2006 Vauxhall Vectra Exclusive review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am also affected by the Vectra handbrake failure which occurred to our vehicle today - the car was on our own drive which has a slight slope, handbrake applied as usual - over 15 minutes 2 or 3 trips had been made to and from the vehicle emptying boot.
On returning once more to the vehicle, it had left the drive and hit a lampost opposite - fortunately no other vehicle or persons were passing, so the only damaged incurred is to our vehicle - I understand this is a regular occurrence and was featured a few weeks ago on the Watchdog programme.
We had received a sticker from Vauxhall a few weeks ago on how to apply a handbrake, but this did not prevent this accident!
I contacted my dealer and am awaiting response from them.
