"Great Car let down by reliability, not worth the hassle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Tyre valves needed replacement as the supplied Chrome ones corroded so much that the entire valves (inc. Tyre pressure sensors) need replacing. V Expensive!

Cigarette Lighter Fuse for rear blown.

Intermittent Electrical Fault for Water Temp. Results in "STOP" being displayed every 20 minutes or so for 15 seconds.

A/c blows full hot every now and again.

Electric Headrests stuck fully up.

Sat Nav "locked up"

Electrical fault which allowed the key to be taken out of the car with the engine still running (took 27 days at dealer to fix!)

Electrical Fault which left radio on in car even when key removed and car locked (radio on/off switch not working either)

General comments?

My last 7 cars have been Peugeot. This is the worst car I have every owned. It is so disappointing as it has the potential for greatness (comfy, economical, Quiet, Good Value) but it is let down by reliability and my local dealer is awful. I now drive 60 miles and wait for work to be done rather than take it to my local main dealer. In this day and age to have poor reliability is not acceptable.

Noticed your problems with the chrome tyre valves... I had the same issues and my dealer admitted that Peugeot had "got this one wrong ". They had not calculated the effect that salt from the road would have on the valves, as the corrosion that occurred, caused the valves to shear off and the tyre to deflate. I had all four replaced under warranty at my main dealer.

Might be worth a call to put in a retrospective claim???
