I bought my FLX on April, the AC is mixing with smoke from outside air when I drive behind motobike and lorry which is so annoyed. This not only happened to my car but also happen to my friend's car.
On my second service I complained about this issue at proton COE and what proton sc mechanic was done is they just tight the AC distribution Valve with cable tie.!!
That solution is not solve my issue and also i cannot change the AC flow to outside air mode because of the valve is tighten.

On the next service, I came back to COE and escalate about the issue. On that time, COE srv advisor told me that they want to change the AC distribution valve and they have to take out the dashboard to do it. So they need to kept my car for 2 day.

The problem has gone and I am satisfied and happy with my AC.

After 1.5 month later which is now, I am facing other problem. Last week, the odometer lcd panel has started showing some problem which the lcd display turn to haywire. The odometer number become "88888" and I believe the problem cause from the wiring inside the dashboard. On the next day, I surprised the problem has gone.

And last night, the other problem has occur which is the shift lock is not release when I push the brake and I noticed the brake lamp is not lighted. I manually push the "shift lock emergency trigger" to drive my car back home. In my thought this just a simple problem and I decided to check the fuse on early morning before I go to work.

This morning, I woke up early and manage to check the fuse and found the brake light fuse is blown. So I changed with spare fuse and the fuse still blown. I believe there is something wrong with the wiring under the dashboard. I have take an emergency leave today to sent back the car to proton COE because I don't want get my self in trouble driving with no brake light especially during rainy day today.

What comes in my mind this morning is,
Why is the proton COE service center mechanic workmanship is so bad.?

I have very bad experience using my FLX like CVT light warn and underpowered, rattling sound on drivers door, CVT jerking sound and more. I have tell all of this problem to the Proton COE but still they did not solve my problem.
