DongFeng Truck that you must Know

[Benson Tan]

A Year ago I've bought a brand new Dong Feng 4 wheel 2.8 liter Turbo Intercooler Truck. Now after a year with a mileage less then 15,ooo km. on paper it matchs its japanese counter part, but after purchasing it, I first hand seen its problems like.

Electrical Bugs
-driver side headlight will not function (somtime you need to knock the headlight to work)
-hazard light will not function (sometime)
-driver side speaker not working
-aircon not working
-speedometer not working (sometimes)

Transmission Bugs
-Hard downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear (matigas talaga sobra and fully depress na ang clutch) )
-Grinding of gear from 4th to 3rd gear ( fully depress na ang clutch)
-Grinding of gear fully stop to reverse gear ( fully depress na ang cluth)

Clutch sobra matigas wala vacuum assist ito.

Brakes Bugs
-when hard braking will pull to the right (somtime magugulat kanalang)

Steering Bugs
-hard steering, if the truck is loaded and the weight is mostly on front (para walang power steering)
-Grinding sound on full turn to the left or right ( sometimes )

I report this problem to them and they said just bring the truck back for service. they will fix it.
But its just temporary fix after a few hundred kilometer one by one problems cames back. I had the truck service for 3 times same parin ang out .

To the people who are planning to buy DongFeng or even other chinese made truck think it over.
