Just want to share my disappointment of my persona & proton
Basically what am I going to highlight here are quality issues (again & again..)
I don’t want to write much..just list down the problem from day 1 till now (my persona only 4 months old..why got so many problem!!)
1. handbrake..can’t fully released..problem solved..
2. both front alloy rim cap came off…bought 2nd hand at tyre shop
3. nyek..nyek sounds from rear seat’s locks..problem solved..DIY
4. the famous clunking + nyek..nyek sounds...the clunking sound still persist with a bit improvement after replace insulator..
5. bad radio reception..no solution yet..get used to it already..
6. engine hard to start (sometimes) + loud sound engine (like old taxi)..going to replace the IAFM soon (only 4 months old..IAFM out already!)
7. noise when braking..problem solved..done brake service
8. faulty of volume controller at steering..problem solved..replace new switch..
9. air cond system sometimes on/off..no solution yet..
10. interior light faulty..don’t know whether circuit problem or bulb problem..going to complain at SC soon..
11. weird sound while turn down/up window (driver side)..might be power window problem.. going to complain at SC soon..
Not sure whether you guys face the same problem..or I’m just the unlucky one..
Fed-up la with proton quality…

for me...based on my 1year 7months of owning 1st batch persona
1)no problem
2)solve by getting aftermarket rim cap
3)DIY with tape (normal for persona)
4)u mean when turning left??? i dont care the sound also...
5)mine ok...no problem...not to say so clear...but can listen and most of the time i listen to CD
6)no problem as mine is not IAFM...plain campro 1st batch...i guess is very common IAFM to spoil and turn into lorry/old taxi sound....
7)no problem...sound is due to that original brake pads, replace it with bendix/bosch power plus/rs or some aftermarket well known brand will solve
8)same....mode and reverse track gila gila....lazy to repair...even waja's control is better 7years still can press...this 1 so fast go haywire...
9) no problem
10)no problem
11)no problem
other than that, the interior parts still intact and the parts still "sleeping" hope the parts in the interior wont "wake up" and started to make rattling sound and my driving style would be average and sometimes rough....
