2010 Mitsubishi Strada [continued 2]

[RTS]

Just my personal opinion

Before my Strada (mdl 3.2/2009) we had the Nissan pick up , then Mazda, & Pajero Fieldmaster, among the 3 rugged rides , for the comfort ,I pick the Strada parang kotse ang feeling, better than pajero kasi I matigas ang upuan & my legs are seems always tight.
Sa engine response naman better than Montero, of course 2.5 versus 3.2 engine is not a fair argument, when driving my strada I feel like driving a car with big trunk.
My wife & I are already past 60 yo, we keep asking our selves "may ganito palang pick up (also our first automatic tranny)bakit tayo nagtiis ng matigas na sasakyan " for the past .

Nung sinabi ko yan sa SA ko, sinabi na kailangan palinis aircon. Pero ginawa ko lang, nag open close ako ng vent habang mabilis takbo ko... tapos di na ako nakakaamuy ng smoke sa labas.

you mean nov 15 2010?

of course it's not

there are a lot of horror stories re delayed plates/reg, but almost a year is just unheard of

Follow up, follow up, follow up...

Citimotors, esp makati, is really known for a not-so excellent after-sales (to say the least).

Notice (if you're from metro manila) when there are mitsu vehicles with old conduction stickers and still with no lto plates, more often than not it has the citimotors plate.

btw, your conduction sticker is BN-- i assume?

"Citimotors, esp makati, is really known for a not-so excellent after-sales (to say the least)."
+1001 agree, Super Like.

I was one of the DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER. It took mine 6 months and made constant follow-up. Masama pa, ang Freebies ko nabaon sa limot.

newbie lang po, nakuha ko yung strada ko glx v 2 months ago and have almost 3k km on it. tanong ko lang po kung may naka expirience na sa mga strada ower ng oil leak coming sa crankshaft pulley, nag karoon kasi yung akin ng oil link medyo malakas din yung leak pag nananakbo. Dinala ko.sya sa casa SFM at pinalitan nila yung gasket ng lower cover ng engine block. pero ng tinesting meron pa rin konting oil leak, so suggest nila palitan n yung buong assembly ng lower cover. hayyy too bad sa akin pa napatapat. good thing is that meron spare part at nag iisa lang daw yun sa planta ng cainta. Sa ngayon nasa casa pa rin yung truck ko.

[ooba99]

I commiserate with you, radley12. I hate hearing these kind of stories.

Please keep us updated pag may bagong development sa strada mo.

[guido]

mga sirs
new strada owner. baka meron kayo update where i can source tires and trade in my stock.
all terrain kasi kailangan ko. planning on 265/70/17. meron ba ganung size dito?
tried backreading karamihan kasi 16". also tried calling a few shops in tomas mapua and ryco karamihan wala. puro unknown sa akin mga brands na meron sila (federal, nexen etc)

also tanung ko nadin. maingay dash. sumisipol kapag rough road. puede ba paayos sa kanila yun or masyado ako maarte. hehe

pwede ka mag demand ng service unit sir....and BTW, kailangan aggressive ka sa pag follow up nyan....and then pag 3 beses ka na nagbalik balik you have the right to demand a replacement unit na....alam ko pwede yun....AFAIK....better check with the authorities

[jubs00]

gusto ko bro tuluyang i sarado na yung vent , kun saan man yun, di naman nagagamit kasi.....

+1. hindi nman talaga 100% sealed ang vent. I noticed this when driving on a dusty road meron talaga pumapasok na fine particles. Nag tanong ako sa mga mekaniko sa casa alam nila pano mag block, kaso once blocked na yung vent voided daw ang warranty according to my local SA. (pls confirm na lang.)

[tancho_kuhaku]

from what i know with our advie before pumapasok din pero what happened pala was while nag PMS they forgot to connect/balik the vent (open/close) sa control niya, so kahit e open,close ko yung knob papasok pa rin yung air from outside, pa double check nalang.

sa harap po o sa likod ng crankshaft oil seal? anyway, sulatan mo na lang sir at mag demand ka change new crankshaft, engine block or whole engine assembly.

"void na ang warranty" talagang paborito nilang linya yon eh no.
anyway, di naman siguro.
and definitely hindi warranty sa lahat (ex engine, suspension, etc)
kung sa body warranty (if they'll consider it 'body modification') or ac warranty, baka pwede nila iargue. pero i believe di pa din.
and there's nor reason to. ano ba ang macocompromise if u want it permanently blocked eh talaga namang ang setting na ginigamit most of the time eh yung blocked.
tsaka kung sila sa casa yung gagawa mismo ng process, it just doesnt make sense na process na inundertake nila would void the warranty.
palagay ko it's just a classic case of everything just to dupe you out of warranty rights.
btw, not that im discriminating, pero im guessing provincial casa to no?

Effect of Recent Flooding on Mitsubishi Motors' Production in Thailand

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) produces vehicles at its Thai subsidiary Mitsubishi Motors Thailand's Laem Chabang plant.

Although the Laem Chabang plant, located south east of Bangkok in the coastal Chonburi province, was unaffected by the recent flooding in the northern and central areas of Thailand, parts makers located in the flooded areas were affected, interfering with steady parts procurement. Therefore MMC temporarily halted production from the night shift on October 13 to October 17. The flooding situation in the northern and central parts of Thailand continues to affect local parts suppliers, thus MMC today has decided to continue to halt production of its main models from October 18 to October 22. However, production of some models which parts inventory remains will continue until October 19.

MMC will continue monitoring the situation in Thailand, and based on developments will decide on whether or not to restart its production operation from October 24 and onwards.
