[hacked off]

Hi, im really looking for a lot of help, im new to posting on car forums.

 

I have a C8 that is a 03 plate and ever since the day we bought it we have had a shed load of problems, looking through the pages here it seems im not the only one.

 

Anti Pollution fault,

Diesel Filter

That little engine light that never lights up

Seats not folding

Diesel Filters

Throttle butteryfly

Air bag

Electrovalve

EGR Valve

Hand brake cable

Spare wheel carrier

 

 

I believe my car is dangerous to drive, 2 weeks after leaving Kendal Citroen it is guranteed to be faulty again, i took it to Kendal (100 mile round trip) around 20 times during its warrenty year.

 

Around the two week mark i start losing acceleration, it begins slowley but by the 3rd to 4th week i struggle to make 30 miles per hour foot to the floor in second.

 

Im lost, upset and downright hacked off. now i dojnt know what to do, i feel im taking my childrens lives in my hands when we go out. it is dangerous trying to accelerate out of a junction. it is no exception to say that coming out of a junction straight onto a hill that i could walk faster up it.

 

please help, point me in a direction where i can either get the issue fixed or complain directly to Citroen

 

thank you

your car sounds like the same problem my mum had with her xsara, it just lost power whilst driving it back from a trip to scotland, it got so bad that eventually i just refused to drive it any further and brought the RAC out to it. I had wondered why the previous owner had only had it 8 months, the RAC took it to the dealers it was purchased from and gave us a lift home. It had a faulty ECU and once it came back it took off like a rocket, even if the car is no longer under warranty if they havent sorted it out while it was then they have a responsibilty to sort it out, if its on finance contact your finance company for advice or contact trading standards.

Have you had this fixed yet?

 

If not I would recommend you contact Citroen UK about it.

 

Your vehicle is not fit for purpose, see what they say about that.

Hi Hacked off

Can't help with all your problems. I've only got a problem with my spare wheel carrier. The wire no longer winds around the drum. Citroen think the winch may have been operated with an air wrench. Do you have a similar problem? Could this be a design fault? Should Citroen be fixing this for free? Citroen say I should complain through a dealer. Any information you have could help build a case. Please get in touch.
