I bought a 2nd hand, 2014 Subaru XV from Carsome in June 2024. Hoping for problem-free car, if anything can claim from Carsome 1-year warranty. After purchase, did servicing & changed steering rack & driveshaft (paid RM4.5k). First 3 months, got no issue. Then problems started coming non-stop. In Sept, engine overheat. Did top overhaul (paid RM2.9k, claimed RM2.8k from Carsome warranty). Less than 3 days after collected car, the engine light came on again. This time changed sensor & timing chain (paid RM3.8k). Less than a week after collecting the car, once again, the engine light came on. This time, got clanking sound from the engine bay & the car started losing power while driving. Workshop said sound from engine valve cover, need complete engine overhaul. Is this considered a lemon car or wear & tear? What should I do? Can I somehow get Carsome to take back this lemon car? Or is there a chance that my workshop is taking me for a ride? All & any advice are much appreciated.

Bought a 2nd hand, 2014 Subaru XV from Carsome (RM35k). Thought I will have minimal issues, if anything can claim Carsome 1-year warranty. Barely 3 months in & the car is at workshop more than on the road. First had to change the steering rack & drive shaft (paid RM4.5k). Then came the top overhaul (paid RM2.9k, RM2.8k claimed under Carsome warranty). Then timing chain & sensor (paid RM3.8k). Less than a week out of workshop from the last repair & car started having clanking sound from the engine bay before losing power while driving on the road. Mechanic said sound is from engine valve cover, need complete overhaul. Seems like I've been sold a lemon car by Carsome. Is it possible to demand for full refund from Carsome? Or is there a possibility that my mechanic screwed up & squeezing me for maximum revenue here? What should I do here? I'm a complete noob when it comes to car. Any & all advice are very much appreciated.

Anyone has bad experience at Lim Tayar? I sent my car in Nov 2023 for normal service and upon return the car was in a bad condition.

I have a Freightliner Diesel truck and someone put sugar in my tank. I didn't realize for a couple of days and now I am having issues and I've changed my fuel pump along with my tank and still in the side of the road. What do I need to look for at this point??

A question for fellow X50 owners. Are the issues with spare parts availability really that bad? A few neighbours and relatives own them and they don’t seem to be complaining. All they say is that only the X70 has the issue and the problems reported in media are wild card examples. Your responses are much obliged.

I have a perodua ativa, got it 21st April 2021. I'm having the exact msg as in the picture. It's shared by another person who has an ativa too. My ativa was jerking with these msgs on my dash. Sent to SC Kota Kemuning Shah Alam and its been more than a week. They tried changing the spark plugs and the coil plugs too, reset the programming but none worked. They don't have any idea what's the problem till now. Only on Thursday they are getting a technician to come to check which would be 2 weeks.

Recently I am driving a BMW X1. During traffic jam, I feel the power doesn't come instantly when I step on the accelerator, but when the power decides to come I already need to stop. I don't have this problem in my Perodua Myvi.
