2011 Renault Grand Scenic Dynamique Tom Tom petrol from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Loved the car with no faults in the first two years. 4 year life for wiper motors is not good

Faults:

Where do I start?

Dash board problems, seat belt alarms going off constantly.

Handbrake warning light constantly lighting. Has been checked with no fault.

Just had an MOT fail on a wiper fault. The car has now been in the garage for 5 days with a quote of £500+. Wipers stop half way on windscreen, can be reset during engine shut down, but only correct their position occasionally. Not a wiper arm fault; the garage has quoted for two new motors, which are clearly working. Does anyone know how to correct this fault? Can the spindle from the motors be renewed, or can this be caused by an electronic fault. I don`t believe this is a motor fault, and I'm worried at being charged these extortionate prices for motors. I cannot get my vehicle back without an MOT, so it's lying in the garage until the problem is sorted. Without being disrespectful to the mechanic, I feel they are grasping at straws.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
