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?

This is a very weird and rare case indeed  rclxub.gif

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?

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.

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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle
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.

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