Exactly the same issue tayo Brood5.Nagovernight un unit ko sa casa and they adjusted and cleaned my rear breaks. This morning they tested and sabi nila wala na daw un squeaking sound. I will test it tomm and update you kung nawala na nga un sound. Hopefully wla na [emoji120][emoji120][emoji2]

ang paminsan minsan na squaking sound sa rear brake drum pag nag reverse sa umaga normal lang yan. experience ko yan toyota, ford, hyundai, honda etc. parking hand brake yan na hindi agad nag release. pag ikot ng atras sasabit kaya may ingay, mawala din agad pag gumalaw na ang car. di ko yan pinoproblema.

Squeaking sound on brake drum normal? Hindi yata normal sir. Baka la na brake pad o baka wheel bearing.

Yeah, i do not think it is normal. It could lead to something more serious. I'm bringing back again to the casa my unit...i still hear the sound after two trips to casa. Bad trip lang kc considering it is a brand new car e dapat it is fault and worry free car.

sa unang atras lang yan sir sa umaga. pag nag ingay madalas sa abante yan ang worn brake pad or brake lining. minsan clip ng front brake pad. sa old highlander ko madalas mag ingay pag atras sa garahe sa umaga, ang dahilan masyado mahigpit adjustment ng hand brake cable.

Hi,

I've been back reading (mga 30 pages worth na din) on this forumn for quite some time. I am also an avid fan of MU-X, pati sa panaginip dinadrive ko na to. haha! I'm a newbie in tsikot.com and not really familiar with the acronymns used.

Anyway, I gathered some info from the pages na nabasa ko na:

Pros:
- Feature-wise MU-x wont be behind its direct competitors (monty, fortuner, TB and everest)
- Its not really underpowered based from other owners
- Very comfortable ride

Problems:
- squeaking break sounds even for almost new units (unresolved yet)
- BRR sound when hitting the 70kph+ mark (unresolved yet)

Dealership
- Dealers require you to buy insurance from them with insane add-on amount
- requires D.I. as well (what's D.I.?)
- Stock is still an issue
- Overpriced LTO registration fee

Given the price point and features, its hard to beat this. However, baka meron puede magprovide ng info on the following:

1. what's the average FC on the LS-A 4x2 on City and Long drive? What's the RPM at 100kph?
2. I plan to buy from Isuzu alabang or makati. Do these dealers practice the bad habits above?
3. Any update on the problems above?
4. I will buy a unit through a Bank Loan, any tips?
5. What's D.I.?
6. Is there a MUX owners club here locally? any FB page?

Thanks po sa lahat ng tutulong.

Average FC I get (mixed) is 8-11 km/L (provincial traffic and Manila), RPM * 100 Km/h is 1900-2000
