it's normal..everyone here have that prob
this only happens when your car is new...the gearbox is overheating
stop by the side...rest it for a while...thn start it
everyone here has no problem starting it after cooled down

solution...send your car back to SC to add that extra hose, CVT pump..etc...got recall

I just drive my car for not more than 5 minutes....is it will cause overheating?
I stop beside highway (feel dangerous) and turn off engine for 5-10minutes, restart also can't move, the warning light still on.

Send back to SC really can solve the gearbox problem? How was your car condition? After service everything alright?

ur flx is the 1st batch?
did you send service for the recall? (clutch oil pump + fuel hose)
mine just clocked 1150++km, so far so good (1st batch+recalled = wait a month after booking )

clutch oil pump recall, tat part got failure perhaps...

i dn't drive FLX but plenty that drives FLX here
2 reason this happen so far
1.overheating...there are members here pushing their car till 165KM/H
2.the gearbox is new...respond from members here say it only happen ONCE...mostly around 1k mileage
after it happen once...they stop aside...wait awhile..start it back...until now never happen again

and there are a few recalls if u see a few page back
got CVT pump, clutch adaption, fuel hose, extra CVT cooling hose
all that solves the problem
if u say cannot start back....probably is ECU problem?...usually they will reset the ECU

for me..i think ECU problem
we have a few that cannot start up there car end up go SC to reset ECU
if CVT problem...it should have no problem starting back up...only when driving will have serious jerk probably

My flx is first batch, Proton didn't officially announce for the recall, i didn't go back for the recall, my mileage now is 2k+.......My engine can start back, just my gearbox was no response eventhough i put into D or R position.

I don't think Proton is handling this properly or with the appropriate sense of urgency.

It seems this CVT issue is not isolated as it has already affected several members here. What about the owners who are not LYN members? How many have to be stranded roadside before Proton will properly do a recall to install those parts? The Proton SC I go to are not even aware of this issue.

Do your fellow FLX owners a favour and spread the word on facebook or something, tell them to send their car to the nearest SC if they haven't. Being stranded in the middle of the road is not fun and often dangerous. New car owners shouldn't have to suffer this kind of fate just because Proton f*cked up.

Agree that Proton didnt handle this matters properly for the sack of consumer.

But for their side, they try cover up this story without affecting their sales and prospect owner's confidence.

and if they:
announce = Malaysian + P2 shoot them gao gao
dont announce = 1st batch Saga FLX owner shoot them gao gao.

Which u choose on their side?
Jz my 2cent

Keep up good work, Bro!

Also Good morning, Everyone!! Hv a great wkend ahead!!

Early batch BLMs also had problem. Drive shaft got rust.

Hi all,
New here Got my FLX about 2.5 months back.

I didnt seem to have that gearbox function though. Currently at 4600km in mileage.
But I agree there is a jerking sometimes when stepping the accelerator, any recommendations?

Dont so fast lose confidence bro. Think of corners

Please have it fixed at your nearest SC.

Updated with announcement

Be gentle

But as a precaution, please send it back to an SC to have it updated.

But seriously, its due to the clutch system, that's why got slight jerk. If you are really gentle, it can be eliminated

btw, looking for someone unbiased to test both the Lagi Best (1.3 or 1.5) vs the Saga FLX (1.3 or 1.6).

whta do you guys mean by 1st batch of flx cvt owner? got 2nd batch already r? do i need to go to sc to "upgrade" the cvt gearbox since my car only 7 days old (otr la..)

Yup. I did send back to the SC for the 1k KM service, wondering what should I tell him for the next service due in like a week or two ... to get rid of that jerkiness.

I am gentle with the accelerator so reason why I havent had a gear box meltdown yet

Had you send your car for the recall?
My gf own a myvi1.5, what you want to vs? Maybe I an give some comment on that.

Hehehe....not enough should put in your signature .

Before zeone come telling me not to bash Proton, just wanna say I still love my Waja

EDIT: Eric since your car no more Toyol sticker, can put new sticker "FLX CVT owners!! visit SC before gearbox overheat!!"
