Hhondafit 1st Gear April 10, 2017 Share April 10, 2017 I went to C&C , they said it's normal. They said if it's stiff then something is wrong. Funny right. The Mechanic jammed e-brake and the car stopped. He says no problem.Ask for a test drive with the mech on their test drive car. Sbow him the difference. Cant be the pedal to the floor during normal braking is normal. Or go outside workshop to get second opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still a distance from the floor. Just that I feel that it's spongy and depress too much. But he said normal driving won't depress so much. Bro u try depress pedal hard till it cannot be depressed. Is the pedal very low? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the pedal very low?Its true that we wont depress alot during normal driving. You said the pedal almost travel down to the floor during normal driving if i didnt read wrongly. If i read correctly, then its really not normal. Tomorrow i try and get back to u again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blublak 3rd Gear April 10, 2017 Share April 10, 2017 Standard is to flush every 40k. Mine spongy and travel to floor when car is stationary. But braking power still there. Try pressing brake when car is not moving. travel to floor when car is stationary? your engine off or on? if off definitely after few depress will be soft. but after engine on, the brake will harden back to normal with freeplay. wats your mileage now? have C&C checked your brake pads during servicing? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tot it should be engine off pedal become hard? Start engine become soft. My mileage 19,000 and done 20k servicing, C&C serviced the brakes. Brake fluid still on factory pour as the servicing menu only replace brake fluid at 40k. Maybe the factory pour is not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilasan21 Clutched April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 Wow u clock 1k in 1.5wks, guess u travel alot:-) i got the car around the same time as u and im still less than 300km. Do share how the servicing is like after u are done!Gave it for 1k servicing today. Returned back the key after an hour as if everything was ok. Went to drive off. Luckily I have a habit of circling car everytime before getting in to make sure ed erything is ok. Found a big scratch in the front bumper. Totally disappointed. When I asked about it the service assistant was trying to say it was my fault. But they didn't have a case since luckily I didn't drive out before noticing. Said they will repaint and give. Accidents happen. They could've just owned up to it and said they will rectify rather than to expect us customers to not notice and drive off. Once out they can always say we hit the car. Very disappointed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilasan21 Clutched April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 (edited) Went all the way to pandan even though ubi is nearest for me.Anyway. They didn't say they won't rectify. But by not pointing out the damage they did they lost my trust. Hopefully they can redeem themselves with proper rectification. As I said earlier accidents happen no matter how careful you are. Don't blame them for it. But should have taken ownership of it and said will rectify. Rather than I pointing it out and then taking it up. Anyway don't take this as the guide to evaluate their performance. Ithe might be a one off incident. Just make sure u check car before and after servicing Edited April 11, 2017 by Dilasan21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbluepica 2nd Gear April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 Omg. I have bad experience with Ubi too. Once I checked in my car in the night wanted to rectify radiator leak. Next morning they called say no time to do. For breakdown they won't entertain also. I made a big complain and the manager from Leng Kee told me go to Alexandra next time.
