Previously we covered the Proton Preve dashboard button quality failure, this time there appears to be some problem with the Proton Preve's tyres! Hit the jump for 1 more picture and a funny internet trending meme on this mishap!
However, this is not what it seems! The real story was, the salesman was cruising at 120km/h (Above speed limit!), and had to swerve to avoid another vehicle. Apparently it hit a divider instead, which resulted in a broken tie rod.
"The real story already officially written by news hub gaiz
KUALA LUMPUR: The trending image on a local forum and social sites depicting a Proton Prevé's failed suspension and tyre damage are being heavily discussed among netizens this evening.
An official statement from Proton was given by Datuk Ahmad Jingga, chief director of Proton's marketing unit, regarding this issue. The image was depicted as one way for rivaling companies to bring down Proton's name.
"There is a story behind that image. Proton's suspension and our latest technology is working just fine. During the test drive, this particular unit has hit a foreign object that instantenously damage the tire and suspension unit due to the heavy duty element of that object."
A further forensic research regarding the photo were done immediately to clear up rumours about Proton's supposedly 'failed' suspension. The official reports have depicted that foreign object as 'too strong for any mass object moving in high speed to withhold, even a BMW could not survive the ordeal'. Datuk Ahmad Jingga has been quoted to say that the object itself is the main cause of the turmoil, and not the failure of Proton's technology.
The following are the official photos released by the laboratory depicting the foreign object that was said to be the real culprit behind this chaos."

Proton has 'rivaling companies'?? That is a joke right. I trust Perodua more than Proton. Proton should just stay as an R&D co & waste rakyat's money. Should I start with all the cars Proton introduced but later had stopped production?? That Syed Zainal guy is a jackasssss!!
Well no one made any comment or bring down Proton's image. It's image is already not in a favourable state to begin with haha!
Good post man!
nak buat kereta pun tak mampu... baik beli kereta luar negeri 2nd hand...
my mum bought a brand new proton flx recently and the alarm keeps going on and after numerous trips to proton they still cant figure it out. After all these years still no improvement, i think its hight time they accepted defeat and just sold it instead of continuing it for the sake of national pride.
In fact its the opposite what pride is left should just be salvaged and sold off.
Thanks for the insight man! I was going to buy a Saga FLX end of this year, might reconsider after hearing your comment. So far on Lowyat.net the SAGA FLX has received positive feedback though.
:D
hope proton will be the best company
Hope they can turn around with the Proton Preve.
My office mate just bought a NEW Vios and sadly he crashed a divider while speeding at 150 km/h just to avoid hitting another stupid women driver who drive slow nak mampus at the right lane. DAMN the Toyota by made such a crap and can easily crash like that. So, can I said like that? Moron...
kita harus bangga dengan apa yang telah kita capai... proton mungkin tidak setanding dengan pengeluar kereta lain... tp kita kene ingat sekurang-kurangnya proton berusaha memberikan yang terbaik untuk rakyat negara ni.. kalau kita tngok balik model2 sebelum ini.. proton dan produa hanya membeli hak design dari pengeluar kereta di jepun.. mungkin produa lebih banyak menarik hati rakyat malaysia.. tapi ingat kancil=mira, myvi=passo, new myvi=new avanza... atleast proton ade jugak model sendiri.. mcm mane nak maju kalau asyik meniru je... jadi langkah proton harus dipuji... dengan pengambil alihan oleh drb-hicom... harap proton dapat maju lagi... kita kena ingat hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri... lebih baik negeri sendiri dari negeri orang... jangan agung2kan kereta luar.. sedangkan kereta sendiri di keji... cubalah bangga sebab banyak lagi negara yang xmampu ade jenama kereta sendiri...
The picture does show the front tyre caved in. But the picture was most likely doctored. Even the best resolution camera would not have make out the item that was magnified. I am not a proton owner and never was. I had owned a mazda 3 and now a hyundai trajet. That picture of the mobile phone was definitely doctored.
bangga dengan jenama PROTON..LOVE PROTON :-)
Dun take it seriously.. it was for fun.
We owez make fun bout nokia 3310 harder than concrete..that's the whole point of the pictures...poster should add trollface in the pictures to show the intent tho.
