Common Problem
TL;DR
The Proton Preve, particularly models from 2016 onwards, may experience issues such as CVT jerkiness at low speeds, oil cooler hose leaks, and battery drainage. Regular maintenance and careful driving can mitigate some of these problems.
CVT Jerkiness
One of the most frequently mentioned issues with the Proton Preve is the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) jerkiness, especially noticeable at low speeds. This problem has not been fully resolved in later models, and drivers are advised to handle the throttle gently to minimize the effect. Some users suggest that updating the ECU might help alleviate this issue.
Oil Cooler Hose Leaks
Another common problem is the oil cooler hose leaking after around 40,000 km. While there was a recall issued for this problem, it remains uncertain whether a permanent fix has been implemented. Owners are advised to replace the hose regularly to avoid potential damage.
Starting Issues and Battery Drainage
Several users have reported issues with the car not starting after being idle for a day or more. Possible causes include a faulty alternator, poorly installed accessories like dashcams draining the battery, or electrical components such as alarms causing current leaks. Disconnecting the battery when not in use can be a temporary solution to test for battery drainage.
Engine and Spark Plug Concerns
Some owners have experienced engine jerking and stalling, potentially linked to spark plug issues or other electrical faults. Recommendations include checking for loose connections, cleaning the throttle body, or replacing sensors like the Mass Air Flow sensor.
General Reliability and Maintenance
While the manual gearbox is generally considered reliable, issues such as the slave clutch pump failing can be annoying but are cheaper to fix than CVT-related problems. Regular maintenance, including timely oil changes and monitoring wear and tear, can help maintain the vehicle's performance.
Considerations Beyond the Discussions
When considering purchasing a Proton Preve, it's important to weigh these common issues against the cost savings compared to other vehicles. If possible, consult with a mechanic familiar with Proton vehicles to assess any specific concerns related to the model year you are interested in.
