Don't they build things that are meant to last these days?! A few months ago I was complaining about the power windows of my now demised Honda Civic, which were malfunctioning just a few months after it was purchased. And now, after just two months, there's something wrong with my Toyota Altis! The radio, which is very essential to me--- it keeps me awake when I'm sleepy, It helps me release tension when I'm pissed, it plays songs that I could sing along with when I'm bored... is malfunctioning! A month after using the car, I noticed that the radio changed radio stations when I turn the steering wheel too hard. I figured there was a glitch in the electrical system, but since such an occurrence could be avoided, I just ignored it. The real problems started about a month ago. All of a sudden, the CD player would eject all CDs even when I'm not doing anything. At first I thought I just accidentally pressed the controls on the steering wheel, but then it happened again when my hands were off the wheel. It didn't happen for about week, so I dismissed it as an isolated glitch. But then it started doing the same thing again--- this time more frequently! And to make matters worse, sometimes the radio would suddenly turn itself off! Then this afternoon, i couldn't even turn the damn radio on! Argh!
Good thing the customer service of Toyota is prompt. They would replace the radio with no additional fee as soon as I bring the car to their service center. It's just so annoying when glitches happen in something that you've just purchased. Either they don't manufacture things like the way they did in the old days, or I'm just extremely unlucky when it comes to cars.
