Automatic gearbox failed day three.
Electric windows and locks had a control all of their own, quite often when returning to the car it would be unlocked.
Sun roof would often get stuck open, normally as it started to rain.
Screen wash leaked out of the rear stereo speakers
Engine developed a fault which allowed maximum speeds of 10MPH.
Airbag fault was intermittent.
I purchased a MPV because of the size of my family. Dealers, when loaning courtesy cars need to consider what car is being serviced or repaired. A 2 seater saxo is not great customer service when you have a C8!
The local dealer was extremely helpful, the car being relatively new to the market place has many more faults than I would expect and it would seem that we were not alone with these faults when searching the Internet now. Many reviews read very familiar.
The car is comfortable at speed, not so around town.
Pleased to say we now have a Grand Voyager.. take note Citroen.
I to have had a number of problems with my C8 automatic gearbox, to the extent that I had to have a new one after just 9000 miles. My C8 now has 21000 miles on the clock and is about to be fitted with another gearbox.
I recently submitted a rejection notice to the Citroen dealer that supplied me with the vehicle. This I felt was justified after reading an article in the Independent featuring a London Taxi company who purchased 240 automatic Fiat Ulysses's (this is the same vehicle as the Peugeot 807 and the Citroen C8). 210 of there vehicles have had a new gearbox, some of them four. I am told the life expectancy is between 10000 and 30000 miles. I would like to know if there are any other people out there who have had similarly problems. I can go on in greater detail, but I think you get my drift.
