Faults:

I feel the seat cushion is a little too stiff.

The front suspension gave squeaking sound when cornering (never fixed).

Poor design, if you wear long sleeve shirt, your cuff can easily pull off the audio control located on the driving wheel. Had it happened to both the controls, but replaced at no cost under warranty.

And MOST IMPORTANT of all: the engine can stall especially if the car is still warming up when driven. I had this problem several times, brought back to dealer and they just rev up the idling RPM, but problem still comes back after a few weeks. This is a major safety issue, and is the one of the main reasons I sold the car.

General Comments:

I understand quite a few of Waja on the road have these two problems:

1. Suspension squeaking.

2. Engine stalling.

There seem to be some problems with the engine, and Proton almost always just rev up the engine idle RPM, thus wasting more fuel for you. Mechanics' explanations ranged from failed computer chip, electric circuit board, fuel injection, to simply engine need tuning.

And what is the deal with the dealer technicians now being able to decide how much to charge?

Faults:

1. I have changed the power window on the driver's side twice at no cost.

2. As at to date, the power window still gives this irritating squeaky noise.

3. I also get the same irritating noise from the left front side window.

4. Changed the clutch pump at no cost. Had terrible time to get parts from the dealer as I have to wait for two weeks.

5. The customer service is pathetic.

6. Quality of workmanship at baggage compartment area is questionable.

General Comments:

1. Teething problems such as power windows is something not commonly found at other cars (non proton).

2. On top of that I have to wait for weeks for parts from authorized dealers.

3. Poor after sales customer service.

Faults:

- Driver's side power window failure.

- Gear change very rough & inefficient.

- Passenger's doors too tight.

- Airconditioners not cold enough.

- Airconditioners vent pointing to driver only.

- Boot design very poor.

- Passenger's seats (sitting position) very uncomfortable.

- Noisy on the inside while driving.

- Very hard to close doors from the inside due to poor handle design.

- The tire alignments had to be adjusted even after taking it from the sales office.

- Huge turning radius. Worst car to drive into when parking or making U turns.

- Squeaky absorbers & dashboards.

General Comments:

DO NOT buy this car until Proton has improved the above stated features.

This car has very bad quality built into every part of it.

Faults:

Right front signal light suffered water leakage after 1 week, had it replaced by the dealer at no cost.

Brake squeak at one of the tyres while braking hard after 2 weeks, dealer not willing to replace/repair it.

Brake oil leaks at the master pump after around 5 months, dealer replaced 2 rubber seals at no cost. Understand that this is a common problem in the Waja from the repair man.

Battery dead and towed to workshop. Due to a loose wire which connects the generator and battery. Had it fixed at no cost.

Left front window rattles at bumpy road. Not fixed.

Right front door rattles almost always. Not fixed.

Lock cover at the rear trunk dropped after a few days. Unable to put it back due to lock alignment.

Plastic cover at the left front above the dashboard is loose, I need to tug it with a rubber tug to secure it.

General Comments:

This would be a dream car if the quality control is not overlooked by the manufacturer.

Great exterior design, I love the new logo, and the classy look.

I like the 15" sport rims which come with the standard package.

The car body is rigid enough, it makes me feel safe while driving it.

It is stable and not bumpy.

It is spacious and comfortable.

Realised that the air conditioning outlet design is tilted towards the driver, which makes the front passenger really warm, and, of course, complaints.
