Hi, my young baby was diagnosed with steering coupling problem but I was told that there is no stock and they have to order and redo another day when I sent for 5K servicing?
What is steering coupling? Affect safety?
Thanks all.
-
mine also, waiting for the stock to come & change.
diagnostic: if you can hear tok tok sound when turning the steering.
-
I too faced this problem and voice out during my 30k svc but have to wait 2 to 3wk coz no stock. Luckily the stock came in within 5day and i got it changed.
Don't need wait for ur 5k svc juz tell TCM to change asap when stock arrive. They don't keep stock for this and if u wait till ur 5K svc they tell u no stock then u have to wait again.

This seems to be a common problem with Latio.
I guess many must be having their steering coupling changed, resulting in no stock at Tan Chong.

Just to confirm, the tok tok sound happens all the time? Mine sometime have only...especially when i m slow speed and turning the steering slowly.....does this means tat it is a problem? I tot this is normal as my previous ride, altis, also like tat....

I changed my steering coupling in Jan 08, complainted again in Jun08 becos i can hear the tok tok sound coming back again but its very faint. TC svc guy went with me for test drive. Luckily he also heard it. I told him if it can only last for 6 months, not fair to me becos my warranty cease in Mar09. He told me that he will change steering shaft this time.
When I collected my car, they returned the piece of abt 1m long steering shaft in my car. :thumbsup:

Mine only can be heard during slow turning especially during parking.

I have not experienced this "tok tok" sound in my Latio steering yet (touch wood), so those who have expereinced it may be in a better position to advise you. :smile:
-
Common problem for latio. I've changed my twice already, 1st time during my 10K and the 2nd time 20K plus. According to the foreman, its because latio has an electric steering and once the sound can be heard, need to change the coupling. Well, i guess every car in the market has flaws including continental cars. No car is perfect. Just live with it and enjoy ur ride as much as u can... ;D

Gulp**** :( :( Mine has this sound since the first day i got my car and i tot it is normal....********...i just went for 5k servicing...maybe get them to check it at next servicing. What will happen if left unchecked? What are the effects and tell-tale signs?
-
I've got mine change for 6 times & still come back the same.
The seventh time they change the whole steerling shaft but still the same after 3 mths time. SIGN.........warrenty over already so must bear with it already. So far nothing happen except the sound only. :smile:
-
kao... my previous ride got this tok tok sound only after 3yrs abt 70,000km.
I wonder whether will latio's coupling last 5yrs?
-
mine is waiting for the parts to come and this is the 2nd time liao.
-
wah so many such case... and i'm getting my latio sports soon...
btw just to ask, how long will it take to change the coupling? is it a simple task or need to do a lot of dismantling? if i dun mind the tok tok sound, will there be any safety implication?
thanks ar..
-
Should not have any safety implications ba, just very annoying to hear sounds from new car! :nonod:
The law mandate all car manufactures/importer to do a recall if safety is a concern. Correct?

My stock came but just lazy to bring my car down for changing.

For me, it happen as what is mentioned by burnolise plus when the road surface is not flat.
Anyone can advise whether anything is wrong pls?

i tink latio steering coupling is weak in design so after a series of fast turn , high speed turns hor the coupling will ups lorry.example mscp.....so ask u all 1 questions ur tok sound is left or right then tok??i guess hor mostly is right hand side then tok left seldom will kena unless u treat ur latio like sock car lol.due 2 the everyday usage of more sharp right turns hor , n sme maybe like 2 turn fast , so tis coupling will ups damn fast . mine also ups liao but lazy 2 go change ........cause as u c its a long lasting problem.change or no change hor no issue 1, but the sound to some ppl can be damn irritating :) im si bar (dead meat), hear 4 1 yr liao .....

Hm.mm.....didn't pay attention if turn right then tok or turn left then tok.....but i didn't really find it irritating lar......like i said, my previous ride, altis, also like tat...so i used to it liao....
-
ohh... liek that ar... not so bad... cos i dun like a new car to keep going hospital to change this and that sial. i'll see if mine is affected.
-
jus 1 tink 2 take note guys if urs a new car.....when cornering dun push the limits by going corner at a higher speed, car park also gradualy wif minimal speeding , that should last ur coupling lor, 4 lacer hor i tink change car lah lol
-
actually ar... those tok tok tok sound you guys toking abt reminds me of drive shaft up lorry.. or both are refering to the same thing? drive shaft... steering coupling.... :blured:
-
I also got tok tok sound. Just went TCM last saturday and was told no stock. Got to wait 10 weeks (wah lau eh.... more than 2 months leh). Must be seriously short of the part man. That guy said safety not compromised, just sound only. Dunno how true.

Hi Jazz,
Looks like you got to go down twice, since they got no stock. Really sian. When stock arrive, still must go there and wait a couple of hours.

I went Toa Payoh last saturday. Thought of calling BT to see if it has stock so that I don't have to wait so long.

