2002 Renault Laguna Privilege review from UK and Ireland
"Nice to drive, but always something going wrong with it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo went; I was unable to stop the car as it sat at full revs until it blew the engine up. Cost of repair £3000. The garage where I got it done say they are doing 3-5 of these a week, so is a recall of these not warranted???
Tyre sensors faulty from day one.
Air con panel light on one day, off the next week. Cost to replace; £400 at dealers.
Xenon bulb headlight blew; replacement £95, but that wasn't the only problem. The transformer under the headlight had also gone; price of replacement £200. A common fault I have been told.
Squeaky driver's seat??
Central locking wasn't locking the passenger door.
SO COME ON RENAULT, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER OF YOUR CARS, AND I HAVE MADE SURE EVERYONE I KNOW, KNOWS WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH. I even put off an old couple last week when I was waiting for my car (in yet again) from buying NEW RENAULT LAGUNA. When I told them all the faults they can expect to get, the salesmen was well miffed???
General comments?
I will never buy another Renault!!!
I had a Nissan for 13 years and they never needed anything but tyres and servicing.
