Proton Savvy: engine surging and speedometer not working
There have been reports of the Proton Savvy’s engine occasionally surging and the speedometer not working intermittently (i.e. the needle goes to zero) – these symptoms may be caused by an intermittent signal from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). To fix, the vehicle speed sensor needs to be replaced.
