A collegue of mine has Waja and its less than 4 years old and his power window keeps malfunctioning after resending it to workshop afer workshop.
I went to service my car a few days back and he had 2 proton cars a Gen2 and Neo with ignition problems and also ECU problems. The guy who had NEO said the proton Service couldnt even solve the problem/. And these were units less than 2 years old.
If you have a good working proton car, GOOD FOR YOU, and thank your lucky stars you didnt get some malfunctioning unit like A LOT of unlucky fools I encounter.
So no bad-mouthing or fitnah, just by seeing and hear tragic stories related by the more unfortunate owners.
Every car manufacturer would assemble at least one faulty or sub-par unit among the thousands assembled. Even my friend had a VIOS with boot problems which was quickly sorted out. But in comparison to Proton, they(PROTON) create too many sub-par units compared with good ones. Which means their factory assembly line QC is useless. GOOD JOB PROTON! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Stories from forums are not to be trusted, get them from your foreman or maybe family members. But I believe a bulk or majority of people get their opinions directly from people who own the car rather like family members or even themselves.
But there will always be soldiers of proton to the defence of this brand.
Work hard proton soldiers! Hopefully next quarter, Proton will not be running at a loss profit like the last 3 rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Ever cross your mind the minority usually make the loudest noise?

My savvy from Dec 2005, relaibility is top notch....never fail to start the car many times from day 1 (5-8-10 times, said it many times), build quality, fit and finish ?!! no squeaks and rattles from the suspension and interior till now.

I can see many students from my ex school MMU melaka driving neo and savvy..they would be in deep shit if their cars give them problems.
The power window mechanism is damn noisy in operation due to scissor type mechanism being used...but more robust compare to plastic pulley and cables found in waja and gen2...so power windows probs is a thing of past.

A family member owns a 1.6xli wira which gear box died in opration in its 5 year, windows have been dying before that. ANother owns a tiara whichs paint started eroding after a few years only. Quality is still the weakness. Only the newer cars show improvement. they have been around since 1985!!! why wait until now to buck up? icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif
