2001 Renault Grand Espace expression review from UK and Ireland
"I do think Renault quality control could be better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint faults on the bonnet
Headlights not assembled
Drivers seat stitching coming undone
Electrical faults
Air con smell
Seat belt locking
Accelerator sticking
Warning lights on
Number plate fell off
Oil leak
Front wipers streaking worn out
Air ducting missing out of front door
Holes in front carpets
And so on and so on.
General comments?
This Espace is not 1 year old yet it has only done 9200 miles and it is on the 19th fault
And as for the rear seat rattle when unoccupied just put the head rests down!
On the good side it is very quiet and very good on fuel. The new common rail engine seems to be good so far.
