much ado about a (national) car
17 07 2008on monday, went to work and as usual, parked meself at the basement of the building.
end of work day - was happily driving out of the basement parking and was slowing down as i neared the exit gates when i heard something clattering near the driver’s door. thot i hit something but saw nothing to confirm this - so merrily proceeded to wind down the windows to use my season pass
then it hit me….. the bleedin’ power window is acting up again!!
*sigh* the perennial problem plaguing owners of models coming from this carmaker
somehow managed to safely and fully wind up again (good thing, coz it was raining when i exited at the elevated highway) - but every time i hit a hump on the road - the clattering happens again.
been avoiding from using the power window since - let’s see how long i last til i bash the darned thing up!
so if you park in klcc and see a waja driver opening the door at the parking entry gates instead of just winding down the power window as god intended - you have full permission to *tsk*tsk* away - tu laaaa beli lagi model tu..kan ke memang their doors/windows slalu problem
me - still wondering why do things break down only 3 years after it came out of the factory- siap ada lulus nye sticker (lulus apa? bolos!) - in my case, i had already replaced the power window motor (or wuteva u call em things) less than a year ago (as captured in this post). wear & tear? it’s a bleedin’ car window - for a model made in malaysia - with hot and humid climate - definitely would need to be wound down and up again (esp. minyak dah naik nie - mornings i don’t bother with air-conditioning).. build that into the design!
kalau la rejeki mengizinkan. tidak la lagi akan ku beli kereta dari pembuat kereta yang satu ini!
abu and i decided to get ourselves a national car just becoz of the harga minyak… we bought a myvi (belum dapat lagi)… proton cars are so predictable. kerosakan is as follow; power window, power lock, aircond, the rest of the car…. heheheheh…
true. but then, until perodua comes out with a sedan - i think i’ll live with this moving contraption they call a car.
tadi baru le nengok advert vios - extra by a few g’s aje from the waja. dang.
oh well. must be prudent in spending! am buying me a house - so priorities lies elsewhere!
[...] abis cite power window..the part we thot needed replacement was ok - it was the bracket(?) - which was not available [...]
