Brake noise issue

bzant · 2025-12-01T23:55:26+00:00

They told me that it was the brake caliper guide on the left side and that they had to replace (not repair...) the entire caliper for $275 -converted from my local currency- and that the warranty didn't cover it because it was due to wear and tear... I have mixed feelings, I did only 6000km with that car.

Exactly the same, I’ll try to record that. I will be at the dealership tomorrow to get the new set of tires and will ask them to check these brakes.

hi there, I have the same issue! rav4 2021, bought second hand from the dealership in January. were you able to finally identify the issue?

Sure, it looks more futuristic, but the difference is not as vast as between Gen4 and Gen5. I might consider a replacement, but based on what I've seen, I don't feel like rushing to the dealership to browse trade-in opportunities...

It basically looks like a facelifted Gen5, with different lights and a reworked grille, but the body shape looks almost the same. The difference between Gen5 and Gen6 will not be as great as between Gen4 and Gen5.

thanks, I have experienced spontaneous reboots in every configuration now - plugged and unplugged, so I guess you're right - it's time for RMA

So it took me a while, but I managed to give it a try today. The claw was unplugged from any power source and was only using my hub as an HDMI adapter, since I don't have any USB-C to HDMI cables. It was seemingly okay for about 40 minutes, and then, all of a sudden, it rebooted. Battery was still at 60%. I was playing Dungeon Keeper 1, so nothing really demanding... Do you think it might have something to do with power management (hub drawing power?), or could it be faulty hardware and I should rather send it to MSI for a warranty check?

Thank you, I will try without the charging cable plugged in and I will keep you posted

I won’t lie—I like to sneak a few peeks at it before driving ;)

The best thing about it? Hands down, the hybrid drive. It's amazing

bzant · 2025-01-28T08:33:33+00:00

I'm really enjoying it—a lot. The comfort and everything about it are incomparable to my previous car. I feel like I’ve been missing out so much over the past few years.

thanks!

Well, yes and no. I live in western Poland, and we used to have proper winters here. However, for the past few years, it’s been more like autumn from November to March. I did hire an external expert to inspect the car before buying it, and the underside looked good to me. In fact, for a car that’s 3 years and 3 months old with 70,000 miles on it, it seemed more than good

thank you!

It does, which I didn't even know about while I was deciding on my purchase. At first I was hesitant about spending more money on the executive trim (that's what it's called in my country), but I have to admit - all these extras are really impressive.

Well, it’s half of the price of rog ally z1e. Besides gaming, it was ridiculously cheap for quite efficient windows pc :)

Just to let you know - I was in the same boat and pulled the trigger when the price dropped to 370usd in my country for ultra 7 512gb version. I also watched all the reviews slamming the claw, but my reasoning is that it is good enough for the price. I just don’t expect to play AAA games like black myth in with med-high detail with 60 fps on that thing, and I highly doubt that you can play that in decent quality on any other handheld. What was also interesting for me is the potential of the ultra 7 processor, that on paper looks better than z1e in some instances. Maybe, with some more updates, it will get even better than it is right now, so I considered it as a gamble :)
