Faults:

The front foot well carpets started to move out of place immediatly when new, moving away from the retainers on the sills.

The rear door finisher strips both moved from their original place on the doors and caught as the front doors were opened, breaking them off.

Total electrical failure on several occasions usually when driving at speed.

A knocking noise from the front suspension which can't be traced, been there for over 20,000 miles now

It has an intermittent fault on the boot switch, sometimes it won't open.

Starter stuck in engagement, causing lots of smoke and burning smell.

General Comments:

The car handles well and is quite economical. It is spacious and suits our needs well, however it was bought as we needed a reliable car to get to work, my previous car never had a fault in 3 years.

The dealer service is mediocre, but adequate. Prices are reasonable, warranty work has been prompt to date. The HDi service schedule is a bit of a pain by modern standards, requiring a complimentary 6,000 mile intermediate service, entailing another trip to the dealers.

Faults:

Indicator switch canceling too quickly.

Door trims fall off.

Drivers door will not unlock with remote control.

Drivers door leaking due to faulty membrane.

Radio loses stations.

CD player jumps tracks.

Recall for ignition.

Rear rattle.

Passenger door straps broke.

Inner door handle fascias fall off.

Badly worn clutch.

Badly fitted carpets.

Electrics fail intermittently.

Boot handle un-clips.

General Comments:

Very disappointed with this car.

Most of the problems are unresolved.

Peugeot have bought the car back off us this week with a loss for ourselves.

Anyone needs to seriously think twice about buying a 307.

It might look a nice car, but too many problems that cannot be rectified.

Bought a Saab 9-5 this week Hooray!!!

Faults:

Unable to open boot due to faulty lid switch. Dealer cleared fault on diagnostics, only for fault to return time and time again. Dealer finally replaced switch and handle.

Indicator switch failing to hold on at a right hand turn. The switch was replaced under warranty, but still has the same problem, dealer is looking into matter still.

Car was recalled for the ignition switch to get replaced.

Electric windows failed to close when alarm activated,dealer had to put onto diagnostics to clear, but fault still occurs frequently no faults can be determined I am told.

At 10500 miles catalyst and anti-pollution faults appeared on screen and K light was flashing, returned to dealer who put car onto diagnostics faults were recorded on engine ECU, these were cleared by dealer only to return less than 1000 miles later. Dealer checked out again this time no faults were recorded on ECU, they managed to clear the display and put out the K light again, only for the fault to return between the sevice bay and the collection point. Car is currently still running with faults as Peugeot UK are currently awaiting info from France.

General Comments:

The car is a joy to drive when there is no faults, but the faults tend to get you frustrated and angry, especially when you have spent a lot of money on what was supposed to be a reliable car, not a patch on my previous 306.

How can it be classed as European car of the year??? with as many faults as it has had.
