2003 Renault Laguna Initiale review from UK and Ireland
"Very dangerous fault; why can this happen, aren't there safety devices inbuilt to prevent this?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Catastrophic gearbox failure while driving on the M4, resulting in the front wheels locking while driving along! Apparently I'm not the only one this has happened to.
Would really like to know if anybody got anywhere with claims/damages claims? Gearbox and engine require replacement. The crankshaft was also damaged, hence engine damage.
