"Good engine performance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My air-con blower noise after 1500KM

My door handle panel broken after 5100KM.

General comments?

The performance of this car is good enough, but they use a lot of low cost

& recycle material to make the plastic parts.

That's why the door handle panel was

broken after 4 months (5100KM) after I owned the car. The service central

only replace me a new handle in black color & ask me to pay RM30 for the print work spraying. My air-con blower has noise after 2 months (1500KM),the foreman only apply WD40 to repair

the blower & they don't agree to replace a new one for me. They told me that this is a common case & a lot of

car owner are facing the same symptom.

Waja 1.6M 2002- Engine failure to perform (no pick up) due on defect manufacture on crank shaft bearing. At last the good mechanic solve my problem with cost only RM 237. I have been looking to solve this problem few months with cost near RM 1,500. Even authorised service center can't solve this problem.

Spraying door handle cost you RM30 even it's still under warranty?? And even it's broke within 4 months?? lol...funny, my Waja's door handle just broke after 3 years I own the car... and at my near servis center will not applying any spraying cost charge if door handle is still under warranty. And after 4 years and almost 5 years, the only problem of my waja are faulty power windows and faulty A/C fan (location inside front hud).. and I guess, it's time for me to change all 4 shock absober with "Improved" brand shock absorber and fitted with lowered spring and that will make my ride run smoothly even on "low profile" mode.
