2002 Renault Laguna Dynamique Sport Tourer review from UK and Ireland

Car revved up to 3k on its own, took the dealer 3 attempts to resolve. Finally replaced throttle housing.

Rear heated screen fuse blew 8 times, dealer replaced complete wiring loom only to find the fault was with the rear screen. This has been replaced and so far so good, but have not had to use it for a while.

Due to wiring loom being replaced, e.g. took apart most of the car, now have a number of rattles and squeaks which were not there before.

Although car has ISOFIX fixings unable to fit ISOFIX child seat without cutting seat. Renault don't appear to think this is a design fault even though it is the only car where you have to take this action. Even a local dealer could not believe this was the case. So be warned if you are thinking about buying a Laguna II as it is still a design fault with the car, I have checked 2003 model.

I have called Renault Customer Service regarding the ISOFIX problem, they have been very helpful and understanding, but have no solutions. Unable to speak to a manager or anyone else in Renault UK to pursue the issue as I do not think they want to be put on the spot and admit it is a design fault. I personally think they are trying to avoid a recall.

Not sure if this is the right thing to do, but anyone out there which has had similar problems, especially with the ISOFIX fixings please do what I have done and write to Watchdog. Hopefully enough people will write for them to investigate, would be nice to put Renault on the spot.
