So the service advisor advise me to change that RM300++ rear brake pads is Akebono set?

most probably/Should be.. which SC are you going??? those franchise SC or own by UMW toyota???
cos i know UMW only with Original only but some of the Franchise SC still have old stock where they have 2 kind Local vs Japan... i asked a few UMW SC already all they say is those Local they receive quite a number of complaints so they did not sell already...

I'm in UMW Seremban SC. Later I'll ask whether the brake pads set is Akebono set.

yea... if it is a UMW branch service center should be ok... franchise Service Center i'll ask a lil more in depth...

I am currently using a HILUX n facing ***** problem whe toyota. After few complaint end in and out finally i giv up to complaint at TOYOTA malaysia.

My problem is after i changing my clutch set(cover, disc n bearing), my car power feel weaker than my old set which the disc is nearly finish n the cover is having burn mark on it. But u all know where the new set made of? INDONESIA... n they claim its original n same performance as the original parts.

I do complaint till the US web but they dont layan my issue but they do get me some JPN detail. But without email there. Or the Advanza bro can call the JPN HQ n ask for a email? (sorry forgot ur name)

This the toyota HQ details. Hope it might help...

N for the bro who wan to change the original set of brake pad....take my advise... forget about UMW... u can always get the original part from UMW authorize part dealer. N it is much cheaper compare to u buy in The service center. I do ask about my clutch there n i only found out about all this. If u wan to know about just ask here. I will answer u, n there is more stupid parts in toyota Sc n i never trust them now!!!

Toyota really sucks... i mean the ppl work in the SC!!!

I am facing the same problem with Toyota (Alor Setar Branch). I told them that my engine has funny noise and the repair bill rolls from few hundred to an unbelievable amount of RM11,700++. BTW, I drive a VIOS and it is less than 2 years.

I have already bought this matter to the Tribunal for Consumer Claims (TTPM) and pending for the decision. I will keep everyone posted on the result.


ADUAN TERHADAP TOYOTA SERVICE CENTRE ALOR STAR

Merujuk kepada perkara diatas, pada tarikh 15hb September 2010, saya telah pergi ke pusat service centre Toyota untuk membuat servis kereta kepunyaan anak perempuan saya, yang bernombor KCU 808, jenis Toyota Vios 1.5G (kereta ini didaftar pada tarikh 31hb Disember 2007) dan diberitahu bahawa kereta tersebut perlu diserahkan pada tarikh 17hb September 2010 untuk diservis. Pada masa itu saya memberitahu pihak berkenaan bahawa kereta tersebut mempunyai bunyi yang kasar semasa dipandu dan meminta pihak berkenaan memeriksa kereta tersebut dan menukarkan alat ganti yang sepatutnya mengikut jadual yang telah disediakan oleh pihak Toyota.........

Hie ,mind to explain in more detail the funny noise that you are experiencing?

Why the service advisor doesn't call you first and tell you what is the faulty part and estimated cost?

read his attachment.... but i am confused on the 2 years warranty... doesn't it mean that it is already over?

i wonder the same thing too.. by right they should let u know the estimated cost and also what they will do/parts that will be replaced.

any member who want pro car mechanic pm me. he is in northern region.

hahahaha...mmg toyota suck.....hehehe....better u pakai nissan or mitsubishi lor...if u have xtra money pick a honda lor.....in general i prefer Mitsubishi....hohohoho best car in world....becoz mitsubishi is cheap maa...n senang mau cari spare part....

Hahaha.. Now who say naza sucks?? Naza is better than Toyota...

aiyo, VIos J still pwned inspira la.

*Sarcasm*

Yeah.. Vios can pwned beemer and merc oso.. haha

period...toyota under 100k car cannot buy one, lousy quality...after i use avanza for 4 years wont buy toyota again except for estima cuz really disappointed...my car go over 100kmh also will sway left and right...totally not stable, my proton saga also more stable. After change to grand livina, never look back, the car so much more better then any toyota mpv and of cuz i have test driven the innova, eventhough space is bigger and higher but driving feel still not as good...be mindful i am not being bias, its the fact and you all know it...the stupid lorry platform really kns

well, maybe it depends, the only under 100k Toyota I`ve own is the Hilux. after 3 years, its still the best car (in term of maintenance, nothing broke down) in my house which consist a City, Civic FD and a Merc. Only gone for alignment recalibration once(the City and Civic stock suspension are a problem in our road). the stock tire still keeping the pressure well after a month, no pressure drop. nothing fall apart (the same cannot be said about the Civic and City). oh yeah, after the warranty period, I never been to the SC anymore. very expensive service there. brake pad for RM300????? good luck paying for that overpriced piece of metal. but no doubt Toyota Selayang SC is the best SC I ever visit, Honda SC are nothing compared to it.

But, driven a friend Vios for a few time, I think the City is still better.
