1998 Vauxhall Vectra GSi review from UK and Ireland
"A very good performer let down by poor dealership support, unreliable and poor build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
June 1999 - 2nd Service, sump plug left finger tight by Vauxhall Dealer, leaking oil.
September 1999 - Car broke down, gearbox problems, no gears! Had reported to Vauxhall 3 weeks before but they could not find any faults.
February 2000 - 5th Service, reported clutch was slipping, dealer could not find any problems. Next day the clutch died and the car broke down!
July 2000 - Central locking broke, could only access drivers down. All other doors, boot and fuel flap locked!! Also smoke coming from the dashboard, Vauxhall dealer took 3 weeks to fix and did not return any calls or update me.
General comments?
Poor paint quality on the front bumper, paint chips off very easily.
All speakers blown. Car quality is very poor, a lot of rattles.
Vauxhall do not try to sort problems out.
