2000 Renault Scenic RT review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Automatic Gearbox malfunctioned after we had the car about 3 months. All drive was lost and Recovery was used to take car back to dealer in Derby who sent car to gearbox specialist in Loughborough. They had the car twice and reconditioned the gearbox. When car went to main Renault dealer 3 weeks ago there was oil leak we asked them to fix. They reported it was an internal leak on gearbox so vehicle is back with gearbox secialist in Loughborough now. We have lost all confidence in this gearbox.
General comments?
The car has all the general features we wanted. It is amazing a major car manufacturer like Renault cannot produce a reliable automatic gearbox.
