Hi,
Its me again (I originally posted this back in 2005).
The problem (power loss) continued right up until last year when I received an "automatic transmission failure" which sent the car into a "limp mode". I took it to the peugeot mechanic who told me that I had to pay to replace a valve on the transmission. After $904 (AUS) dollars, the problem has not occured since (i.e. the power problem has dissappeared). I have since written to Peugeot to complain about this and all the issues I have experienced since buying this car brand new in 2004.
Here is the list of severe issues I have experienced:
- 1 month after warranty ended, the chrome coating on my handbrake cracked and peeled
- The rotors have been machined 3 times to fix a shaking problem that I had with the steering wheel (have been told I will need to replace them if the problem occurs again)
- The transmission valve needed replacing @ 50,000 kms
- Now the car is at the mechanics because the alternator and battery has died (approx cost ~ $700 - $1200)
May I add that my car has done only 53,000 kms!!!!
I have taken up all these issues with Peugeot and am waiting for a reply.
I will let you know how it turns out.
Meanwhile, has anyone had or know of any similar issues, as I would love to notify Peugeot and let them know about them!
