the VIN is only as good as the data source
i tried checking the VIN of my montero on existing VIN decoder websites and got nothing. the only data returned was that it was manufactured in thailand. there was even no model, date of manufacturer, or even manufacturing plant
unless the data on thai produced vehicles are uploaded, then our only source of the VIN decoder is from the manufacturer itself

oo nga binasa ko mula umpisa tapos hindi ko nalaman kung ano yung amicable settlement bitin na bitin tuloy ako bigla na lang nawalang parang bula si TS he he he
*sir rllopez - under warranty pa talaga dapat yan kasi wala pang 3 yrs ang sasakyan niyo.
*sir vromvrom - ang mahirap pag nanakawan tayo sa casa, wala tayong laban kasi pinapapirma nila yung checklist sa atin. siyempre di naman natin bubusisiin yung listahan kasi marami tayong iniisip. ang sa akin lang ay dapat may INTEGRITY AT TRUSTWORTHINESS ang mga trabahante sa lahat ng shops na tulad ng casa.
i suggest that whenever we are short-changed, fooled, lied on, robbed, etc. - we should file a complaint letter to DTI right away! let's not take these things, be it big or small, sitting down. let's make DTI do what they are paid to do....protect the consumers' interests!
di inaaksyunan ng mga dealers ang mga complaints (tulad ng sitwasyon ko) kaya ayun - naka file na sa DTI at sa MMPC. at kung wala pa rin................
dapat i-PACO sa pader ang mga tauhan diyan sa UNION MOTORS PACO para matauhan
Sa dating pa ng mga actions nila eh parang sanay na sanay na sila sa ganitong gawain. Buti at may ganitong thread para ma-warningan yung mga future buyers.
By the way mods, any chance kaya na ma move to sa Goon Squad para mas madaming makapansin ng thread?
dati, ok na ok, sir kamotecueman. at super alaga pa nga (kaka-5,000 kms pa nga lang). pero ngayon at alam kong dapat yung '09 edition na, nakakawalang gana nang gamitin. lalo na't pag nakakakita kami at nalalaman namin na '09 edition ang nakuha at mas maaga pang nakuha kaysa amin.
alam niyo siguro yung ganung feeling....feeling mo na nadugas ka sa binili mong brand new...lalo na't mamahaling bagay. at lalo na't 5 years mong babayaran...limang taon mong paghihirapan!! hahayaan niyo bang walang mangyari sa inyo nun? hindi, di ba sir?
kaya, kailangang ipaglaban talaga ito.
Lymar, sorry to hear about what they did to you. But I'm glad to hear that that your case with the DTI is progressing. I wish you the best with your case.
Like other people who responded to your post, I too have my share of bad experiences with Union Motors Paco. This involves the window visor they attached to the Fuzion I bought November last year.
One of the visors was lost while I was travelling in NLEX a month ago. When I inspected the other remaining visors, I saw that they're all starting to peel. I was surprised because my other cars have visors and none of them showed signs of adhesive giving out, considering they're much older.
I immediately called the dealer and asked them to replace the visor. I felt I was in the right since the loss was due to poor adhesive and there was no abnormal operation of the vehicle. But they refused. At the time, I didn't really mind because the item costs only P2,000. I'll just buy a new set and replace the adhesive with 3M.
But, after reading the posts here, I realized that this is symptomatic of how bad their service is. I said to myself, if they can't even live up to a P2k item, what more if I encounter a major defect?
A piece of unsolicited advice to anyone considering doing business with Union Motors Paco ... GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Remember, a vehicle is a big investment. You should give your business to a company who conducts itself with honor and who stands by their product.
Lastly, after reading the posts here, I'll recommend to my company to withdraw its accreditation of Union Motors.
