Rattling sound I had too...mine is the plastic cover below the steering. I insulates the metal areas with rubber padding..solved it.

Hmmm. I will consider but going back and forth to the Service Center to get your problem is hectic thing to do. We are buying a brand new car and we have to resolve the problem by ourselves. This is more like getting a used car with problems that you know and you gonna get fix in order to have a smoother ride.

call 1300-880-888 Proton I-care centre, and voice out all your frustration to them...i believe by informing them yr frustration will trigger them to improve.....and also counter measures will be made of all these concerns and complaints......my friend did and someone attended to all his concerns and now he is a happy owner of neo cps.....good luck guyz!

My friends Neo had a tapping noise in the engine at certain speeds...goes away after awhile. He went back to Proton numerous times but couldnt detect the problem so he lived with it.

Mine was a squeeky sound from the passenger seat. I took the whole thing out, tightened screws sprayed lube...went away for awhile and nows its back...hai.

his car cant accelerate smoothly at certain rpm, according to him, the svc ctr guy erased some setting using pdt and then reset back by clearing all the error code etc..i not very sure...now its smooth.....and also bout the passender seat sound....at the back seat i mean, he uses a black loytape and stick on to the hook then when he fix back the seat..the sound is gone.......

I think its quite normal to have sounds in protons...just have to pinpoint where and consolidate the issue.

Need to get some sound dampening material for the doors.

i think achmedrauff was refering to Evolutionz post about resetting the ecu usng PDT2000...a gadget used at the service centre to check for any error readings sent by sensors.

All proton service centres should have it.

is it normal for new car to have problem like what happen to the NEO CPS or it only happen to NEO CPS ( I mean proton) ...there's lot of debate and argument about proton qualities..when someone bashing proton then someone will defend proton, then another one defend the other one bashing..hahaha...btw i never had or bought brand new car...twice i bought 2nd hand car..thinking of Neo CPS now but getting scared of all the problemss..might delay my intention huhu...btw i think proton made a good handling car

Errmmmm.... I am not complaining but just want to know what might be the cause. Honestly I am happy with what I got. Honestly many of us forget the other part of car ownership.... that is to know it heart and soul. You know what makes the car happy~ you know how much throttle more you can give before the front or back gives way.... you know exactly how much force you need to close your hood shut....it's the tiny tiny characteristics that all us forget about what it actually means to own a car.

Now all must be perfect~ buy Jap car expect German tough engineering. Buy sedan want hot-hatch handling but fuel economy of a hybrid and millage of a diesel. Where can brudder~ Some people complaints just dont make sense.

i got what u mean..but whats the point if we buy new car but the car itself acting like a 2nd hand car...ironically it happen most on 1st batch production...someone might say it also happen to others manufacturer not only proton..if that the case maybe car manufacturer got ISO for 1st batch production line where problems are normal to certain extent... anyway white neo CPS looks cool hehe
