2002 Peugeot 307 XS review from Trinidad and Tobago
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The indicators and horn stopped functioning in the first month after purchasing the vehicle. The Dealer had to replace a Communication 2000 switch.
In the second month an exhaust emission message came up on the dash board. Again this was cleared by the Dealer. However the problem has continued over the last three and a half years. It is supposedly cleared by the Dealer's technician when the car goes in for service and it comes back up within two weeks. The last time the car was in for service, I was told that the injectors maybe faulty and would have to be replaced.
In the last year, the gears keep slipping when the engine is cold and an Automatic Gear Fault comes up on the Dash Board. The Dealer recommended that the transmission valves be changed. That was done, but the problem has returned once again in the last two months.
Two months ago when the car went into the Dealer, they have recommended that the engine valves need replacing.
The service level at this Dealer is poor and I am totally dis-satisfied with this vehicle and the after sales service. You have to make service appointments months in advance and the work is never done in one day and they do not even offer a courtesy vehicle, while they take 3 days to do what can and should be done in 1 day.
General comments?
The 2.0 Litre engine version of this model is very quick and responsive. With the right size tyres the car handles well. The cabin could be more quite though.
