2003 Citroen C3 Desire review from UK and Ireland
"Don't Touch It!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Steering keeps cutting out and tripping the speedometer (5 times so far)
Central locking keeps failing causing Immoblizer to stop engine turning over.
Scrath on door when collected from dealers
Engine Management Light keeps coming on for no reason (Spent three days in garage then collected, did 17 miles and came back on!) 2 hours later.
CD Player makes funny noise similar to alarm ringing?
Car keeps miss-firing.
General comments?
As I'm a Driving Instructor I need a reliable car, the Sales and Service Department appeared to show interest in resolving the problems. Unfortunately they now know me by first name terms and show little enthusiasm in re-building my confidence as the complaint's are still happening almost every other day.
Thank god for Citroen assist the Car Recovery Unit as I can rely on them to collect me when she fails.
