[Jp66]

Read this for a 2 yrs old car..... "But the way things are going, what I need is a lifetime warranty or a permanent solution."

The faults named in the article are common in its range of cars, not just this model. Those tin top folding roof also got the problem of not being able to fold up once it's folded down.

Cars should be kept simple...

I think the problem lies in the 3rd party parts suppliers in Europe. The parts that these companies supply are just not reliable.

lifetime warranty or a permanent solution? are they reliable?

[Toapayohkid]

he should sell his lemon now since demand for second hand car will rise in the current panic car buying

if they are reliable, then your JB workshop will close down.

or if the car lasts forever, the car makers also will close down! lol

If that the way I use the car, AD will be happy as warranty will be over due to mileage clocked in just 1.5years (3 years or 60,000km)!

Then AD can wash backside clean clean and not providing a fault prove warranty on repairs as base on service histories on half-fxxk jobs.

On what basis are you making that statement? Are you referring to 3rd party parts supplier or tier 2/3 parts supplier?

 

I do not think it's fair for you to make that statement, particularly if you are not a tier 2/3 parts suppliers to tier 0/1 automotive maker. Every company will have its internal quality program, which has to be audited by both ISO and TS auditing body, and also by the customer itself. The customer itself has its own quality system, which also has to be audited.

 

I think what we have to appreciate is that in manufacturing, nothing can be 100% perfect. It is created by man, run by man, and therefore flawed like man. There will be slip ups in the system, and there will be problems that are undetected by the quality system. In particular, some of these 'Friday Cars', are made by your tier 0 makers, on Fridays, by workers who are eager to get off work, and go on to enjoy their weekend. It happens for all marque and all models.

 

Sometimes, it's just pure dumb bad luck, and i believe it doesn't just apply to cars. It can happen to your air-conditioner, your vacuum cleaner, your flat screen tv or your rice-cooker as well.

 

And i'm sure you are curious about what i do, and why i care. Because we have a family business, and we cater pre-dominantly to tier 0/1 automotive customers. So i would like to think i have a clearer idea about this industry in particular.

Personally, I would never lay my hands on a Peugeot (or Citroen).

 

I used to have a Peugeot Partner van for personal usage, and had the following parts replaced or repaired under warranty.

 

1) Signal stalk faulty

2) Rubber at sliding door warped

3) ABS warning light on dashboard keeps appearing

4) Brake cylinder pump

5) Passenger side power window motor

6) Petrol tank fuel hose

7) Faulty glove box that could not close properly

 

I would always remember what the Indian Sales Advisor told me when I commented that French cars are so problematic. He said "You could get sued for what you just said."

 

I am glad to have stuck to a Japanese make since then, and it has served me well.

Think BM, KM, TCM will soon give us lifetime (10y) unlimited warranty. But, the car must be service by their workshop, else void.

The servicing charges is up to them to decide . You want?

KM just started to give 5y unlimited warranty, matching C&C for Kia.

The reason I see this is, they want to lock down the cars they sell to be service by their workshop only as their workshop might be under utilize right now.

So, it is a good marketing strategy (5y unlimited warranty) and at the same time, fill up their empty workshop (Operations efficiency).

no doubt driving a peogeot gives an impression of sporty hippy personality.

 

its either go for mainstream models tested by many or go for niche models that ppl dont drive for some reasons including reliability.

 

im wondering how come some of these brands have constant quality issues and yet never recall? Imagine u have a kid in the car and the door just slide open?

I would have told that Indian Sales Advisor to go fly a kite...

 

You are expressing your opinion based on your experience...

 

Instead you should told him that you can sue him for slander as he's insinuating that you are making it up...hahah

True enough, the charge is higher, but you can have peace of mind. I just don't have confidence on those workshops outside, especially most cars nowadays have so many 'auto' stuffs. For my case, I did not report any problem when I sent in my cars, but BM voluntary replaced my battery during 20K servicing and shaft during 40K servicing.
