Problem encountered

So far my Isis gave me 2 problems after driving it for about 2 months. The first problem is with the air conditioning, while the 2nd problem is with the ABS system. Both are not serious problem, of which I can take it back to Mofaz service center to fix it.

Air Conditioning

The problem with the A/C is that the temperature is not working. When I took it to Mofaz for a checkup, the compressor, oil pressure, and gas pressure are all in good condition. Yet, even with all these, the air conditioning still doesn't work. Then the mechanic check the fuse, and it seems that all are in good condition. But after he put back all the fuses, the air conditioning starts to work again. So, the possible cause could be that the fuses are loosen. I don't know what could be the possible cause for this, probably I've been driving too much on a bumpy road?

ABS System

It just happened today. While I was driving back to work, I saw the ABS light on the dash board lighted. I quickly took it to Mofaz for a checkup, but because the mechanic don't have time to do it today, I have to take it to somewhere else. My last resort is to take it to Vision car servicing center. They are the specialists in Toyota imported cars. Although it's late, they have a lot of staff that could attend to. They helped me to diagnose the ABS by using a diagnosis machine, and found out that the ABS switch at the brake pedal is spoiled. The staff made a remark that for my new car, that things seems pretty early to spoiled. For the whole service, I have to pay RM169.70 including diagnose and part changing. It's pretty expensive but yet it's efficient.

It is to be noted that the ABS system can be spoiled even in new car. The staff told me that they have experienced before that a new car would encounter the ABS problem the next day after the owner acquired it from the dealer.

Conclusion

Well, electronic devices are pretty easy to spoil if they are not used for a long period of time, which is a fact that I could accept. So, just have to be patient and sacrifice a bit.
