Wow...really early to introduce V2. Usually start new thread when there's already 125 pages.

But good to see some updated info on the first page.

Hey guys, just got my persona cvt premium last week and the mileage now is 300km+ still breaking in carefully. When i'm driving on a bumpy road the centre dashboard will start to rattle, besides that on the day of the delivery itself the reverse camera was faulty. Sent to sc this morning and they cant fix the problem ask me go to proton sc at sungai besi to fix it. Besdies that the cvt is quite jerky at lowspeeds and sometimes it will jerk quite hard plus the throttle response delay isnt very pleasant especially when u are trying accelerate from standstill on a slope. Is this normal? But nonetheless its a quiet and comfortable car and im satisfied with it after upgrading it from a saga 1.3 FL 4 speed auto.

The CVT is clutch based so it requires engaging before the car moves which takes a few milliseconds. That and the throttle delay does need adapting to your driving style. It's normal though and more pronounced at traffic jams and standstill. I think the first page of this thread has the manual on how to adapt with the CVT.

Also, it's the first time I heard of the reverse cam issue with the Persona. Probably not a common problem though since I don't see it often with the Iriz.

Hi .. good morning/afternoon/evening/night😂

Got the persona 2 days ago. Noticed slight jerking like feel (semput2) whenever I accelerate slowly under 40km/h.

Went to kotadamansara SC. Reset reset reset
Went to Kelana Jaya SC today. Reset again.

After coming back from SC I noticed that when I put in Reverse gear the car doesn't move. Pressed the accelerator slowly still not moving. After 3 seconds jerks a little and moved. For this I suspect Hill hold assist thingy.

Went back to KJ SC immediately. As usual the guy said it's normal. You have to press the accelerator harder.

Came back with a poker face.

Now. Jerking(semput) is still there. Reverse gear problem is there too.

Bought the car for my wife. Feeling like we will be having a lot of vacations at SC😒🙃😟

Please advise and help me dear friends.

I pray that all of you who spent time reading this buy your dream car and spend quality time reading other threads. 😂✌🤗😇😆

Was the reverse jerking issue there before you sent it to reset at SC. If it didn't have this problem before then I assume there must be an error in the CVT software mapping caused by the reset.

Sure gladly, here are all the QA issues I found with my Proton Persona.

2. Boot lamp was not working, they fixed it also on the first service

3. After the first service, the next day; front left light, left tailgate light, car plate number light stop working... I sent to the service centre the next day they fixed it (Refer to my frustrating experience here). The issue is with the fuse...

4. One week later, issue no.3 occurred again.

On the other hand, one guy I  met in the COSE service centre was extremely frustrated and angry to find 18 defects. He made a complaint directly to Proton Quality Assurance and I heard they are replacing his car completely.
*
You're car sure got a lot of dead light fuse hahaha, but most of the issues are relatively minor. Not sure if the CVT jerkiness is a QA issue tho since it's a matter of adapting to it as well as being somewhat of the nature of clutch based CVT.

Regarding the guy who received the lemon car, I'm hoping those who receive very faulty vehicles in the future have some form of compensation. In fact, I think Malaysian law should have lemon law for these type of instances instead of the buyer having to simply live with the problem or sell the defective car.

Sorry forgot to mention the hot air is blowing from the bottom of car chassis, not inside the car.  It was my wife when exit from the passenger side complained why her leg felt hot.
*
Could be the radiator fan and AC fan directing hot air below the car to cool the engine. If there's no hissing sound, extreme heat or smoke smell when you open the hood then it may just be the cooling system at work. You could highlight this at 1st service if you're still in doubt

Hi.

OK I left my car at Mutiara SC for 3 days. They managed to solve it. But didn't give clear explanation on why or what they did. From what I understand it is because of socket longgar or something.

After taking back the car I found that the gear know rosak pulak. But for that they plan to change 2 things under warranty this week.

Slight jerking or not smooth feeling while take off. This is I believe because of air cond. When you off its smooth.

I will snap my report sheet for you. Atleast you can use that and ask them to call me if they want. Will rape them on the phone if they called me.

