Hi, I notice Exora Bold CVT gearbox give out a noise 'un.un..un...' when we lift our right foot from the accelerator pedal(slow down). Usually during low speed(10 ~ 30km/h).
Is this normal ?

I have the same sound from the front. I think near the certre of the dashboard if I go through a pothole or something hard and fast.

Total heard it 3 times since I got my car 6 weeks ago.

Hi,

I own an EB Premium since Jan 2012. Mileage is around 7K.
Here is some feedback after 4 months used.

Here are some of the problems:
1) External Door Handle
Paint comeoff due to friction between the moving part (everytime you pull the door handle).
All Exora model have this issue.
Please check your Exora, sure kena...

2) Washer Cap broken.
The quality of the plastic not good, due to heat, the plastic string holding the cap will be broken.
I think this happen to all proton cars..

3) Right Head Lamp
Got vapor inside during heavy rain - awaiting replacement lamp

4) Radio
The radio will generate 'noise' when you put on reverse gear when the radio frequency is between 100 ~ 103Mhz
Not sure if it is due to interference from the reverse camera.
Proton had refer me to Clarion service centre - will visit them later this week or next week.
Please check your Exora, if you have this issue...

In term of drivability, I have 2 complains
1) The CVT gearbox is very noise especially when slowing down (Below 40km with radio off)
2) The car may/will 'jerk' will moving at low speed (Start/Stop at traffic jam) - around 10km ~ 30km


Overrall the car is good and value for money...

P.Myvi is a mature model when launch in 2005.
It's a copy of Daihatsu Boon(Sirion)/Toyota Passo, launch 1 year earlier.

Overall, Exora Bold CFE is value for money.
The only complain from me is the noise level of the CVT gearbox

ir5,

Item#1. Attached is a photo to show.
I personally think that it's a design issue. Too much free play on the handle.
Saga, Persona, Satria Neo share the same handle unfortunately it's not an issue. (Their handle don't have some much free play compare with Exora)

It should happen to all Exora (Bold, FL etc), let me know if it happen to your Exora also.

After complaining to SC, they said can touch-up for me, unfortunately they can't guaranty it won't happen again. I think it will happen again since the issue is not address!
Will complain to iCare later.



Item#2, should be under warranty, if they don't honour it, I will complain to iCare. (Waiting for part)



Item#3, I notice it about 2 months ago when I wash my car. Understand it's an issue with Exora (Blod, FL etc)
Waiting for parts to arrive.


By the way, I am also waiting for 'Rear View Mirror with LCD'.
I don't have any issue with the mirror/LCD, but SC said got issue. They had order a new one for me.
(Probably there is some known issue with the mirror/LCD, they are doing a silent replacement once they detect the mirror/LCD belong to the problem batch)














Attached thumbnail(s)

I think All Exora should have the same problem on the paint coming off from the external door handle.
I think most owner didn't notice it, it kind of hidden..
Time to report to Proton

SC is usually the local Service Centre, it could be Proton Edar or 3rd party Dealer's Service Centre.
iCare is a centralise helpline to help customer on their issues or complains.
