Has anyone here encounter noise problem with their Viva, especially when trying to slow down (by pressing the brake), and come to stop? The noise can be 'ka ka ka', or even like something loosening, like at the front bottom right side? The noise usually is not there when the car is cold, but after running a short while, I guess after the car has warmed up, the noise can be heard when car slows down to stop.

I have sent the car to Perodua SC, and was told it's drive shaft problem, and has changed it, not once, but two times. It would be ok for about 2 months before the noise is back. The SC people said it's a known problem. I don't see much discussion about this problem. Just wanted to know if it is only my car, or what?

Appreciate any of your sharings.
Thanks.

this was a famous problem with 'Kancil' thought perodua have rectified the problem when viva rolled out.. but?

hi, ur case same as me like perodua SC said the driveshaft will changed to new ELITE viva model driveshaft but until now I dont receive any call from them, but the sound like from our disc brake clipper, something not "ketat" pls check braking system maybe havin failure over there...who knows.....perodua....

In fact I have changed the drive shaft 2 times already. The 2nd time didn't make the noise go away but make it more noise. The minute I was out of the SC and get the noise, I went back and ask the them why problem not fixed and let me drive the car away. They didn't tell me problem not fixed also. Then told me need to change mounting la. And order part needs to wait. To and back with them, and the waiting. I left car over night there and they didn't do anything, and the next day told me no parts. I got futious and complaint to Perodua customer care. Straight away they call me back and said managed to get the part. Anyway, ther takes a couple more days and finally fixed. And they told me it's temporary, after a while the noise will come back.

Told me that I don't have to do anything, they will call me. That was back in Oct 2009. Until now I never get their call. And now the famous noise is back again!

What can we do? Can't they do a better job, to get our continue support for Malaysian car ah?? Disappointed.

Well that is not a welcoming news.I hope it doesnt happen to my families newly bought Viva Basic cause I am starting to hear clipping noise at the back wheel sometimes but not always

Hey, guys...
Sometimes when i was driving the car...
some noises will come out from the right hand side of dashboard
the noises sound like "tatata" or "kakaka"
some some like metal hits
and it will only occur when the rpm is low
and around at 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear
i had sent it to sc nearby my house for few times...
but the problem still cannot be solved
and those noises will not always occur, only sometimes
and anyone of you has the same problem with me?
may share the way to solve it?
thanks

if change at PSC for the driveshaft problems since under waranty, is it FOC???

I had this prob, told the SC mid last year, they said they'd call me back when the replacement driveshaft is ready. Waited quite long and made a few calls. Then finally somewhere in November they called me up, and they replaced it for me, FOC. Its been fine since then, no more annoying noise.

I have the exact same problem with my newly bought Viva Elite. I am at the service centre now for regular car servicing and I told them about this brake sound. The guy told me I am not the only one complaining and Perodua "sedang menyiasat masalah ini". LOL.

"sedang menyiasat masalah ini"

In other words, it means there is no solution to your problem. U hv to be patience.
I m sure it's some manufacturing defects.

sorry off topic a bit..
just wanna know which viva model use solid disc for front disc brake? izzit viva 850 also solid disc? (viva 660 confirm lor)

just wondering if this is a common problem
why p2 never recall their car?

i guess man power is their issue..
normally when u go SC service .. u already have to make booking and the que is normally quite long.
Imagine they do recall ... others service will have to que for few months?

my fren has tis prob too... hmm.. since it's such a common problem, perodua shud do a recall...

My 2 years old Viva also facing the same problem... the odd sound "ka ka ka" are always annoying. I hv sent it few time to SC.. but after 2month.. the odd sound said Hello to me again... =(

Man! I thought Perodua has improved. I guess I was wrong.

izzit happen to all model of viva? even elite? manual or auto?

I believe at least all 1.0 model use the same drive shaft.

i had this problem twice.. first problem change drive shaft fix d.. now 1 month later the noise is back. this time they say is the brake caliper.. waiting to fix this week.... sigh

hey guy~
this problem already solve???
cause my VIVA ELITE AUTO also got this problem~(this year just buy)
i go to SC claim this drive shaft part already few month~(they also say is drive shaft problem and all Malaysia no stock to claim need wait)
no any call form them~
