Did you hear the engine crank or not?

Honestly, it would be easier for you to just find a mechanic to help you out.

When I spoke to the CoE fella, he told me it's ok to wait till the mileage is completed. Up to you if you think the fella can be trusted. But if you choose to wait out the mileage, don't too melebih lar. Don't wind up waiting till 6 months or something like that. lol.

No warning whatsoever, it's been two days already. I cannot even start the engine. The door also only can be opened manually. I'm calling the SC later. So sad my new car already got problem.

Thanks for the advices.

you need to open door manually using key? means alarm not working? if yes, most probably your car's battery is out

battery out,man.u din off the headlamps?

Battery failure very common for BLM/FL. Now even FLs?
My bro-in-law's BLM SE battery failed within 1st week of use in town!! Called SC & threatened to go public via media! SC mechs came & changed batt on the spot!! Phew!

My own batt also came with loose +ve terminal!! Luckily I did my own checking after delivery AND tightened it...or else I wld hv been stranded very soon after! Radiator coolant & w/shield washer water also much below Max level (still ok tho - in no danger of car failure)
Felt all these due2 POOR Pre-Delivery inspection service carried out, if any!!!

Feel we must hv basic knowledge of car parts & functions so can carry out our own chks when need to. True?

Take a look at this guys

no cranking sound....no electronic works?...right?
i've this problem...the answer/solution is easy
tighten something at the back of the battery...there's something loose there

the battery +ve terminal point is loosen at 1st because those car is delivered to store and put there for many days before deliver to customer... (told by my salesman)

on the day i got my car, the salesman, open the engine bonnet and tighten up for me before pass the car to me... very responsible salesman.

BAD Publicity for Proton! Gonna affect trust, confidence & subsequently sales...

Mayb MORE such cases shld b highlighted by media cos then Proton might wake up from its slumber & owners wld b better served!!

yes...the terminal is loose...which is why suddenly it would go OFF...completely off
and the battery also they cannot be sure ...since they put it in the store and never start it
when a cust bought it..then only it started which no one know how long didn't start already
surely the batt is kinda near kong
and the funny thing is....when i have that problem..the SC worker..all don;t know what is wrong...check here and there

Proton should take immediate action to find out the solution, and announce to all FLX's user to send their car to replace the faulty or defect part...

* anyhow, the person who report this too much because used the wrong sentence, 'bertakung air' seem like the whole car flooded but just only the carpet area...

i will go to Kesas SC to repair my engine oil leaking problem once reached 5k service due..
will report to media if the service turn out bad..

ps. All cars hv faults...only either minor or major. Wat's more important is the After-Sales Service Network!! So that's Proton's "Achilles Heel"!

Are FLX/FL headlights are usually hot when on?

Mine is and i'm afraid it will drain much of the battery chemical energy due to energy being lost in form of light and heat. Normal or not?

Ok..so i just got back from Proton Center.. ordered the rear bumper and it cost me RM500 including labour charge and paint.. BLM bumper abit cheaper can get around RM400 for everything.. Havent fix it cause they need to order and paint the bumper before place it on my car..

Yeah, i think this is a common thing done by the re-seller/distributor....one guy in Inspira thread have the same problem, the connectors are loosed when delivered because the SA never tighten it back. So check your batteries connectors when u receive ur car!!!

headlight is hot?
isn't that normal?...a bulb is normally hot when it's ON
it isn't those power saving bulb

More dramatic mah... ...hmm...seems like lots of issues with new Saga FLX... Proton should have handle the case more seriously. After went public then only try to fix problem....even if problem is fixed, reputation already tarnished.

What was meant is the lamps are hotter compared to other cars i.e Exora,City etc. If its normal ok then, just seemed to be hotter than usual, then again I never drove cars with similarly large lamps.

i don't think flx got problem for me... for those FLX user which suffer some problem, maybe is their luck, getting the faulty/defect part among the 1 over thousand/million car out there

i think this is normal because FL/FLX headlight is being designed in sharp and fierce look, while the headlight's reflector in it is effectively designed to reflect the light more brighter to the road, that's why we feel hot (same as the concept where we use magnify glass under the sun)...
