Proton’s Power Windows

Power windows? What power windows?

I read the news yesterday where it stated that Proton is now offering a 10-year warranty (or 250,000km, whichever first) for its fleet of Proton cars. Wanna know what I think of it? I say, FARK YOU PROTON!

For your information, I have bought three Proton cars in the last 13 years, and all of them have the so-called “power windows problem”. But why the fark Proton offering the warranty now? Why not 13 years ago, or since the first Proton Saga back in 1985?

In Malaysia, Proton is well-known as a government-protected company, producing not-so-cheap cars, no technical no-how whatsoever, and selling cars with faulty power windows.

Recently, the MD of Proton (Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin) said, “We want to encourage our customers to use their power windows as hard as they want and if there is a problem, Proton will fix it free of charge for them”.

Is this the way a so-called global car manufacturer works? After 26 years, they’re finally gonna fix the power windows?

Nice job, Proton. Nice job.
