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.

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.
