im so scared also.. since my one is among the very early batch ... so far ok la.. just the front sensors not really working.. but what dreads me is hearing about engine suddenly dying in the middle of the road...
btw abot, make some huhahuha to the hq showing how concerned you are with the state of ur car.. early adopters like us, i heard, will certainly get the attention of their top bosses

The engine is the same as the Preve, shouldnt be an issue..

btw what do I need to check before signing the release letter?

Got checklist?

There is a checklist and the agent SA will go everything with you before car purchase. Make sure he gives you the microSD with the maps in it.

how many mileage already clocked?

what sort of free gifts u get bro?

man.. im sorry to hear that. hope its just a minor wiring/software issue.

i got rm1.3k discount from SA

My engine didn't stop suddenly, just the warning indicators started showing while I was driving. Can't restart the engine after I stopped it. Now the car is still in SC, they're checking the wiring. Initially they told me they need a day to fix it and asked me to come tomorrow. I said okay only if I get a relief car since I need to use the car for work. I even called We Care to get a relief car. And since they can't provide a relief car for me now they are rushing the work. Damn these people need to be kicked in the butts to rush things. Haih.

Clocked 7.6k already.

Thanks for the solidarity bro. Haha. They told me it's one of the switches (same as last time I think) after they checked with their software. Now they are testing the car and checking the wiring for other issues.

Oh and one more thing, I asked the SC (Service Branch in Puchong) to check the report from my last SC visit (Service Dealer in JB) and apparently in the system the dealer SA reported that they replaced my battery but as I know they only replace a switch. I suspect they're over claiming the warranty from Proton. I don't really care about that, but this doesn't reflect the true history of my car's problem and maybe others as well. So there's a good chance that many problems encountered by users being sent to branch/dealer for warranty claims are not accurately reported to Proton.

Sorry, Actually I got discount RM700 and got steering lock, full tank petrol and smart tag

Hows the FC so far? How much cost per service at 1k and 5k?

I enquired directly to Kristof of Punch Powertrain about the improvements on the VT3. My questions were forwarded to his colleague Fikeri Yusof. the following is the email exchange


There was a couple of intermediate email exchange but due to irrelevance I will omit them here. The next relevant email is below





So as you guys can see the improvements is not only software, but also the mechanical parts. Kudos to the team for answering my questions so thoroughly when other carmakers will probably shrug me off.

Goes to show Proton is not ready to rest on it's achievement with the CFE+CVT powertrain design.

oh, so it is from your own...

I think they started the discount already. I saw online ads with 1k discount.

Good to know that.

so hows ur car bro? should be fine already right?
i tot the SC will come out with an official resit that states what has been done to ur car/warranty claim. the items should be online throughout all SC, no?



Thanks for sharing bro!
good to know the improvements over preve's VT3. no wonder my friend's request to update his car (preve) setting to Suprima's setting is rejected (send his car for service at COS shah alam) they said the system are a total different

My FC is bad, but mostly due to the way I drive . But the lowest FC I got was 6.9L/100km on highway so that's okay I guess.

Thanks for the info bro!! You are really passionate about this stuff huh

My car is fine already, they replaced the push start button. According to them the switch was shorted. Maybe it caused a false alarm signal to the system and prevented me from cranking the engine *MAYBE*. If only I can get my hands on the car's wiring diagram.

Yup, the items are actually online throughout all SC. The SA showed me the dealer's item from their PC. I didn't bother to get the receipt last time since it's a warranty claim, they just told me verbally what they did/replace. Got it this time though.

they also said MAYBE to you?
seems like receipt is important with proton SC

Thanks for the help

How did the start/stop button blew? Water got in?

I'm still waiting for my interior side panels. Will call them tomorrow to ask.