Gear rosak, what do you mean by that?? Gear shifter damaged issit or what....

The compressor proton used in saga/persona is too strong. As a manual user I can  really feel the jerk when the compressor activates. As long as you're below 2.5k rpm when that thing turns on, it's like your car braked for a split second. shocking.gif

Best experience driving my car is in the cold hours in the morning with air cond off. Oh my God, the performance is soooooooooo gooooooddddd. Pickup thumbup.gif

In the afternoon though.. sad.gif
*
So the key to reduce jerking and slow acceleration is to keep the aircon off at all times and only use it to cool the car down when not moving. Hmmm...fascinating

Might want to invest in a portable fan tho......😁

I'm always with my seatbelt on and have been driving alone since i got the car though. One thing i realised is that it only beeps when radio is on but when i am on my usb it doesnt beep at all.
*
I've read through some other car forums and most of them seem to suggest that the head unit program is not properly matched with the car's VIN number. The only way to solve this is to go to the service centre and get the head unit to be calibrated with the specific VIN number code so that it syncs with the rest of the electronics in the car.

Want to check, is the driver side window supposed be able to auto scroll up?
The manual seems to say so.

It can't go up automatically. It's a leftover from the Iriz which does have that feature which they forgot to edit out.

Latest batch Persona Premium has new head unit which is less laggy than the old Android one. Also the wheels have a two tone color now apparently but I haven't seen it yet.

Why need Volvo tech for radio & reverse sensor? I'm sure Geely can afford good vendors for Proton which is what they really need. Volvo tech can come later.

Premium HU have graphical display (lebih feature) when the front sensor is activated.
Now no more graphic but only sound.
*
If it's still making sound then it's activated & functioning, I believe the old HU displays that to notify that the sensors are activated but won't have any effect on the actual operation of those sensors.

Yesterday just goJb SC done 1k service, i feedback them about dashboard rattling noise, SC technician told me even u buy 100k car also will have dashboard rattling noise if pass by uneven road, well. . Not much to say. I telling back tht guy old persona dashboard much better to new persona. He said New persona come a lot safety feature but build quality bad than old persona. I know wht he means 😂. Well. I regrets sold my old persona buy this new persona. Damm😞, but driving CVT punch really good than 4AT speed👍
*
Unfair to say the new Persona build quality is worse than the old one. Honestly, compared to Preve/Suprima the Persona interior quality is noticeably better. Haven't heard any stories of gear knob tercabut or loose buttons that is so common in the Preve.

Even if you go to the Bezza thread have several people complaining of rattling noise after only a few weeks of driving so it's just a common thing with affordable, mass produced cars in general.

Anyone knows what's that black plastic below the the aircond control knod?

That's for the passenger airbag sensor indicator which turns off the passenger airbag if no one sits there. Export markets like Australia require this safety feature in their cars but it's not implemented here.

Hi guys. My persona already passed 30k km. This week i noticed that sometimes, when i pressed the throttle pedal, seems that nothing happened or no power at all. Have to release pedal and pressed again then only the car moved forward. Happened few times today. Anybody experience this? Thanks

Sounds quite serious, you should run a diagnostic test at the service centre to see if there's any error codes appearing.

there are no release lever for the boot from inside cabin.  Just open the hood using the switch beside reverse camera or remote.

hood=front
Boot=back

Original poster said he cannot open the engine hood. Something stuck inside maybe?

Everyone talking about Premium new HU but recently just noticed that new batch Executive model has a new HU as well, same as the one used in Saga & Exora


Attached Image

Has anyone have a new batch Exec, how is this one compared to the older HU?

About the brakes, are there any serious issue or you simply don't like how soft they feel when you stop the car. If it's only a matter of preference instead of a major problem then maybe you can either learn to adapt or upgrade to a better set of brakes in the future.

As for FC, I know FC can be bad during city driving because of how heavy the car is but the engine is reliable and can last you many years if maintained, at least that's something to ease your frustration.

Don't give up on the car just yet. I know it's unacceptable to you but the issues you mentioned can still be worked around.
