We test Toyota Fortuner with BEISSBARTH brake tester on 6/12/2005 in Bangkok THAILAND.

We found the brake efficiency was 45% (below standrad)
Brake force front axis left 3310 newton right 2870 newton
Rear axis left 1730 newton right 1390 newton
Brake imbalance front axis 13%
Rear axis 19%

ROAD TEST on 5/12 /48 found brake rotor temperature rise
550 degree Centrigrade,brake pad crack , experienced brake fade and must increase pedal Force about 30% to obtain same stop distance.

Sorry if this massage waste your times.

Sorry to disappoint you guys if I posted this thread with links that can't be understood by us. But I managed to get some english version which I believe can be the main reason why they did the brake testing of the Fortuner. One complaints was logged about the brake problems last Oct 28, 2005 wherein a furious engineer owner of Fortuner smashes his Fortuner windscreen in anger due to inability of Toyota to fix his brake problems. The brake testing was done on Dec 6, 2005 as posted by a concerned thai Fortuner user in this site. I believe there might be really a problem.This the site:http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/lofive...hp?t48410.html

At least the Toyota in Thailand, knows how to respond properly to the customer's complaint, unlike Toyota Motors Philippines, who are soooo discrete to the point of denial.

[docpete]

brakes, fuel system, what next?

i saw a fortuner and a f150 sa may imus market. both are totalled. wasak yung front right ng fortuner tapos yung f150 wasak yung front left. what an irony since ford is known to have break problems. now sa fortuner naman tsk tsk tsk.......

[pixelparadigm]

Perhaps Toyota should now start rethinking their business model especially in Thailand, and put the brand in the safekeeping of Filipino hands.

[finchy18]

too bad..

[slamtaz]

hmmm... the highly taunted imv project are showing problems and are coming out one-by-one in the open. as they say, when it rains - it pours...

[tagalnasaabroad]

one cant help thinking..
the name FORTUNER just dont lived up with some owners' expectations..imho, bhat thailander temper wont earn him a TPL claim one tinny bit..sigh..

[oldblue]

ano ba ito single isolated case lang sa Thailand or dami na

Di natin masabi kasi di nga natin intindihan ang sulat sa website na ibinigay ng concerned thai Fortuner owner. But kung titingnan mo ang result ng Fortuner brake test, di talaga maganda kasi 45% lang ang efficiency. Para sa akin, that's alarming considering the size of the fortuner. Sigurado pag tinanong na naman ang Toyota regarding this issue, ga langit naman na denial ang gagawin nila. Di ba ang bagong theme ng Toyota is "Moving forward", as seen sa mga sports sponsorship nila,bakit parang baliktad yata ang ginagawa nila

[flakez]

"moving forward", they keep on moving forward and forward and forward and forward..... blag! hehehe

[truckman]

di ba galing pa ng Thailand ang mga fortuner dito?

[paj4x4]

Yup. Fortuners sold in the Phils comes from Thailand.

Standard operating procedure na dito sa Bangkok ang pag hampas sa kotse pag di magawa ng casa or worse ayaw aminin na may problema. Imbitado pa ang press sa event.

It started last year when a relatively wealthy Thai smashed her CRV with a baseball bat (if I remember correctly) after repeated attempts to have Honda replace her car. I can't remember exactly what the complain was all about. To cut the story short she got what she wanted. Although she opted for a cash settlement instead.

[nugundam93]

omigawd omigawd.

tapos the new mitsus are also from thailand. sana this isn't an indicator of bad work quality.

"moving forward", they keep on moving forward and forward and forward and forward..... blag! hehehe

:bwahaha: :bwahaha:

Engine problems and now brake problems? It seems Toyota has scored a double whammy sa IMV project nila ano? Major and critical defects pa kung ko consider.
Well, I have worked in Thailand before for almost 4 years and I know that if a thai guy really get pissed, they are inclined to do drastic things. The smashing of a thai Fortuner owner of his windshield in anger is just a simple reaction. Some will even go to the extent of killing somebody as I've witnessed in my former company. Mabuti mabilis tumakbo yong kasama ko na "puti" dahil kung naabutan sya, totodasin talaga sya ng kasama naming thai. Mabuti na awat ng plant manager. Tanggal sila pareho.
Para sa akin, tama lang ang ginawa ng thai Fortuner owner to force Toyota to act kasi bingi ang mga Taga Toyota kaya sa action nya ginawa. Sabi nga : "Action speaks louder than words" he...he ..he. Kita mo sa pina bingi din ang Toyota. Ganyan din yata hintay ng Toyota sa pinas na scenario, smashing of their pinagmamalaking IMV vehicles with the presence of media. Tsik...tsik.. lakas ng thai Fortuner owner na yon, sya lang mag-isa.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL TSIKOTEERS AND HOPE MORE TSIKOTEERS TO COME!!!

i dont think so, hehe! tayong mga pinoy ay maingat sa gamit aside from the fact we think its market value + kng memories pa bago mo nabili.

at least for the thai, they were able to achieved what they want -- parang mga bata anoh?! pagd-naibigay ang gusto wawasakin yng gamit.
