2003 Dacia Solenza Scala review from Romania

"Conclusion: 6507 Euro spent for nothing! I'm not going to buy any other product of Dacia (even if Gr"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

First of all, the idle for the engine is between 600 RPM and 1200 RPM. Went to service, everything works OK, nobody knows where that uneven idling comes from.

Second problem, the engine loses all of its strength when the ambient temperature is high. It doesn't have power at all, becomes very dangerous on the road.

Third problem, A/C compressor very noisy. Changed one under warranty, the new one sounds the very same.

Fourth problem, the moving mechanism of the seats worn out already! When braking, the seat moves forward. When accelerating, the seat goes bacwards... I've ordered these parts back in July, and still not arrived (it's October 25).

Fifth problem, the bumpers (front and rear), the bonnet, and the aileron had to be repainted. The paint just flew away while washing the car.

Sixth problem, the windshield drove me crazy. I was afraid to drive the car anymore, because the windshield appeared that will fall inside or outside of the car. Went to the service and they have tried to do something with some silicone, but the sounds are back and the windshield is moving again (after 1 week only).

I'm not going to talk about all kind of sounds I'm hearing from inside the doors, dashboard, trunk... I'm not going to talk about the water leaking inside the car... I'm not gonna talk about the spare parts that are impossible to be located even with the manufacturer...
