when i did my 6k service on last friday, they do not allow me to complain kaw kaw.. ohmy.gif

they said if want to complain kaw kaw, you come on tuesday (that is tomorrow).. brows.gif

if you go, please let me know.. tongue.gif

I called the SA, no reply from him. doh.gif

Friday ma, they got no mood to work already...basically you may treat it as half day only as they close during lunch time, then praying time, later may be got tea time hehe...then work for another 1 or 2 hours then ciao.

I being there twice, both also on Friday...haii. So, better dun go on Friday and never expect to get all the problems fixed in 1 day unless you leave your car over there for few days. My preve admitted on 6th July, 7 working days already, still not yet discharge...overall got 12 problems listed sweat.gif

Luckily, got the replacement car from ICare and hope they manage to solve the problems. thumbup.gif

How many of you have brought their Preves to Genting Highlands? I think this is a good test of the car's performance. Please share your views on these areas of interest


  • engine power

  • handling

  • the brakes when coming back down


*
I drove to Genting when got my preve after 2 weeks time. The handling was superb and you never felt that the engine no enough power & wan to switch back to gear 2 or 1 like other car. I used D mode all the way up to top hill...left the vios, city, civic, camry behind drool.gif

When coming down from Genting, can felt the engine like pulling the gear to slow down the speed...then I started to play with the paddle shifts, like driving manual car, very fun & nice experience. tongue.gif

But, FC used up quite a lot, you can see the estimated FC figures dropping very fast sweat.gif

Driving a Preve, at least it has good handling and easy to steer around corners at speed.

Look at those Myvis and Vivas speeding up and down Genting, those are scary.

Yaya, noticed lots of myvis & vivas speeding around there...really worry for them. ohmy.gif

I noticed few things happened to my preve after discharged from COSE:

1. ESC not functioning anymore, press the ESC button no icon shown.
2. Wind screen got a crack line. (see photos)
3. Got scratch on paint near the front left wheel. (see photos)
4. Press button icon appeared after engine already started.

erk... as far as i can remember during the good old days when i use to send my wira for service @ the old EON glenmarie SC...

as a customer, i have the rights to check first before i sign anything / collect my car... and i usually ask to have a look first at my car before i sign & pay... if there's anything that I am not happy, i can put remarks on the service checklist form, and then set an appointment to get it rectified back for free... or make any claims...
*
From 3pm I waited till 5 something, only the SA managed to see me thn just asked me to sign & billed me for the car alignment fees.

Ya, I should reject to sign that time. May be I not clear abt the customer rights. Learn something new today. Thanks.

i believe the favourite location that u saved into your CFE HU are stored in the SDcard. so if any battery flat will not reset the saved address. it will only reset all the HU setting only.
*
Hooo...just got back home from work.
Ya, those favorite location data are into the SD card so that you will not lose your saved address after the battery flat or reset by SC. You will need to enter the pin no again once the battery flat.

why proton after sales service so f###p  mad.gif , always let people complain only..

people like us buying new car also have to go in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out SC... sweat.gif

so tiring la..apply leave somemore, need arrange time, taxi fare, bus fare, train fare, borrow car, rent car, etc..aiyo.. doh.gif

how to go global la...

like wewanwang case, wondering how proton can returned his car like that after they damaged it... rclxub.gif

haiz..i missed my silver bullet!

I wait wait wait...for the feedback from ICare until today still no answer my email or give me a call. Then, as usual, I called to ICare, that guy ON LEAVE again vmad.gif
So good, they have plenty of leaves to apply...no need to stress. Good remuneration from Proton but with poor working attitude. shakehead.gif , no idea how they going to go global la...

just collected my silver bullet from COSE after 7 days. Was promised it takes 3 days only.  doh.gif

I don't understand why my 10 days old full syn syntium 1000 SM 15W/50 oil been replaced with syntium 800 SM 10W/40?

Can't they used back the same type?  rclxub.gif

Din check the forum for few days...
Finally got your car huh...7 days, mine one more than 10 days rclxub.gif
They even charged me for the alignment tuning, still a bit run after tuned doh.gif

I complained to ICare regarding the damages on my preve due to poor workmanship during my car admission at SC.
2 damages found:
- crack line on wind screen
- a scratch on paint

Being for a week already, they keep playing "Tai Chi"...said already reported my case to service team & waiting for approval blah blah blah.
Then, I found out today from service team that there is no report being made about my case. shocking.gif
I called back to ICare & made noise, then i managed to talk to another guy who is supervisor, the guy handling my case on leave AGAIN vmad.gif .
I told them tomorrow i will go down to SC & ask the service team & ICare ppl to inspect my preve; and give me a exact date when I can go back to fix those damages.
