Peugeot 2008 1.2T A/T – Constant Repairs Since Brand New

I bought a brand new Peugeot 2008 1.2T A/T in 2022, but the vehicle started giving problems when it was only 2 months old. Since then, it has been in and out of the dealership almost every year for serious repairs and breakdowns, sometimes multiple times a year excluding routine servicing.

The vehicle has already undergone major repairs, including an engine replacement, yet I continue to experience further mechanical issues and breakdowns. At this point, the car has spent more time at the dealership than with me as the owner.

The expenditure on repairs over time is now close to, or may even exceed, the value of the vehicle itself.

A brand new vehicle should not leave customers stranded every year. The stress, inconvenience, uncer*****y and loss of confidence in the vehicle have been unbearable.

I believe Peugeot South Africa needs to take accountability for what has become an ongoing and recurring defect issue.
