hurmmmm...actually what happen with this picture?...is it because of accident or arm fall apart?...

 

[EvolutionZ]

i checked in proton FB, it happen when the car hit the divider at his right side.....then came to a stop. so damage at fender, bumper, lower arm, tire n absorber....at 1st i thought it just fall off..scary... but if its an accident then not so bad....

Any comments about the welding issue? That's plain scary.

that is plasma spot weld, done by robot, ugly yes, dangerous no

I see. I will take some time tomorrow to have a look at the car.

I saw this from a website and it says that the driver was driving at 120kmh .. At sentul link to duke highway there.. It's an intersection and the road is small. 120kmh if it is, then can summon the driver for speeding keke.. And it says that the driver hit the divider as he was trying to avoid a vehicle. Ermm.. Traction control?

 

[neohadri]

that 120km/h speed, either exaggerated by Proton or the SA guy was stupid enough to admit he was driving over speed limit

 

[mick87]

doesnt see much damages other than the right fender which caused by the right wheel, how true is the story?

 

[cvkit17]

Dont know if the driver gets any warning letter from Proton? or kena sepak straight away

For the wheel pic, if it is not the parts problem, then must be engineering problem. 1st, look at the car pic, when the wheel become like this, the front lower arm must be damaged. Commonly happen is the ball joint separated from the arm. 2nd, look at the hump. If hit by high speed, the car should ran over it in stead of crushing it. Afterall, it is not a 2ft high wall. 3rd, Look at the damage from the divider, it cannot justify the damage on the car. The car is not loaded with 5 tons concrete bricks so let say the divider is 12" high and the car cannot run over it, when the car hit on it, due to the momentum make the car lighter, both the car and wall will suffer damage of cause but the weight will not able to break a ball joint housing or somewhere on the lower arm. The only reason to explain is the lower arm failed before crushing or failed during collision. If failed before incident, it can be explained as individual case before 2nd or 3rd similar cases happen. If failed during collision, then it will have big possibility of parts under spec or car engineering flaws which may effect the rest of the production.

The welding pic from tokobakso.com clearly showed that the part is hand welded but not spot welded. Based on the pattern and size, it should be MIG welded. I don't know if every preve has the same problem, but from the pic, at least 2 are out there. The only thing can explain is that there was a flaw in the manufacturing process and after they find out, they simply tag a few spot, tough up the paint and then deliver to the showroom. As it is just a door, owner can ask workshop to fix it easily.

What the hell ?
do you notice the front bumper didnt even get a scratch ??? then the wheel just dislocated like that ?
It is quite clear cut case that the classic got problem leh...
Just like above saying.. the divider not even like 1 feet of what...

This is going to be a very very bad negative news for proton... ( or maybe it is just the turbo boosted too high...haha )

**** FOR PROTON TO PROVE NEW PREVE IS FINE - 2 WHEEL STUN PLS ****:stupid::stupid:

Preve ground clearance is quite high. It's very possible that only the lower/underside of the bumper came into direct contact with the divider while the wheel/suspension took full impact from the collision. Hence, the bumper stays intact.

Also, from the low resolution pic, how can you be sure there's not even a scratch on the bumper?

Nobody knows what really happened, but one thing is for sure. If the car in the pic was a Forte or a Civic, all the comments posted here would be very different.

I had tets drive pereve myself yesterday..floor pedal..highest rpm i can get with..so far..thums up!
plis dont compare preve with other jdm cars..

maybe the wheel hit the divider during turn mean the wheel was not straight...in that case of course the car cant jump the divider because of the wheel angle during the collision...for easy to understand the rim hit the divider not the tire...if the car go straight of course the car can jump the barrier...
