haiya wat so big deal about door handle broken wor..
i all door handle made out from plastic.. plastic will break after hot wet condition in few years..
metal also will get rusty.. this wan plastic.. sure will get hard.. pull mai break lor..
for waja 35-40 each door handle.. gen2 i not sure..
hopefully my door handle dun break la.. if wanna break please break in warranty year.. (choi choi, touch wood... )

nvm lar, time to upgrade to sedan

This is normal problem. My fren change about 5 handles already in 2 years time... Hai.... Proton....

Fuiyo door handle broke also wanna make a thread...complain to SC lah!!

It's not a big problem, as long as it's isn't ur Engine, gearbox, sensors and brakes giving problem....those will cost u a nuclear bomb.

1 door handle for 2 years...no need to be so furious...

No doubt Proton quality is low....just complain to proper channel.

i think its equally important u complain here n complain in sc. consumer rights dude. judging by posts, we know a few ppl in this thread also have their door handles broken.

if complain here,.. at leasst maybe we know what cars to avoid right? if u just complain to sc , who the f will know this car is problematic?.. the sc wont publish in newspaper :sorry, our car got lousy handles, pls take into consideration this defect when u buy 2nd hand gen2.

yeah yeah i know door handle is nothing big, but being informed is better than being uninformed.

like if for example nobody complain bout kia car fc high, etc.. u think who wont buy kia?..cheap n nice looking too.

i mean, like someone said, if its true lah, this 2006 model gen2 gives alot of problem. this helps ppl from buying gen2 2006 at high price. dude, sharing is caring. why defend proton? ...i mean, u wanna help them make profit off u meh?.. lol.

i know, sometimes bashing is also senseless bashing(when nothing happens,like a new car launching, but proton keep kena bash), but pls dont put down ppl who wanna share lah.. zzz

I dun really think TS's intention to bring up this thread is mainly for bashing Proton. Even door handle is not a big issue but still its a way showing that proton should actually taking into consideration when they are selecting their material used for the car making. So if u said car handle broken is nothing...how if your car key broken into 2 pieces after 2 years? will this still consider "bearable" for u?

Looking at the pics, from what i can make out, proton seems to be using some cheap plastic for the handles instead of alloys

Well, used to happen on my Wira last time, the front and rear door handle broke as the plastic became brittle and Proton blamed me for parking under the hot sun for too long. Gosh ....... like that also can. Everything also blame me. Each door handle costs RM35 each and that's not as worst as the power windows, they failed after a year.

Bro...u should told them " only if im living in genting highland and cameron highland then i wont be parkign my car under hot sun for long period"

"Proton Gen2....Kebanggan malaysia......NOT" - Borat learning Malaysia car!

Honestly, Genting and Cameron are not as cool as last time anymore. That's a silly excuse from Proton themselves. Like my friend's case, his Iswara's radiator burst. You won't believe what they asked him. You ada tuang terlalu banyak air ke dalam radiator itu kah? Itu penutup ada ketat? Aiyo ....... I fainted when they asked my friend this question as if my friend never touched a car before.

The newly launched Proton i-Care didn't impress me at all, they're still the same people with better looking uniforms.



Borat will probably tell you that Proton Juara looks like the mini van he drove in the movie.

ya, ur fault ... also Power Window problem, who ask u open it when pay toll, just open the door and pay lar, then no PW error d ...

tat's y my iswara no pw problem after 4 years

Venux... which batch is urs? mine is last batch of 2004 or the last batch doesn't come with the rear spoiler... there is a unique way to keep the handle good in condition... that is.... put ur thumb on that key lip area... and pull out... is alot easier to open... atleast mine work well *touch wood*

indeed i agree the car material is not really good but den.... a vios which is much expensive CKD car not that good as well....

Imagine if the new launch car suddenly the door handle broke when Prime minister open the car... Hehehehe.. Sure proton will be very embarrassed one.

Then they will say " PM, you shouldnt exercise too much, you are an old man !"