Hmm.m....u mean they can't check for you to see which brach of service center got stock? Wah lau.....lousy service like tat lei....

Stock is usually held at Toa Payoh branch.. if one branch is out.. all the rest will be too.. mine is on back order.

That means the only solution is to WAIT. No choice la.

Wait till next year wor, no joke. :(

Wait to do? Sigh. Today called up that guy. He claimed that the new stock coming are the "improved" ones which will last longer. Unlike the previous batch where it gives problem again within a few months. If so, perhaps worth the wait and hope that it can last longer.

Hi Jazz, Just an update. TCM called me to say stock arrived liao and no need to wait till next year. Had changed it already. Now no more that irritating tok tok sound, feel going up and down MSCP smoother and more comfortable.

Hi HC,
Thanks for the great news !! Will be there either next week or just before Christmas. :thumbsup:

Dear all,
Does anyone has any update on this subject matter? I realised my steering got this tok tok sound when turning. Read from here that Latio is plagued with this steering tok-tok problem.
Does TC use the "improved version" of the coupling now?
Thanks.

I think your problem seems a little different (and more serious) from what most of us here are experiencing. Our tok tok sound comes when we turn our steering, for e.g maneuvering in MSCP or parking etc. It is just the sound and nothing else. But yours come with loss of power. Better send in to TCM to check...
In fact your description fits what my colleague is experiencing with his honda city. He send in to KM and they ask him to change the whole CVT gearbox = 10k approx? *sweat*

I am not a veteran is this ah, but if it is under warranty, faster send in to TCM to check. I just bought a used latio and after driving for few days, i already single out all the problems and I already made appointment to send my car in tomorrow. Mine got 1 year warranty left.
If you got mod your car.... i dunno.... I first time buy nissan car... dunno TCM lenient a not :ohmy:
-

Hi, how old is your friend's honda? (Trying to see the life span of CVT.) Thks.
-

Ok, i got some common problems (as with other Lations) like steering coupling spoil (tok tok sound when turning), aircon not cold even i set to 23 degrees, rattling sound from dash board.
Other problems like coolant below half marking (which i dunno how it happen coz the prev owner send it in for servicing at 38k and when i bought over the car it is only 41k.
The most headache thing is that the audio unit is spoilt!!! CD stuck inside cannot eject!!! TC says the audio unit warranty over and there will be charges, and need to send to Japan to repair! :ohmy:

I also think it is a bit "kua zhang" to send it to japan to repair for the audio unit....how much does tat stuck CD cost?? If it is not very expensive, then not worth it at all..... ::)
-
I'm another victim of this tok tok sound during parking. I will consolidate all the problems (steering coupling, dashboard rattling, changing of rim) during my 5K service. Wonder whether one day can get it done?
-

depending on the repair cost,the dealer who sold me the car will pay for it.
alternatively he prposed buy a new Kenwood HU n he pay half the cost. but my CD changer at the back is JVC one leh.. like that can work?
Can someone give some suggestions? Or recommend a reliable audio shop to rectify the problem?

I just sent car in to TC BT.
For the steering coupling part,they have no stock so need to wait...
For those sound related issue,u need to be with the mechanic go for test drive n test together. if lucky, can solve in one day..
-
Can I check with those who faced steering coupling problem which I believe I am facing now.
Does the TOK TOK sound occur specifically only at slow speed, eg when you are moving off and you turn left/right, and when parking your car, and you turn the steering wheel?
-
Your problem same as mine...
got the problem when car was 1mth old !!! :crying: hilited the problem to TC during 1K servicing...they jz lubricate, hilited again during 5K ...told by them part rectified not replace., within an hour came back again.. :mad:. Called TC and informed them this was not accpetable., ask me to make appt to chg the part. Now ok...but still hv very slight tok tok sound and steering wheel position is not centre when car is straight ( shoody workmanship). Now car 8mths old...jz wait till next servicing to make the steering centre.
IMO either the coupling got design problem or not fixed properly during installation.
Jz that i had chg countless steering couplings during my ns time as veh mech.

ya, mine very obvious when slow turn and parking. Changed mine 6 months ago, the problem come back again. Going to make noise to TCM next week to rectify all my problem:
1) Steering coupling
2) Engine belt/dashboard/door noise
3) Car body slant to right side
4) Windscreen solar firm bubble
5) During slow moving especially traveling over immigration checkpoint, got this 'oooo' sound.

Mine already changed 4 times from under warranty till now no more warranty still changing..
Each time they tell me not enough lubricant at the joint..
One day, I got fed up of same explanation and scolded the manager in front of all nissan drivers..
Simply scolded if the lubricant wear out so fast then you guys must have put very little in the first place.
Is the the service TC is providing..
But after much checking, they decided to change the sterrling joint and coupling..
Very disappointed with Nissan cars..
No more Nissan cars for me..

So after they changed the parts did the problem come back?
