QUOTE(MR_alien @ Aug 6 2011, 08:59 PM) thn it's quiet old and no ...proton dn't do the checking because they also know it's expensive if u really want to check...if they found have problem....would u replace??...it's very expensive so that's why most ppl will just leave it like that..leave it to luck Bottom line it is not the consumer's fault. |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Aug 6 2011, 09:09 PM) it is actually
if the airbag is install in good condition...no recall...no problem
if it pre-mature deploy and didn't deploy at all
we could only blame ourself for not checking and replacing it regularly
if i'm not wrong airbag have an "expire date" as well...after 2 year(i think)..need to replace already
and it's RM2k each....do u want to replace it??
which is why SC didn't check it...and we just leave it....leave it to luck...if lucky, it will deploy when accident despite after the 2 years Replace or not, pay or not, it is the customer's choice but it is the service centre's duty to inform. The airbag problem of older Gen2 is known problem & Proton already announced the recall for 2008 and older models. http://www.mmail.com.my/content/51622-gen2...o-recall-proton |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Aug 6 2011, 09:31 PM) ya..this one got recall but other brand like toyota and perodua sometime also got inform but their user also didn't replace it cuz it's expensive and got report also it didn't deploy or pre deploy each is around 2-2.5k each for p1 and p2...toyota ones are more expensive which is why car theft like to steal it Now we are talking about Proton. Expensive or not, it is up to the customer to judge although for Gen2 it should be replaced for free. Every 2008 & older Gen2 sent to Proton authorized service centres for car service, the airbag problem checking/replacement should be in the checklist. Otherwise we expect to see & hear more of this problem. Of course there are customers that never send their Gen2 to authorized service centre for car service after warranty period, but this is a separate matter. |

QUOTE(rickyro @ Aug 6 2011, 09:50 PM) I just sent my car for service just over a week ago at Proton Service Centre. They only did some regular maintenance That is why Proton is not doing good enough to prevent more of such cases from happening on loyal customer's Gen2 (sending their car to authorized service centre despite warranty expires). |
