as an owner of persona for more than 1mth, me my biggest problem will be d braking is so damn weak, i cant perform a sudden brake if d car in front

of me stops too fast. And d whole car is like "sampan" will easily get dizzy if drives too fast at corner(suspect d absorber kong ady cry.gif ).. I am gonna

send to SC tmr for further inspections.

What do u mean it is stucked at 3/4 ? meaning at the meter it only reach the 3 section ..cant go up anymore?
Btw what am i suppose to spot ya from the picture? sorry noob in this area
*
yeap, ur fuel gauge will not reach 'full bar' even u pump it till d petrol leaks out.. the reason is d fuel pump could not link properly to the fuel meter due

to different vendors...


BTW does anyone know where to check d warranty coverage ya? To what extend the changes of part will violate d warranty? The SC crew told me that

if i change d brake pad at other workshop then i cannot claim any warranty for brakes ady. sad.gif I was like WTF a brake pad is considered "wear & tear"

and how could a brake pad will affect the whole braking system huh? vmad.gif

would the warantty be the same as the extended waranty programme? tat's the only thing i could find.. on the net

seriously stupid dumbf**k proton..... When i encountered d brake pad got squishing sounds , i immediately sent my car to SC there and get it checked.

Then the crew told me that the brake pad is not original 1, then they introduced me Bosch Brake Pad for RM350!!! I was

like WTF i could get a MUCH better brake pad with MUCH lower price. So then i asked them whether can replace it at other workshop because brake

pad is considered "wear & tear" item and should be able to change it at other workshop without violate d warranty. Guess what? they tried to

brainwash me and telling me that "d brake pads will affect d whole braking system hence wll dmg d brake in long term, and indirectly will dmg brake

pump and blah blah(all kind of nonsense)" . I really doubt that a pair of Brake Pad could spoil d whole braking system so EASILY. doh.gif

somehow i think the proton service people they themselves are not so familiar with the waranty.. jsut to be at the safe side ... they would just say .... will void.... if they say wont void.. and u do.. then end up management say void.. they die.... so "WILL VOID" is always the easier answer
I wonder , anyone got the detailed written document on the warantty? so we can use it as reference indispute (or when we wanna get some stuff replaced outside)
*
yeah whenever i argue with them they surely say "ini procedure la bang, kami tak boleh buat apa pun..." mad.gif Gosh cakap tanpa pakai otak punya

org...

I ended up changing my brake pad secretly at other workshop... for only RM108... and d sounds disappear ever since ...

That's what happened to me last year when I was on the way to Kampar. There's this stretch were there's only 2 lanes instead of the usual 3.

Was driving about 150kmh on the right when this fella decided to switch lanes. I manage to brake in time. And the speed he was driving...

80kmh

mad.gif

Best part... he continued driving at 80kmh. ON THE RIGHT LANE!!!  doh.gif
