Tie rod/arm of the left wheel almost gave way at less than 1000 kilometers. Metal knocking sound and funny sound from the under carriage as well as the dashboard.
The car is comfortable due to its good ride and handling although the cushioned seats are rather hard. Quality control of Proton is really close to none. I had refused to collect the car when I notice a deep scratch on the from right panel of the car. Waited 4 long hours for it to be repainted. Metal knocking sound started to appear from the front left wheel. Because of its warranty requirements, I took the car back to Proton main service centre and had to leave the car with them for 1 day. Problem remain unsolved. Subsequently visited 2 more of the service agents and was told that sound was due to the car being new. Lastly, visited my own mechanic. What a shock? Screws of the tie rod/ arm and other parts of the left wheel was not tighten at all. I thanked god nothing happen to me and my family while travelling in the car at high speed.
I drove my Waja/impian almost 5 years now... the only problem is, power windows switch broke and after replace with new one, it work just like before.
Funny knocking sound?? My Waja also got that same sound problem and as I know that sound come from Driver and front passenger doors not from dashboard. Try to find a hole covered with a circle rubber, open and shake that door. Now you can find out the sound was from there... I just use a double sided foam tape for loosen the noise. try at once.. easy to do it urself.
My Waja also got problem with power windows switch.. after install/replacing with new one.. done, it's function like before and I'm going for Gen2 CPS as my 4th cars. (1st car Kancil, 2nd Waja and 3rd was Savvy) After I drove a Proton car, I've find out that Proton car was very stable, stylish, fun to drive and also give you confident... Good Work PROTON & LOTUS!!!
