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~

I have the same drive shaft problem of ketat ketat sound like you all. After I did wheel balancing and alignment by Perodua dealer. There is no more sound, may be a little bit, very minor. Perodua Service Centre says they will replace a new drive shaft for me under warranty. I just wonder how the mechanic judge correctly or not.

it must be lusty handling ... tyre spin perhaps.hhaha

ur car is auto or manual??
when u buy that car??
already help u change drive shaft?

under warranty only will they give FOC?? alamak..how long was the warranty?
mine 2 years plus still not fix le...or already out of warranty?

my wife viva elite have the same problem....

1) drive shaft "kakaka" sound when slowing down
2) dashboard nearby the glove box there got rattling sound when idling...
3) rear left side abs got "kruk" sound when going over uneven road
4) when brake apply..got rattling sound at caliper there
5) when turn on the car headlamp...radio giving whistle sound upon accelerating...

all the problem above solve except for no 2...

1) change new drive shaft..waited for 2 months...using for a year now...
2)they claim the screw to hold the ECU to the mounting loose..but they tighten ady still got sound after few weeks....its been a year ady too...
3)change only 1 side of the abs...causing the other side got"kruk" sound ady
4)change the brake caliper pin..
5)change new radio....

how long is the warranty actually? even elite got such prob, then I think mine is worst than this since i got the ealier batch of viva...

sm1 promise to call me back regarding the shaft prob but it's been 1 year plus nw...i wonder if it's still under warranty...sucks to hv this prob unsolved

my wife car warranty is 7 years....

I tell you what..u go to perodua website and email them under the complain...your complain will reach to HQ...HQ people will call you...you then direct deal will HQ people...push and pressure them...it took 1 week to complain and 2 months for the claim...after that...all my wife viva claim for warranty is extreme fast..like got VIP treatment...FYI my wife viva service at Taman Bahagia PJ branch....u go there and ask for Bryan...

hey thanks for the info...but my concern is that I dont have any second car to commute around if I'm to send it for the repair..

but thanks anyway!

I have the same problem, hearing the "knocking sound" coming from the front of the car.
The noise comes when i accelerate as from 2nd to 3rd, 4th and 5th gear.
The sound worsens when taking a curving section on the road.
All sorts of part replaced, including shock-absorber-mounting rubbers (they seems to be of low quality anyways) but the sound did not go away.
So if replacing all the possible parts outside the gearbox does not solve the problem, there's only one more option left.
Considering the fact it makes more noise when turning either left or right, it only can be the bearings inside the gearbox.
Those bearings are from such low quality that a slight impact (hole in the road) can damage those bearings and cause the knocking sound to occur while accelerating or slowing down as this creates the greatest force on such bearings.
Refurbishing the gearbox is not really an option as this is expensive.

Before service everything seems perfect. When mileages comes to 20,000km, I;m quickly go to Perodua SC for maintenance service.

After the services, u knoe whut happen? Viva got sound "kruk kruk kruk" when pressing brake ( during slow ). Arhhhhhhhhhhhh tensen tensen..........

Since I'm survey this kind of problem, someone please advise me whut to do?

1) do minor skimming at disk brake or
2) replace drive shaft ( arrh need to wait ? )
3) other options?

helppp helppp

my viva elite ezi auto has the same problem when slowing down and braking. my mom's myvi has the same issue too, and louder. i've also complained abt this prob to Perodua during each service. they always said they've fixed it but i just feel that the brake feels a bit tighter. the "kruk kruk kruk" sound is still there.

I also encounter the problem above. When my car first few year buy dint have any problem, but on the third year then the sound tatata comes out when you accelerating the car, even sometime it will happens on idling engine. But this sound not comes out always. It's like metal hits. Send to Perodua Center, the technician says maybe engine knocking or many carbon sticks at the combustion chamber. So he try to flush out the carbon out but the sounds still there.

The other one is the brake braking. When I drive around 90-120km/h and applies brake force to it, the sound kruk kruk kruk kruk. Don't know whether is the drive shaft problem or not. And haven't send to Perodua Center to check for this problem yet.

Does anyone encounter the same problem to me? Pls share the way to rectified it.

WHAT?!! Viva has drive shaft? i thought it's FWD?!!

Friend, if don't have drive shaft how car can move?

FWD or RWD also have driveshaft. Just different kind of driveshaft.

all cars have driveshaft. If not, how is the car going to move?

oic... ahahahahah, i've been crazy about cars (no one could beat me when comes to arguing about cars). but today just to know all cars has shaft!!

FR cars have longshaft, while FF car have driveshaft.. but some FR also got driveshaft n longshaft

ahaahahahhaha thanks for the correction, i gotta dig a hole hide, very embarrassing aahahahahahaa

no need la bro.. we all just discussing here, as long as u can accept the fact its ok.. me too sometimes got wrong idea

Hi, I have owned a Viva too and I have experienced this problem too since I drove it. It have my concern too but after I discovered that Viva have a safety feature called "Brake Pedal Intrusion". Maybe the voice and the vibration came from this safety feature? To me I'm not sure about it but is not wrong to share opinion, right?

Hi guys recently bought a used viva 2007 EZ auto 1.0 Facing two probs.

1. While taking uturn left or right hear tuk tuk sound from steering
2. Sometimes when i press brake or let go of brake i hear a kruk sound from engine

Hope you can help. Thanks in advance

hello to all, problem with my viva may any people here can give opinion??
ViVA auto 2009
Everything seem ok until last month after I hit into a hole on the road..
Send to workshop , change rim from 13" to 14" since it is old & seriously dented.
Problem arise later -
- steering trembling became obvious
- can feel the obvious vibration.
Go to another workshop change mounting engine OEM japan. but problem persist. every time from slow to fast 40km/j to 80km/j can feel car body trembling sound.
get another opinion & change back Ori set mounting engine. issue didn't solve. still have trembling sound when accelerating.
Was ask to check air-cond compressor bcoz the sound most obvious if air cond is on during driving. turn off air cond. the sound is very minimal.
Go check at air-cond shop. say compressor is function normal.
- have been to 3 workshop - all gv different opinion & suggest try& error
