New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[ghost recon]

Sir fms, if you are planning to replace your headlight bulbs with HID kailangan kabitan mo rin ng projector housing para hindi sabog. Kung wala yung projector, sabog talaga yung magiging bato ng ilaw with HID. Not aware of any club member who had installed a projector housing for HID upgrade sa strada nila. Medyo mahal ata, or walang availabe na projector housing for the strada. Plus there may be electrical warranty issues pa.

sir, sent you PM

sori moxxxs tagal ang reply ko, busy kasi hehe! anyway, ang spring ata sa front ang matagtag, kaya lagi akong maingat nalang sa lubak and the squeaking sound comes from the rear leaf spring ata. im complaining kasi hindi naman ganito ang isuzu pickups namin kahit luma na. hindi kaya luma nag binigay sakin na unit? or test drive unit kaya?

sir fms, regarding po sa squeeking sound from the leaf spring, balik nyo sa casa.. they'll fix it for free. last pms ko papagawa ko sana yung saken kaso hapon na natapos pms eh medyo matagal daw yung process kaya balik ko na lang.. babaklasin yung leaf spring tas may lalagay na plastic yata para mawala yung squeeking sound.. hindi naman siguro sir luma or test drive unit yan.. btw, ano na po ba mileage nyo?

sir FMS: nasagot na po nila ang tanong mo...wala na me masabi.

just bring it back to the dealership. Write a formal complaint, if ayaw nila gawin, write MMPC for them to action your concern. I doubt they gave you a test vehicle. How many KM did you car travel when you brought it out of the dealership?

gusto ko nga sana maglagay ng projector housing, kaso lang wala dito sa leyte. syempre gusto ko rin safe ang kasalubong ko. baka pwede mo ako tulungan sir kung saan sa manila meron housing. ill be going there next week.

Sir fms, balik mo sa casa mo at ireklamo. Usually, they put a special lubricant or silencer na tinatawag nila (not so sure) to address the squeakiness of the leafspring. AFAIK, dito sa Metro Manila, they do this for free.

sana nga ma solve ang problem ko, kasi im planning to sell it and have a dmax nalang, hopefully not coz i like the features of strada. medyo hindi rin kasi maganda after sales service sa leyte. hindi nga nila na fix ang problem ko sa alarm kasi masyadong sensitive kahit nasa lowest ang setting. nakukulitan na nga sakin ang service kaya pinatanggal ko nalang ang shock sensor. na bad trip din ako sa antirust nila, palpak ang trabaho, kaya pina-backjob ko. medyo marami akong hindi magandang experience hehe! sana hindi na maulit para bumuli pa rin ako ng mitsu

ganun ba, tagal pala. siguro paayos ko nalang during the next change oil. mileage ko ngayon is 5k+. city driving lang kasi, ang hindi naman everyday. pagkuha ko ng unit, less than 100 naman ang mileage nya. but sabi ng mekaniko, pwede naman nila palitan daw ang odometer ng bago. zero pa nag reading. sana bago ang unit ko hehe!

o nga daming sumagot, ganda naman dito super welcome pala ako hehe!
mga less than 100 ang mileage nung kinuha ko, so ok naman sya. but sabi nga ng mitsu sa cebu, kaya daw nilang palitan ang odometer ng bago, order lang daw yun. sana hindi nila ginawa yun. kasi kawawa naman ang customer, sakto ang binayad nya tapos hindi kontento sa unit. at hindi bibili ulit ng mitsu kung hindi maganda ang after sales nila.

si sir drave ang naglalagay ng oil or sa casa? anong oil naman ang ginamit kaya para ma apply ko nalang.

[fms]

ganda naman ng samahan nyo dito. maraming tumutulong. na-iinggit ako sa mga lakad nyo. kung nasa manila lang ako, sasama talaga ako hehe!

putting oil to eliminate the sound is a temporary solution. once the oil dries up the sound comes back again. it has to do something with the leaf pack itself, there should be a solution since other cars with leaf spring suspension does not have this noise problem.
