November 7th, 2013 12:01 AM #1Hi to all Strada owners!
I just wanted to share my experience regarding my Strada Brake pads.
Last June this year, I had my regular PMS at Citimotors Makati and had my brake pads changed due to wear and tear. I was given OEM brake pad set at price of P6k plus. After few days of use, I noticed squeaking sound coming from the front brakes or wheels, that happened especially with light press on brakes as in cases of having smooth stops. So I initially brought my Strada to Shell service to have my front wheels checked. We noticed that there was MISSING BRAKE PAD PLATE on one of the front brakes. So the next day, (first week of July) I returned to Citimotors to have my brake pad checked for the squeaking sound and to report that there was MISSING Brake Pad Plate. So works were done including cleaning the front brakes and "returning" or putting on the missing brake pad plate.
So nawala panandalihan yung ingay sa front wheels/brakes, at bumalik ulit yung irritating squeaking sound after few days. So on my next PMS, (September), I asked my SA kung pwede palitan na lang ng bago yung brake pad kasi maingay. He said try daw nila linisan at "hopefully" matanggal yung ingay. And so they did. But, again, bumalik ulit yung ingay sa front wheels. So again, on the 3rd week of October, I again returned my Strada to Citimotors to have my brake pads and front wheels checked for the squeaking sound. Sabi ng SA, MITSUBISHI COMPANY HAD EXPERIMENTS WITH BRAKE PADS. Sabi daw, dati malambot ang mga brake pads at madaling mapudpod, kaya they tried yung mixture ng malambot at mas matigas na material for the brake pads, KAYA DAW YUNG NAILAGAY SA AKIN eh yung bagong brake pads kaya maingay... Unfortunately, hindi na tinanggap sa warranty department and replacement nung brake pads ko kasi daw matagal ko na nagamit... Well, my history of letting them check my brakes should suffice my argument...
Anyway, my points and questions are:
-- Bakit naglalagay ang Mitsubishi (in particular Citimotors Makati) ng "not-so-good" and "under-trial" brake pads IN EXPENSE OF THE CLIENTS
kung sakaling may hindi magandang mangyari like yung squeaking sounds?
-- This is a bad service (actually a very bad service) on part of Citimotors kasi alam naman natin kung gaano kaimportante ang brakes sa atin
especially travelling long distances.
-- Pls advise me kung ano maganda gawin sa mga ganitong sitwasyon, kasi malamang hindi lang ako nakakaexperience nitong maiingay na brake
pads kasi sa daan may mga naririnig na rin ko maiingay na brakes especially sa Stradas and Montys.
-- We cannot let these things just happen, at isawalang bahala na lang kasi hindi biro ang brakes, at pati na rin yung binabayad natin (a defective
item worth P6,000+ tsk tsk!)
-- Ano ba maganda brand ng Brake Pad for Strada, aside from "Tokico"?
Salamat!
