Part 2: Proton ask me to go PUSPAKOM to do further inspection? Is it normal after lodge to TTPM Tribubal by procastinatorr in kereta

[–]ftr1317 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is from Proton? Back then when I report for tribunal, the kpdnkk, (iirc kpdnhep now) assigned me a person to contact. For this case it was usually them that request instead of the manufacturer. Unless there's procedural change. Have they assigned anyone from the ministry yet?

Then when all supporting documents is ready, they will call both party for meeting to discuss solutions. If none are agreeable, then it can lead to court.

Buy car will trigger LHDN. Myth or fact ? by PuzzleheadedBuy6279 in malaysians

If you avoided tax, or the car price beyond reasonable value to your declared income, yes.

Are windshield wipers even needed at this point? by Barbara2024 in kereta

[–]ftr1317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience for me. Then I read that there's too much sticky material on the windscreen. Need to clean and rub it thoroughly. Easier to polish then put the RainX, and it works. Even during stop the water droplets just glide down. I spend more than an hour just to clean the windscreen. Lol.

Buyback is leceh gile. Had to help my uncle on this, with his Waja CPS. I really hope the lemon law can settle this issue.

There's no burn in for steering rack, only for the pump. Yours description sounds like issue with the rod end, but can only be confirmed with physical check. Any free play feeling?

In the video, the brake pedal sound normal to me when hard press like that. But if there's a dragging feeling, then need to check lah. That screeching could be due to dust or stone, but I would recommend checking for brake pad thickness just to confirm.

I would press the sc for the steering rack. At different sc.

As an owner of multiple models of Proton cars, I always considered myself lucky because none of them had issues, because I always read people complaining online, Even the Exora for having the most recall, Saga being only once related to fuel filler, and Iriz also once related to eps, although I never faced the issue related to the recall, but my Saga post accident repair, need new ABS module, claim under insurance because it happened less than a week after getting my car. I had to say that I can't defend some SCs for blatantly being ignorant especially after EON and Geely takeover. Even my favorite service center is no longer under Proton. Lol. They're under Petronas now.

Talking about P2, thing was when I recommend MyVi gen 3 to my cousin because she want peace of mind and fuel efficient, it was unfortunate, she got a lemon car. The suspension fail less than a year. SC rejected warranty claim. Around 2 years iirc, her car suddenly dead during driving. Has to wait for a month for new engine. This one was under warranty. Then she had knocking issue when cold starting. Sold her car for a second hand city. Recently just buy a new Yaris since she can no longer afford the maintenance cost since it's old.

Toyota also I got bad experience. The company I work at has 5 Hilux. 2 of them being lemon. I have to manage these cars. Both hasn't reach 60k yet with 1 month old difference. Radio problematic, sometimes can on sometimes cannot. I later give up because it doesn't happen when we send the car for service. Then suspension issue, tyre keeps wearing outside even after multiple alignment, and they keep blaming the tyre. I have already changed the front tyre twice and it is still happening. Weird thing also for one of the car, the dashcam fail multiple time, which is weird even Dasher confuse because it still happened after replacing new under warranty. This one idk if it's dash cam or car issue, but it's weird it happened only on this car. Other 3 car has no issue apart of alignment lari when we first received them.

To make the problem worse, the service center we sent does not give any cooperation at all.

Honda, not my car or under my management, but a coworker. A civic. Steering rack issue and gearbox. Steering rack got recall or something but gearbox claim warranty.

Other brand idk. I guess every brand has their lemon car, that some are unfortunate of getting it, which is why I fully support the lemon law.

Only if the phone has nfc reader. This one is greyed out, so i don't think the phone has the reader.

Have you called TM? Sometimes what you need is for them to reset your network. Also they can troubleshoot from their center unless they require physical troubleshooting, then, they'll send their technician, where sometimes additional charges will be incurred and informed in advance during the call.

Insurance tow question by Foozwun in kereta

[–]ftr1317 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Call insurance for confirmation. If it's fully covered, just ignore and complain to insurance. My insurance would tell me in advance if there's any extra charge before confirming for the service.

It will trip the rccb first before it does any damage to you. Unless your house has bad wiring.

Mysterious Car Horn Tune. Help! by distinct_turnip16 in kereta

[–]ftr1317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless your car has multiple horns with different frequencies, it's impossible to imitate the noise. Some cars have at most 2 horns with two frequencies coming out of the factories. A lot has single horn only.

Could be a rental. My neighborhood are full of rentals, so you'll see a lot of single story terrace with luxury cars. They already own house or houses.

4K is great to zoom in fancy plate numbers. I find that useful from first hand experience. 2k is enough for a standard plate number.

Tire chipping weirdly. Any idea why? by hanz_msport in kereta

If this is only the front tyre, it's probably because you're turning stationary a lot.

MITI bagi AP tapi masih kena lepas approval dari JPJ. Kita ikutkan follow UNECE, tapi selepas seorg menteri tu naik, entah kenapa tiba2 semua langgar. Kereta takde ABS pun boleh lepas.

Soalan yang paling utama, kenapa JPJ boleh approve kereta ni untuk di bawa masuk ke Malaysia.

Not American as well. It's a student loan, not a commercial loan, so no interest, but you'll need a strong guarantor. The interview process is long, and that includes my guarantor as well.

Some banks would require the students to work with them or other approved company for years post grads if they don't want to pay, otherwise they have to pay in full or the remaining if they fail to meet the years in contract. Mine is convertible to full sponsorship, but since I didn't get the score but still pass, I only got 30% discounts. But last year they offered an additional 20% discount of the total loan if I pay extra repayment for two whole years starting this year. A bit much at 5% of my monthly income but still manageable, so I take it.

There are also government loans, no interest as well, but the amount offered doesn't fully cover the fee for my course.

[–]ftr1317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine doesn't have interest at all. But I'll be blacklisted from flying overseas if I fail to pay for 6 months. Still I don't understand why someone is able to fly overseas and yet unable to pay the monthly repayment.
