All talk about quality with Proton is bull. I have a 2 year old waja and I still have the same old proton problem. I bought my first waja in 2001 and it had the door handle, power window and odometer problem.

I bought the 2nd generation Waja thinking that they would have solved all the problem but nope. The driver side window already kaput and I was told it is not part of the 5 years warranty. My odometer panel is also not working properly. The hand brake light and ABS light will light up all the time.

Best part about the Waja is that the Campro sucks big time. The worst engine I have ever encountered. The previous Mitsubishi engine was better.

And the resale value is also shit. You lose about RM24k depreciation for 2 years. I am thinking of seriously ditching this lump of crap and sayanora Proton. Some delusional forumer will jump up and say Proton is great and is our national pride. It is most likely they don't drive Proton at all.

20 years and they still need crutches. Do you all remember when the Mitsubishi Partner Japanese Director complained about quality issues and he was criticised?

Thank you proton for great cars like Juara and Tiara. If Savvy was so good why is it that Myvi is better selling? You wonder what must be in their head when they thought of these cars. They think every Malaysian has no discerning taste.

I have never come across a Honda or Toyota with power window problem. Proton power window is a joke. Have you had your window bracket break and your window is like half shut in the rain?

Give me Proton power window OEM supplier contact and I would like to know who is their shit supplier.

I pity all Saga BLM buyers and yes I have seen Saga with fading break lights.

Don't take it literally.

I had the unique experience on sitting on a Tiara once and you wouldn't believe it. The engine stalled each time the air-cond compressor kicked in. I wonder can anybody else share their life transforming experience in a Tiara or Juara. I was so inspired by my ride in the Tiara on that afternoon I was thinking of getting a tatoo "I love Proton" on my arm and hoping one day I can have a successful career in selling proton Tiara. I don't know why my parents talked me out of it as a career choice. But to my dismay the car is no longer in production due to its overwhelming response just when I completed my degree.

I heard the Savvy is pretty good.....

Err...I know this happen like a year ago but just wanna share my experience with my AMT Savvy

I had the same problem last year, the AMT start flashing AUTO amber lite when drive in auto and that time mileage reach 45K. Sent to SC more than 5 times (3x in Cheras, 2x in Kepong) and the technicians keep quoting "wiring or electronic prob". I might not well versed in technical stuffs but it does fishy already.

Then, one day the gear box just stuck at N an cannot move at all and we had to call i-Proton and was advised to call our insurance to tow the car to SC. Guess what, SC in Kepong dunno wht happen to the car and fix abit here and there and ask us to send the car to HQ (Shah Alam)  doh.gif . Otw to HQ, car gearbox jammed again in Subang. Call tow truck again  vmad.gif

Reach there, was hold up for almost 2 hours then the engineers came out and says had to leave the car for a day for fully inspection. Next day came as per appointment and was advised that the HYDRAULIC PUMP was defect and need to change. Some tech lingo and quotation total goes to RM20K. I went beserk coz my car was less than 2 years and was maintain in good service record. And the engineer have the nerve to say I could be 'abusing' my car as it is a FRENCH build engine, not Japan. Bla,bla,bla...he said probably need a month to fix the car.

Ok lah after they fixed and all and they said all charges being lieu except I have to pay some service fee around RM150 (maybe coz I make really 'good' feedback email to Proton ppl...dunno).

Till today, after the the major MAJOR service, Savvy had no big prob except I can't get over the amount I have to pay for changing Timing Belt, wheel bearing, battery and service around rm2k. Probably had to look for generic parts after this or buy import cars,..coz am paying the same amount of money maintaining my Savvy with Toyota cars. shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif

Just sent my stupid waja campro to Proton Edar. My complain was quite minor that the abs and brake light will turn on intermittently while driving. My car is also just past 2 years and full service with Proton. Apparently the diagnostic unit kaput already (small black colour box in the engine bay) and they want RM4600 for it. Looks like it is a rip off as the car certainly has got quality problem. I am never going to buy another proton car again.

I emphatize with you as RM2k is hell a lot of money to pay for a small car.
