Alarm system goes off at random, even after complete new system fitted.
Automatic headlights come on even in bright sunshine.
Radio works whenever it feels like it.
Numerous warning messages on dashboard at random.
Engine failed recently due to total electric failure.
Hopeless electrics only matched by standard of dealership!
Have just bought a two year old Megane, from purchase, the injection failed needed new valves. Had to have an new battery as existing one faulty, broke down had to be towed away. On board computer flashes service light randomly and says electrical fault am at my wits end!
I purchased a Renault Megane 52, last February/ March with only 13,000 on the clock.
I spent days looking for my Dynamique. Since having the vehicle the air bag light was faulty, The steering lock came on whilst I was driving it with my children in the back! That was very scary! (The ‘Chip’ needed replacing).
The vehicle will not start even when you have your foot on the brake or clutch. This has happened 3 times now, and each time they have said there is nothing wrong with it and gave me a new key card! It left me stranded at 1 am in the morning! When I told the garage they looked at me in disbelief. It is now November and my warranty only has 2mnths left to go. So since I have been the owner of this popular ‘shake your arse’ car it has been in the garage car 5 times in the last 7/8 months. I will never buy another Renault again. I would be better off with my husbands 10year old car at least it will get me to work!
I bought a second hand car privately. Megane 03 DCI model. 65,000 miles on the clock.
Injection system and pump replaced at 18,000 under warranty, and now it has gone again. Fighting with Renault to try and get them to pay. They tried to tell me that I had put petrol in, and then said it was dirty diesel. Second opinion soon proved them wrong.
Will never buy another one, and will find it hard to trade this in, as garages will not touch them.
Injectors in the model are far too sensitive, and go often at a cost of about 400 each.
Be warned about this model. Well known for faults within the trade.
