I have to say I bought a 1.6VVT Dynamique 03plate 37k miles from Renault 6 weeks ago and it is the worst car I have ever owned. To date it has had a new Dephaser Pulley, New door buttons and sensors (the hands free is a joke) and a new fuse box (apparently). Its also been back due to the throttle sticking intermittingly only for ½ a second or so but its bloody annoying when changing gear. (still not fixed).
Now the car has pushed me to the limit. Today driving back from a day out I noticed that the door lights stayed on even after locking the doors so I removed the bulbs not to have a flat battery by the morning. Then is evening when picking up my daughter she opened the passengers door window and now it refused to close (clicking). The car is now parked in a drive with a plastic bag over the door.
Fair play to the Renault garage I’m dealing with, they have been very quick and helpful but I have now had enough. I have lost all trust in the car and to be frank I don’t the dam thing. I’m not sure how I stand in getting my money back due to having it for 6 weeks, but I will be taking it back tomorrow. I hope I’m in the minority and this isn’t the standard for owning what is a lovely looking car.
