"Rubbish"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alarm sets itself off without warning after locking.

Foot brake loose & sticks if pressed too hard.

Remote locking failed.

Rear brakes scrape.

No power from engine when slowing down and setting off again quickly.

Gearbox failed completely - warning light on.

Traction control failed.

ABS failed.

Trip computer stuck.

Fuel tank lights failed.

Unknown beeping noises when setting off - dealer unable to fix.

Cabin rattles at any speed.

Unable to do a hill start due to gearbox overriding manual control and trying to set off in 3rd.

No 1st gear even in manual mode automatic takes over and changes to 2nd whether you want it to or not.

Bonnet open warning light where clock is even though it is shut - which means alarm does not work.

Gearbox numbers stuck on 0 - no idea what gear in.

All brakes had to be replaced & front suspension needed changing.

Dealer unhelpful - car has been back several times and never had all the faults fixed, still waiting for parts.

At times the car has been a death trap to drive and it should never have been returned to me until it was fixed.

General comments?

Other than these problems car OK!

Citroen c2.

Hahaha amazing.

Replacement gear box, replacement on way out.

Car shakes when ticking over

engine light came on on friday

suspension is knackared

lock the car and come back and its unlocked, tried blaming my stereo, but I paid them to fit it so that wouldn't happen.

Glove box falls open when its locked.

Often crunches into gear

no power when slowing down and moving off again at speed

when you do get up to speed and change gear it drops revs right down and you lose all speed.

was told it had tracking and eps when i bought it...but it hasn't

so i go to citroen manchester to get it fixed. i get told by the bloke who took me out in it that it is programed to change gear at 3500 revs no matter what.????. told me if i wanted a sporty model i should have got the vts, which wasn't out when i got mine and i shold expect it to be like a vtr even tho it has a vtr badge.

i get back to the show room, start shouting and the general manager assualts me. hahaha. gotta love citroen

Grrr.

Don't out of service - Snow mode lights up, car won't start!

Dealership had car for 5 days and charged £200+ on diagnostic checks - still not fixed...
