Rusting found in brand new Vios?

[vr2turbo]

Salesman said every car had the same problem. So, can complain if like this?

Probably they never expect you to go under the car to inspect......hhahahhahahaha

I am thinking the worst now, u'r ori parts were taken out & replaced wit & oem 1, theres a lot of diff in price tag when it's stated "original parts". maybe just go to a showroom & snap a pic of the car underneath & compare wit u'rs. by all means check warranty/guarantee if it's covered @ not, if not do d.i.y repaint/respray. make sure to neutralize the rust, look for zinc/galvanize coating spray & cover wit hi-temp spray. don't forget all the place where there's welding is used around it too.

I'm just too much of a car freak. Always curious to see those technical bits inside a car. See how the rear suspension look like, how the exhaust look like, what tyre size, tyre brand and so on. :stupid:

It'll look a bit stupid if I go to the showroom and look under the car like that. But that is a good idea though. Its just that I dint have the chance to visit the showroom yet.

If they tell things like every model is same like this, then how?

Depends. If it's my car or my family members car I'd insist on a warranty change. If they refuse and the T&C shows that it's under warranty I'd submit a complaint to HQ with pictures and claims, and if still no action - tribunal.

If it's someone elses car then I'd ask that someone else how much trouble they want to go through to claim.

Made in Asean Countries, sure will be OEM parts already. Mostly are local contents of that country of manufacture....:rolleyes:

Not the showroom show car, because probably that will be in better condition. See those normal for sale car, test car and so on....

could be your car was parked in the stock yard with overgrown lalang that's wat caused the rust.

It's my family member's car. I'll tell my family about this and see what they want to do.

Okay, will go and take a look if family decide to complain about it.

Actually this car is taken from Sitiawan. No idea how the stock yard looks like. Far from where I live.

Shop in Sitiawan, but car probably from Shah Alam factory. Either by transport truck or driver driven....

What I am thinking is, since Sitiawan is close to the sea, it could be the reason that caused this rusting. I have no idea how long this car has been at there before it is purchased. As far as I know, this car arrived at my home in less than a week after signing the forms, papers and documents for the purchase. So, the car could be parked at the stock yard for quite long ago.

even if u complaint at service centre, most probably they'll just spray on the rust.
no replacement will be done...reason given is rust is only on the surface.

so are u willing to wait half/whole day just to get it sprayed?

U won't look stupid if u dun think that way. Cuz that's what u think and not others

Don't worry, I'm not the one waiting as I am not the owner. But waiting for half a day just to get a small spray doesn't seem worth the time.

Positive motivation indeed, haha.

Not motivation la, is dont be too self-conscious, makes life more relaxing haha

That depends on who the owner is. For us DIY kakis, we will definitely do our own if small matter rather then waste half/whole day, but there are many who won't touch these stuff, so for sure they will send back to SC...

I looked underneath my sis car. Yes the supports are rusty. I would probably just spray it with high temp spray. Unless my sis doesnt mind waiting at SC.
