the result of mending the rattles

Since I posted the complaint that smart car was indurable enough to generate creaks on unpaved road, I entrusted the local dealer with mending my smart.

The mechanics accounted for to me that the some filter inside passenger side wall was loose as the cause of the rattle and the door latches including back hatch were readjusted. Ridiculously, the main problem of mine was creak noise from the driver side~!!!!
As a result, it seemed to me that smartcar are inherently not trimed. Because I bought my own smartcar 3 months ago, it run 3000miles sp far. I strongly suggest to you that you should struggle with dealerships while you learning your smartcar.

I am likely uncomfortable until I clear out all potential defects. Rather, if Toyota IQ is imported from Japan, the smartcar will be less competitive. the Smart car should be more refined as it is run from factory.

One more thing, unless you seize rear wheels with fully parking brake on downward incline(don't pull up side barke to somehow degrees, pull it up as fully as you can), the smart car will be rolled downward in distance a half of wheel, and the gear must be tied up to parking position. Next, the car can't be gear-shifted to Drive position.

In my case, in order to repair stuck transmission, the mechanic reprogrammed the engine operation software to the recent version according to that he stated it was recently upgraded.

Be careful on parking at the hill. In reference, the operating software of the engine seems recently upgraded.
