Some minor problems that I did not mention on my 5000km car service (Persona SE)

1. Radio antenna signal gets...cracky when driving at higher speeds. A little noticeable at 90kmph and gets more obvious at 110kmph.
2. The lever to open the boot has stopped working.
3. Air-conditioning doesn't work properly in the afternoon when the car is idling. If I take it to the SC like I did last time in the morning, you won't feel the heat (even at lowest fan speed, air-con on and max temperature).

Major problem: disc brakes has cracked. On one or two of them, they're not very obvious. Only one disc has a slighly obvious crack. I do not know what could have caused that. SC might say it's because I splashed cold water on my tyres after they have become heated, but I only wiped my car before the cracks appeared, and took my car for a wash after the cracks have appeared.

Next month I'm taking it to the SC to have them checked, IMO they should be replaced under warranty too.

On another note, I do not like this bashing of Proton. Perhaps Proton was crap in the past, but lately they have started to catch up. Reliability is still one issue that the company has yet to deal with satisfactorily, but putting aside that, and pricing issues, I feel that their current models are quite alright.

I guess the bashing continues because people who have long dumped the brand still has memories of how their Proton eff'ed up their lives. Which is why I am not going to tell anyone else that my disc brakes have cracked.