Bodoh...! Cuba bandingkan harga kereta luar macam Camry, hanya 45 ribu dah dapat...proton jual 70+ ribu? Tipu rakyat sendiri duit aja..
logic la wey. kalau langgar ape2 object kecik..dekat tayar..it shud be melantun to other place already. tayar bole tercabut..takkan small nokia handphone bole stay put dekat situ. some more, its not broken also..logic ke ape. kebal ke phone tu.
Because of so-called-pride, we are forced to pay twice or even thrice for imported vehicles. The taxes are there to make the imports more expensive so that the so-called-prioritized-folks (rakyat didahulukan) buy Proton.. I don't know what they really want.. Feed those Proton "real owners" or what? The fact is, Proton has never recorded real profits, yet the folks' money has been used to "inject" the company with the so-called-pride slogan. from the circumstance, the motto should be "Proton didahulukan, rakyat dibebankan" sdiri"
Mengikuti comment dari lighting designer, lampu brek preve tidak lulus dalam ECE regulation sebab ia letak di bahagian bonet belakang kereta dan adalah tidak safety jika kereta preve tu rosak di tepi jalan dan bonet belakang tu buka. Maka lampu brek preve adalah model pertama yang berada di bonet belakang bukan sebab pioneer of design tapi sebab ridiculous of design.
lambu brake bukan kat bonet itu aja...dia sambung ke lampu sisi tepi bonet tu..so walaupun bukan bonet still boleh nampak lampu brake belakang yg tepi tu
apapun design lampu belakang preve amatlah HUDUH...napa diorang x buat ubahsuai dari lampu belakang Gen 2 atau persona..cantik apa....
Memang boleh nampak lampu brek di sisi tapi tak cukup terang dari segi E mark regulation. Dijangka Preve akan buat modification ni jika nak eksport. I tak miliki Preve sebab tak confident dengan kereta nasional yang tak reliable, tambahan pula harganya tak murah jika banding dengan standard qualitynya.
apa pasai cukai gila babi sgt....pemegang ap semua kaya raya....semata-mata nak protect proton kesayangan.....lets just say proton dah lama wujud, r&d patut dah power....so tolong fair la bersaing dalam pasaran sama rata....takut kaaa??
i like preve mostly but on the road price not actually
I have a Proton Exora CPS Hi-Line and the front suspension noise and my brake noise can never be solved after they changed 3 sets of Front Absorbers and 3 sets of Front Disc and Rear Drum Set.
My car was purchased in Dec. 2009 and till today, 2012, the Proton 3S Service Centre cannot solve the problems, and keep wanting to change another set. I think, it is really rediculous , as they do not rectify the root cause of the problems but change new parts and never solved is their " Speacialty".
mmmmmmmmmmmm...proton...proton...sy tk paham la...la disbbkan dia semua krete lain mahal...krete proton mane kualiti.sy bkn nk kutuk tp geram.sy bkn pemilik proton tp byk sgt dgr psl complain preve pun. its a shame. org kate preve a leap step to a new proton. tp kualiti part dlm krete still the same story...kereta lain dh maju ke depan dr segi teknologi & kualiti...proton bile lg....
@google : perlu ko bodohkan orang. camry 45ribu ko buat sendiri pakai kayu ke...hoho, iyela sbb ko pun gampang mcm kayu!
ngokngek ko ni. ko ingat harga proton 80an rm18k boleh maintain sampai skrg? cth : mazda 323 dulu dlm rm20k-30k...skrg (yg sama spec) boleh dpt lagi ke. tak mampu lu naik beskal je la..lg elok beskal A-segmen 4roda mcm bangla kutip kotak pagi2 tu...huh! komplen je byk.
I regretted buying a preve at 1st. Display board boleh crack dari dalam bcoz viabration...! U imagine ,i pergi COE (konon center of exccelence) xde spare part, pastu takut nk buat appointment with us, tukar 2 bijik spring power window n air intake pipe, ambil mase 9jam. .. Macam nak gile tunggu.! Kalo i tau awal2 mcm ni.. Gua beli honda ke, toyota ke.. But after i jumpe ade satu brader ni keje kat proton sungai besi ni, keje repair semua jalan n stakat ni, kete gua still ok. But still... Untuk level preve.. X patut mcm ni la kan..
An electrical smell, like singed wires, inside the car may be a sign of damage to the vehicle’s alternator or wiring system. If this is the case drivers can also expect to see a warning light on their vehicle’s dash or dimming of its lights.
