car not only pull left... sometimes right too.

Boring of hearing those boleh minded....

Proton problem = Proton suxs
Toyota problem = Fault of those Toyota staff...

Its your luck...

TS... Did they adjust camber... camber may make your car pull a side too... Some more what tyre r u using? Tyres also may make your car pull a side too... Hope this info can solve your problem...

Pull right too? Well this is new to me... Sorry to hear you've got a lemon of a car. Other than smashing it with a sledgehammer right in front of Toyota office in the presence of the media, the only other solution is to sell it off and get another one. Saves you lots of headache!
